The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve for a 1979 Super Beetle can typically be found mounted on the intake manifold or near the carburetor. It's often a small metal component with a vacuum line connected to it. For replacement or inspection, you can check auto parts stores, online retailers specializing in vintage Volkswagen parts, or classic car salvage yards. Always consult the vehicle’s service manual for specific details and diagrams.
I suggest purchasing a repair manual for that vehicle. Bentley published the best manuals for Volkswagens, if you can find one.

There are a few things to look at, look at the windshield first, in a super beetle it will be curved, also on a super beetle if you look at the front suspension you will see struts (springs instead of shocks) and if you open the hood you will see a circular depression for the spare tire to lay down, and the last way to tell is to look at that dashboard, a super beetle has a dashboard that is big enough to throw a pack of cigarettes on to whereas a standard bug has no dashboard.Actually, in a 1971 and 1972 beetle you can get a super beetle with a flat window and a flat dash. I own a 1971 Super beetle. It looks like a standard beetle in every way but it is slightly larger. The only way to tell is by looking for a spare tire that lays flat (only true in the Super) and the suspension. I suggest looking at the spare. If it is angled vertically it is standard - laying flat means it's a super.

Most of the parts for old classic Beetles are still easy to find and relatively inexpensive.
All fuses should be 8 amps (white) with the exception of circuits 9 and 10. These circuits should be 16 amps (red). Hope this helps. also there is a fuse box diagram for a 73 super beetle found on this link (you can find other super beetle fuse box diagrams and wiring diagrams there too) http://www.vintagebus.com/wiring/bug-73+fuse.jpg
Where could I find a wiring diagram for a 1976 VW super beetle? Either in the Bently repair manual (the orange one): http://www2.cip1.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=Bently&Search1=Search If you are keeping the car it is well worth the money. Or one of the VW Bug forums like: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/ And search for "1976 Super wiring diagram".
