What would cause your driver side window to go about 34 way up and then stop you have to pull it the rest of the way on my 99 beetle I have power windows?

If it isn't sitting just right in the guide rails then the friction will be stronger than the motor, which will cause the window to stop. When you're pulling you're helping the motor along so that the window continues all the way up. You can try spraying the guide rails with teflon- or silicone spray, but eventually you'll have to have the window realigned.

How do you remove a classic vw transaxle?

You first remove the engine.

Next, jack up the car and put it on stands. You've got to drain the transmission, remove the axles, front transmission mount, backup light wire, ground wire and shift linkage from the transmission.

Lower the car to the ground and put a transmission jack under it.

There are two bolts holding the back of the transmission to the car. Remove them, and the transmission will come out.

What size are the bolts that hold in the rear seat?

The size of the bolts that hold in the rear seat can vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle. Generally, they are often 10mm or 12mm bolts, but it's best to consult the vehicle's service manual for the specific size and type needed for your particular car. If you're unsure, using a socket set to test for the right fit is a practical approach.

Can you tow a trailer with a VW Beetle?

What is German look VW?

It is an Old Volkswagen, usually the 1302 or 1303 Super Beetles. They usually are mildly lowered for handling with racing suspension and Porsche wheels. Most of them have trim shaved for weight and a more flowing look. They have gutted interior with only the necessities such as pedals, shifter, steering wheel, gauges, and racing belts. Also most of them have Type 4 engines in them, and some go as far as putting 5 speed Porsche transmissions in. That is the extreme German Look Volkswagen. Now a lot of people consider a moderately lowered Volkswagen (usually the 1302 or 1303 Super Beetles) on Porsche wheels to be German Look, which in a sense it is, just not as pure of a German Look Volkswagen as what I listed above. Here is a link to the German Look website.

Where is your antifreeze going if its not leaking?

Check to see if it is mixing with engine oil

Run engine to normal operating temperature and remove oil dipstick, let a drop fall on hot part of engine - oil will smoke coolant will "sizzle"

If so could be a sign of a bad head gasket

It's not going anywhere in a Type 1 Beetle because we never used antifreeze in aircooled engines.

In a New Beetle, it could be going one of three places. In ascending order of dread:

You could have a leak you don't know about. Do you smell antifreeze inside the car? Heater cores do spring leaks occasionally. (Changing one is an awful job. Hope it's not that.) Heater hoses leak. Little pinholes you can't even see will cause leaks you can't find.

You could have a bad head gasket.

Or you could have a cracked block.

Where is cylinder one on a 1963 beetle?

How do you change a cam in an air cooled vw?

You have to completely disassemble the engine to changethe cam. For a good book to help you I recommend the "How to keep your Volkswagen alive" by John Muir.
