VW Beetle Type 1

With pride, glee, and 10PSI more air in the back tires than in the front. The air part is the most important - because the engine is hanging off the back of the car, control is gained by putting more tire in the back than in the front. You can either put wider tires back there, like Porsche and Lamborghini do, or blow up the tires harder.

IIRC Volkswagen originally called for .004 intake and .006 exhaust on that engine. John Muir, who wrote "How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive," always recommended setting both valves to .006, and VW eventually agreed.

There are many possibilities depending on how deep your pockets are and how much time you have.

Here are a few sites that can help in the engine department of beetles.

12 volt standard lead acid or what ever you want to put in it. Make sure it's not too tall as the rear seat springs are STEEL and it will make contact with the posts.

People have done it but it's very hard. What WILL fit on your Beetle are the disc brakes from a 1969-on Karmann Ghia.

65 should have kingpins

The 2013 Volkswagen Beetle has a drag coefficient of 0.37 Cd.

Shell Rotella T 10W30. Rotella T is made for hot-running diesel engines, which makes it perfect for our hot-running gas engines. Any name brand 30W will also work if you don't have a filter. Cheaper. Works just fine for stock motor.

make sure you dont loss the spring that is in the shaft, make sure that when you put the dist. down in the block that the grove is matched up in the bottom of the spot where dist goes in, one side is bigger than other, after its seated you will have to set timeing

under the back seat right in the middle. it should be 7 numbers/letters

It goes in the engine compartment, but the coolant that you need is only available from the dealer.

You need G12 coolant it can be purchased online and it mixes half and half with distilled water.

When downshifting you let the truck run at a low rpm like around 1200 then easly take it out of gear and then rev the truck up about 300 rpm while shifting into the lower gear. Eventually you will get the feel of the truck and sound and will be able to do it in your sleep.

1500 cc

On the main body of the transaxle you will notice two allen screw plugs, one at the bottom and one on the side. These take a 17 mm size allen wrench available at many classic VW parts sources for little money. Fill the transaxle to the bottom of the side opening to where it just begins to run out. Of course if you wish you can drain the transaxle by removing the bottom one, might be a good idea if it hasn't been done in years.

You can tell if your window regulator is broken on a Volkswagen Beetle when you hear a big clunk as it goes down.

The problem is that after 30 plus years the wires get old and the electrical resistance increases until turning the key just doesn't supply enough to engage the starter. The good news is there's an easy fix. Visit the link posted below in the Sources section.

Basic steps:

buy carb rebuild kit
take carb apart
clean really well
put back together with the parts out of the rebuild kit.

Horn contacts grounded.

The curb weight of the 2009 Volkswagen Eos is 3505 lbs..
