VW Beetle Type 1

It is located on the engine block just below and to the left of the distributor. It has a big nut on it with a wire connection coming out of it. BE CAREFUL replacing this as it is very easy to break. Just hand tight, then a little more...

Remove Wolfsburg badge, remove brown cable. Unscrew nut size 32 from the shaft. Take away the wheel. On some models (Type I's and Karmann Ghias), the brown cable is not connected to anything, it sits in an insulating sleeve in the end of the shaft and all you see is a brass contact. If you ground the brown wire with your wrench/socket, the horn will sound. A little penetrating oil between the shaft splines and the wheel hub will make life easier.

2000 VWs use ODB2. There are some test equipment that do not conform the initialization specs on ISO 9141-2, implemented by VW on some cars, models 1999 to 2001, resulting in a communication problem. If you are having this problem getting smog check, and you have no aftermarket equipment on the car that could be incorrectly installed, then I would suggest to stop by the dealership.

The ground clearance of the 2012 Volkswagen Touareg is 0 ft. 7.9 in. (7.9 in.).

this happened to us a couple of times. we believe it is caused by an air bubble in the brake lines, because pumping the brakes only makes it worse and if you leave it alone for about an hour, it fixes itself. i dont know if there is such a thing as flushing the brake lines, but you could look into it. we would like to fix the problem once and for all, but truthfully are afraid it might end up being a huge, expensive job.

all you have to do is unscrew the cable from the top of your transmission, then from behind tbe actuall speedo

There was no 1969 "super beetle" only the standard. And which line are you replacing the hard line or the flex line?

Count back 8 digits from the end of your serial number (VIN). A 01 has a 1, and a 02 has a 2.

The 8th digit from the right, that tells the model year, period. It's an international digit for year model, in all types of vehicles

If the 8th digit back is a 1, the year model is 2001, regardless of production date. 2000 and older stopped at the end of the alphabet (no Z, it can look like a 2), so if it's a Y, it's a 2000, X is 1999, and so on. No U's, Q's, O's, or I's either. Starts with A for 1980. A build date of 1/1/01 can technically be called a 2002 model. The 8th digit back is it for year model.

So, for your Vin# the Eighth # from the right is a 2 so it's a 2002

my 1998 vr6 jetta gets approximately 23 mpg in city driving with 5 speed transmission.

There is sring clip on the front of the seat on the right hand side (if you are sitting on the seat your right hand side). Move the seat as far forward as you can and then with a scredriver press the clip towards the floor. You will need a light to see this clip. It took me a few days to figure out how to remove the seta.

Good Luck

Not without an incredible amount of modification. 1962 Beetles use "swing arm" suspension. The transmission has the axles attached through U-joints. At the wheel end, there is a spring plate with a hole in it for the axles to pass through. 1974 Beetles have "independent rear suspension." There is a constant-velocity joint on both ends of each axle, there's both the spring plate and a diagonal stiffener, and there's a bracket on the frame to hold the stiffener.

Remove the respective fuse, or a more effective method: remove the corresponding (red) wire from the in back of the ignition switch. This is the most sure-fire way to insure your bug from coming up missing, aside from removing the battery or the steering wheel. Take the cable that runs from the coil to the distributor with you. You can swap fuses around or reconnect the switch wire and steal the car anyway, but you're not going anywhere if the coil wire is gone.

curb weight ranges between 1650-1750 lb.

Open the hood(front). Pull out the spare tire. On the drivers side, you'll see a round plate held in by a sheet metal screw. Remove the screw, and plates, and you will be looking at the top of the steering box. There should be a plastic plug there. Pop it out with a screwdriver, and add the reqired amount. Don't fill it all the way to overflow. Plug in. Plate on. Tire in. And drive.

Most of the parts for old classic Beetles are still easy to find and relatively inexpensive.

No, but a friend helps: the bolt and its nut have 17mm heads. Problem is, one person can't hold both wrenches.

Here is your tip for today: When you get that bolt out, take it to a welding shop and have a bolt welded to the head so it sticks out about 3/4". When you start tightening the nut onto it, the little bolt will hit the side of the transmission and you'll be able to screw the nut on by yourself. When loosening the nut, the bolt will spin around and hit the transmission...same result.

The gross weight of the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle is 3858 lbs..

You have to shift gears in all of them, so you'd call them "manual," but in 1969 you could get an "autostick" transmission that had an automatic clutch connected to a manual transmission.

Located and threaded into the master cylinder, it works off brake fluid pressure. Make sure it has power going into one of the terminals and will have power out with the pedal depressed. Note thatthe brake lights won't work if there is a problem with your brake fluid level beingextremely low, or you can't get the pedal to pump up (works different from most cars).

The same place all of them are, between the engine and transmission
at the flywheel.

an old one- no, just a tube going into the air filter.

When the car came from the factory, they were fixed.

About 190 to 210 degrees fahrenheit. Perhaps a tad higher.
