What do you do when the automatic seat bealt is stuck and will not move on a Mazda mx3 1993?
Mazda has a recall on their seatbelts for some models for this reason. ask a Mazda dealer if your model has the seatbelt recall. I believe the 92 mx3 has a recall for the auto seatbelts, but i am not sure about 93. Look into it though and they might fix it for free!

What years were Volkswagens made?
what year did questions stop making sense?
No kidding.
Well, the Volkswagen Sedan, know as the Bug or Beetle, was manufatured beginning in 1938. 1979 was the last year they were imported to the US, but they were made in places like Brazial and Mexico until at least 2003.
Volkswagen as an auto manufaturer is, however, still making VW brand cars, and shows no signs of stopping.
YES. The car is almost 50 years old so some steps are involved.
At the very least drain and replace the oil in the motor and try to siphon out the old gas and add fresh. (and the transmission if you have time.)
Also keep an eye on the gas lines as the bends have rubberized cloth hoses and they can rot and split and spray gas all over. They are great when new but don't have a long life. Some times even the metal gas lines can rust and seep gas so you'll have to keep your eye out when you first get it started. Check all the bands holding the fuel lines to the metal lines and such to make sure the fittings haven't shrunk and the bands have loosened.
Absolutely check the brake fluid and brake lines incase the rubber parts of the hose's have rotted and have holes in them. The rubber parts can swell -inside- and may keep the brakes from releasing and/or may not even pass any fluid to the brakes at all.
Things to replace as soon as possible:
-ALL rubber gas lines with new german oem rubber gas lines.
-Fuel strainer (filter) in tank.
-All rubber brake line parts.

Answer2001 Chevy prismWhat color is the wire that goes to the automatic choke on a 1973 Volkswagen beetle?
The wire that goes to the automatic choke is actually black. You can find the complete wiring diagram here. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/wiringt1.php
- - - - -
It's whatever color the last guy to change the wire had some of in his toolbox. These cars are old enough and have been worked on by so many people, they're all different. There is one wire running from the + terminal on the coil to the carb. It connects to the automatic choke, and to the fuel cutoff plunger.

The genesis of discount retailers, known as "undersellers," also occurred in the early 1900s. S. Kline (1912), J. W. May (1924), and Alexander's (1928) were the early undersellers of soft goods (e.g., apparel).
Can a 1960 beetle run on unleaded?
If it's got the original valve seats in it, I'd recommend using Lead Substitute in your gas. If you've got stellite valve seats, which by now you almost certainly do, unleaded is fine.
