2015年10月1日 · I was driving to work a couple days ago, and lo and behold what do I see on the road next to me but a 1968 VW Beetle, dual exhaust, in near perfect condition, stock. And the perfect color, VW turquoise blue. The only problem with …

2011年5月20日 · just bought a 74 beetle. The car started up and I drove it home just fine. The next morning it was dead. Autozone charged the battery, said it was a good battery, and once again it ran fine for the rest of the day. Next morning it was dead again. Is there something draining my battery that i’m unaware of?

2008年8月20日 · The VW air-cools must use a VW specific coil with an internal ballast or the ignition points will burn up and the condenser may get knocked out. If you do not have power at the coil with the key in both positions it’s quite possible the …

2010年6月23日 · How does one determine a blown engine. My furure son-in-law bought a '74 VW Bus, drove it from NH to MA about 200 miles. It drove fine but seemed to lose some power. It idled a bit before he shut it down then next morning it wouldn’t start. Engine turns over but doesn’t fire up. I haven’t seen or listened to this myself but this is what he described. A mechanic, supossedly a VW expert ...

2009年8月18日 · The trunk on my '74 Super Beetle is stuck. I believe the cable is broken, disconnected, or needs adjustment.

2008年10月15日 · I have a 1974 VW Beetle that I’m restoring and the bumper brackets are in poor condition. Beginning in 1974, VW changed the bumper brackets to a shock absorber style to meet US safety regulations, but unfortunately, they absolutely cannot be found in the aftermarket. No one rebuilds them and no one makes aftermarket copies. They are the rarest of the rare in VW parts. I only have 2 options ...

2008年5月17日 · VW continued with the aircooled engine up untill 1974 then it was fuelinjected. VW did relocate the engine oil cooler some years earlier and this did help with the burning of #3 exaust valve. I think the earliest water cooler (besides the rabbit) was 1977 in the bus.My 1974 comment related to the bugs (they were super bettles by then) Some 1975 ...

2008年7月26日 · For what it’s worth, I worked for VW for many years and I love the air-cooled Bugs and Beetles; especially the 73/74 models. These cars would hold the road well, handle decent, and actually go uphill without wheezing! In 75 VW went to fuel injection, not out of choice, and this complicated things a bit. (Just an FYI here.

2009年3月28日 · A '73 VW Bug at is best is ancient technology, especially as it relates to safety. Having said that my daughter had a '74 Microbus at college in the early '90’s. She survived, but I won’t recommend it. Since then car safety has leaped forward, 18 wheelers have gotten bigger and faster, and there are more SUV’s on the road than cars.

2009年6月18日 · The 73/74 Super Beetles are the best ones ever made in my opinion. They will cruise at 70 MPH all day long and they handle pretty well due to the upgrade suspension with McPherson struts. In '75 they went to AFC fuel injection and this complicated things quite a bit.
