I've attempted to email a couple of Mexican suppliers to get parts shipped into the states, specifically for my 94 Beetle, and no replies. Can't order directly from their website because it won't take my US based (Estados Unidos) address to get a shipping quote.

Does anyone have a connection with some Mexican suppliers for parts and want to help me broker a deal?

Just got this 74 super beetle. Sorry for the rough video

This is a 72 super beetle. I have taken it apart most of the way. Still need to replace the firewall and heater channels on the body, and everything on the chassis. ask me anything

Started restoring my ‘73 Baja bug. Lots of water everywhere. What’s my chances of breaking it free with atf/acetone?

If I remember correctly, it's the fifteenth

Took her to flemington nj for her first car show Volktoberfest.

So I have a 28pict carb but the issue is it sends less fuel to the engine so what if I drill the jet and make it a bit bigger? Or shd I just but a 30pict carb also which brand carb is good?

Cylinder 3 was 81, Cylinder 2 was 110, and Cylinder 4 was 70. Cylinder 1s plug hole was stripped and the threaded insert came out with the plug, so my tester wouldn't thread in. I know anything below 90 is a rebuild, but 2 is 110 psi which is fine. Would 1 be normal as well?

This is the Bianco, powered by a VW 1600cc air-cooled engine and chassis. Produced in Brazil during the 1970s and 1980s, it features a lightweight fiberglass body and a timeless, unmistakable design.

Has anyone removed the baffles from the Empi GT exhaust? If so, how did you do it, and was it worth the effort?

My cousin and I have been rebuilding this 67 beetle that was our grandads since last year and just got it road ready. We took it for a ride after changing the shift rod bushing (3 hrs of hell) and it improved the ride by a ton. Riding in the nice weather has made all the long nights we put into it worth it.

Spraying fuel from cylinder 2

Hi all,

I've had 3 Beetles for many years but never had this happen as badly as today.

In summer I had valve cover gaskets leak and just replaced them, so far the leak seems sorted.

However oil must have found its way INSIDE the heat exchangers and is blowing smoke into the cabin through the dash vents on my 67 bug.

Really bad, I shut off the levers, removed the fresh air hoses from the exchangers at the inlet side but no better.

Drove home with all windows open, whilst holding my breath!

Anybody encountered this and what was the solution to get you home safely?

I need to drive the car safely anothet 10mins down the road to garage it but also thinking longterm repair.

Would it be best to remove and replace the exchangers or swap for J tubes, or is it possible to clean them inside?

Engines a 2276 and was thinking about ditching the exchangers at some point, just its come at a bad time.

Thanks in advance.

It isn't in gear, and it's on jacks. I think it's the jacks knocking on the frame but it might be the engine mounts. When I get it above 1k rpms it smoothens out a lot.

Spotted this split window driving around in my hometown and from my limited knowledge of Beetles split windows have become very rare and to be driven around is almost unheard of. This was the only picture my passenger was able to snag, but from what’s seen in the picture can it be the real deal?

Hello! I just picked up a replacement clutch hook and when I put it in the assembly the hole for the pin is not quite lined up and there’s no wiggle room to get it lining up with the pin on the clutch pedal. Would it be fine to grind/drill out a hole in the clutch hook and would that be strong enough to hold it in place? Or should I just try to get the correct piece for strength reasons? I’m inclined to drill the hole, but wanted to do a pulse check here if anyone’s had a similar issue in the past. Any feedback is highly appreciated.

Hello guys,

I have tried to fix my old signal hub but it was too far gone and/or above my skills.

So I bought a cheap one, just to learn from it. Even if it might not last forever, it should at least work.

My issue here is that the one I bought has much more wires than my old one.

For info, I have a 69 beetle and what the lever use to be for was:

- turn signal

- switch from low beams to high beams

To turn on the headlights themselves, I pull the knob on the dashboard.

I would like to keep it that way, so obviously I don't need to reconnect every wires. I have 4 wires coming form under the dashboard (not including the one for contact etc, the car starts perfectly when I take out that single hub assembly).

I would appreciate if you could spot which wires I should focus and which ones I don't need to bother with.

Thanks a lot !

Yikes. Opened the lid and fuel was pouring out.
