Removing EGR on FI Bug by
Mel P.
The system probably doesn't work. If I remove it and plug up all the
openings will there be any consequences on engine performance or operation?

Antique plate question by
Remco
In CT our antique or "early american" plates limit the value of a car
to $500. There is no useage limit here.
Clearly limiting the value of a car to $500 makes insurance and tax
inexpensive as well, but am wondering what happens in case of an
accident:
Clearly, a love tap by a buick will total the...

Recycling, re-using DP heads by
Mel P.
I have my old DP heads I replaced a couple of years ago. Is there any way
to test or inspect them to see if they are good or rebuildable? I had
replaced them thinking I had a bad valve. Not really sure...
While I was removing my 2 yr. old head, I cracked it (that's another story).
Is it...

[email protected]
old heads (one dropped a seat):
021 101 371 Q (air injection ports for exhaust)
new heads (bought off net)
022 101 372 3 (no air injection ports)
looks like everything will bolt up no problem,
are these the correct heads for 1700 73 bus?

How to fix a stripped spark plug? by
Earl Brown
I lost a plug today. That explains the bad mileage this last week. But I'm
in a tight spot - I need my daily driver.
Could someone give me a link to a "how to fix it" site?
Thanks!

Trouble starting my T3 after running. by
Gambini
Well, I have a problem with my bus. I have a 1981 Transporter and after
Ive driven it for a while, turn it off, then go to start it again, it
just cranks over and over. I had a guy say it was vapor lock. Also,
the fuel pump could be bad. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Starting a 74 super by
halcyonic88
It seems like there's quite a bit of people having starting issues.
Well here's mine. If I try starting it, I don't get a click or any
turning of the starter. If I have my lights on though, I do notice a
drop in power to the lights. So I'm thinking that the ignition switch
is ok, and that it's...

I've been so busy with school and stuff that it wasn't until yesterday
that I finally was able to pull the carburetor from the Wonderbus to do

difficult to start by
bug '59
Hi Ramva greetings from Holland,
Finaly got the engine running fine.
However, last week the car wouldn't start at all, not even 'the click' from
the starter.
Tried it 3 times (also no click) and all of a sudden the 4th time it
started.
I noticed earlier that the starter would not turn as fast as...

Rare VW sighting. by
Charles @ Kankakee
I saw a VW today and it was standing still. Super Beetle in blue, recently
purchased. (April of 05, guessing by the number on the plate and the sticker
on it.) Had lots of chrome on it. I don't remember having chrome under
the door handles, for instance. Looks good. Not too much rust for a...

rough valuation of karmann ghia? by
carlivar
Anyone got a rough idea what a very well restored 1967 Karmann Ghia
convertible should go for? California car most, if not all, of its
life so no rust whatsoever and great shape. Rebuilt original engine.
Perfect new interior. Seems like about $10k would be the upper
limit... do Ghias ever sell...
