Midnight Repairs (2017) by

He came down the back drive just before midnight on Christmas Eve. I was
out in the shop, about to call it a night when I heard the unmistakable
sound of a Volkswagen running on three cylinders. Bad valve.

trim. He pulled up...

'74 Super Beetle - Bad ignition switch? by
[email protected]
My 1974 super is having problems where the car starts and runs just fine but none of my accessories work. I sometimes works if I jiggle the key in the ignition. Would this be caused by a bad ignition switch? Accessories include headlights, radio, windshield wipers, fresh air defrost and rear window...

Sounds like you have never driven a VW bug in the winter.

Tire Pressure by
Lynn Martin
I just got some new Kuhmo Tires, 165/80/15, (great deals for $26 a piece on
the net!) for my 1974 Superbeetle.
Anyhow, I am going to get them mounted/etc. The "recommended tire
pressure" listed on the glove compartment door says Front - 18 psi and Rear
29 psi. This seems too low to me,...

Can I get my 1600i (MexiBeetle) bored to 1.8 or 2 liters? by
elzopi
I need to rebuild my engine as it has low compression and I am exploring getting a 1.8 or 2 liter kit.
My main concern is if the intake will match the new cylinders intake.
Another concern would be if my EFI will handle the additional fuel needs of a bored engine.
Thanks
