VW Beetle Type 1

All are designed for regular unleaded All are designed for regular unleaded

Best I remember, there's a part number stamped on the case at the bottom of the generator pedestal.

under rear seat bottom is a fuel pump access remove 3 screws to remove cover take out fuel pump and siphon that way

The jack point is underneith the running board between the rear wheel and door. But I would recommend getting a good screw type axle jack and jacking under the lower shock mount on any wheel. puts less stress on the body .

To get the seat base out, grab it, lift up a little and pull it out. The back comes out with two huge Torx screws. An Allen wrench might work.

open the hood, behind the grill, it should be on the left side(the horn), disconnect the wires running to it and unbolt it. take your new horn and bolt it on, then run the wires back to the new horn.

Yes, but wouldn't know how to get a copy to you.

Removal of Headlight lens requires a special tool to release the snaps located on the inner body rim. The first time I tried it (without the tool) I broke the snaps and had to replace the entire assembly.

Remember the lens assembly has to be waterproof/weather resistant, so any cracks will lead to failure of the headlight element.

My advice (if this is your first change) is to take it to the dealer and hover over the mechanic, asks multiple questions and go find the tool to purchase.

Believe me, it's worth the money and eliminates the aggravation of dealing with an impossible front end design.

You need to use premium fuel

I understand it is under the transmission closer to back of car. Waiting for my new switch to come in to know more.

It's on the nose of the transmission. There's a frame rail under it, which makes getting to it entertaining.

Zuendfolge (firing order) is stamped right under the generator mount on type 1 engines. 1432

Yes it will cost quite a bit because you have to buy a whole new Tranny, all the associated linkage, also you will need a clutch and new flywheel for the engine, and hopefully the car has a hole already cut in the firewall for the clutch pedal link. If I were you I would expect to pay somewhere from 3,500-5,000 in parts and that don't even count getting it installed.

of transmission and final drive: 5.3 U.S. pints (4.4 Imp. pints, 2.5 liters) Refill quantity 4.2 U.S. pints (3.5 Imp. pints, 2 liters)

righty tighty lefty loosey... are you kidding me? if somethings in the way move it then put it back replace wires on same plugs if that's too difficult most mechanics will do it for under 60 dollars in about 15 minutes

4,079 millimeters (160.6 inches) is the length of the 1970 Beetle. The Volkswagen-produced car in question numbers among the original, Volkswagen Type 1 vehicles produced from 1938 to 2003. The length reflects the distance from front to rear bumpers.

The 2014 Volkswagen Beetle has a 8 ft. 3.9 in. (99.9 in.) wheel base.

The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle is 5 ft. 11.2 in. (71.2 in.)12V front power outlet(s) wide.

Starting at the carb throttle linkage there is a little bolt that holds the cable. Soak it in penetrating oil first and carefully hold it in place with a pair of pliers as you loosen the bolt. Might wind up breaking this setup but don't worry as it is not expensive or hard to replace. Once it is loose go to the inside of the car, behind the throttle pedal you will see the other end of the cable. Pull the cable through. Feed the new cable through the little tube in the floor with a little grease on the cable to keep it freed up. It will come out behind the fan shroud in the engine compartment, use a mirror and a good light to help find it. Feed it through the fan shroud tube and reattach it to the carb throttle linkage. Test to make sure it works free and give full throttle for those drag races I'm sure you get into.

1979

In the 1967 Type 1 Beetle you had the 1500 cc engine, the Type 3 had the 1600 cc.

With a great deal of work, it will.

Yes, the hoods from 1968 to 1979 will all interchange.
