Set the parking brake, put the car in neutral and turn the key. Don't press the clutch pedal because that's hard on your main bearings.
The brake light switches.
They are located on the brake master cylinder. Vw joe. Have a great day
DOT 3 heavy duty works the best
For a 1973 Super Beetle the reservoir is located under the front hood on the drivers side. The two lines that exit the reservoir are for your dual master cylinder. One line fills the front and the other the rear brake lines.
You can go to www.superbeetle.com, they have great info and pictures on how to change your brakes.
That is a pressure controlled brake light switch, when you step on the brake pedal and develop pressure in the brake fluid the brake lights are switched on.
The one on the master cylinder is the brake light switch. The one on the brake pedal is for the automatic transmission, assuming that the car is automatic.
DOT 3, DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 (but NOT DOT 5, which is silicone brake fluid) can be used in your car.
The 1975 regular Beetle windshield will fit the 1971 Super Beetle.
If you look at the front suspension of any beetle you can tell if it is a super or non-super beetle. If there is a McPherson front suspension then it is a super beetle. If there is a torsion bar front suspension then it is a non-super beetle.
The super beetle was not put into production until 1971, there is no such vehicle as a 1964 super beetle.
