How do you replace the horn on your Volkswagen beetle?
The OTHER place Volkswagen liked to put horns on Classic Beetles is right in front of the front left wheel. It's close to the bumper bracket. You know how on really old Bugs, there are little oval grilles in the front fenders? The horn's right behind where those are, or would be. If it's there, or even if it's in the trunk, be sure the horn and not the electrical system feeding it is bad before you change the horn...because the wiring fails more than the horn does. Just get a known source of 12v--jumper cables to your battery work--and hook it directly to your horn. If it blows, rewire. The horn is easily replaced. It is located on the front right of your car, in the trunk. It looks kind of like a shell, and there are two wires connected to it. Unplug the wires, unscrew the nuts holding it on, and it should come right off.

How do you remove oil filler tube on a 1971 vw super beetle?
The oil filler tube is located on the alternator stand next to the alternator, or generator on older Beetles. There is a special tool for removal which few people seem to own, a crafty mechanic may be able to fabricate his own tool. If you remove the oil filler cap and look closely inside the tube you will see two slots opposite each other a couple inches down inside it. The tool fits these slots and then it unscrews off the stand.Due to the age of these enginesit can be difficult to persuade it to come off, and all manner of undesirable filth can be unleashed into the engine crankcase inthe process, so removal of the generator/alternator stand may be recommended. A sturdy vise would be able to hold itfor removal on the bench. The only reason for removal might be replacement with some manner of aftermarket type oil filler setup, many are available.
