Do you have to replace the axle because the outer axle boot is cracked?
You don't have to, but if its been torn for a while, a lot of filth gets in there and after you pay to have a boot put on,there is a 50-50 chance you will notice a grinding sound coming from the joint; then you have to pay to do it all over again. If there are over 75,000 miles on it, I would replace the axle. Mark

Why will your 1973 super beetle run but not hold a charge?
check your belt may be to lose ,mine did the same thing
The official Volkswagen-and-EPA-sanctioned way to hook this up: this is part of the VW vapor recovery system. In 1973 someone in Washington decided that a good thing to do to cut down air pollution would be to pipe the gas fumes from your tank into a charcoal canister and then into a hose which hooks to your air filter so they can be drawn into the engine and burned. The charcoal canister is in the system so a backfire doesn't cause your car to explode. Laugh not, this has happened.
On to today's situation: You can't get the correct replacement charcoal canisters. You can't get an air cleaner with the right fittings. And you probably don't want to replace the twenty feet of hose that's rotted away with the passage of forty years' time. Your safest action today is to plug the vent lines so your car isn't continually filled with the aroma of gasoline.

What is the correct way to install a new headliner in a 1974 VW Beetle 111?
Busbones.com has a partial how to do vw headliner install. Last 2 parts unavailable but lots of info. First you have to buy a good quality headliner. A few common handtools will come in handy. at this point you should also order new rubber seals for the front, rear and both quarter windows. The windows have to be removed in order to replace the headliner. The primary tool used will be a short blade putty knife (I used a bench grinder to dull the blade on mine so it would not cut the headliner fabric) which is used to tuck the fabric into the tabs that hold it in. There are steel rods called bows that fit through sleeves sewn into the headliner, these fit into tracks on the sides of the car's roof. The bows create the domed look of the headliner. You can start from the front or the back using clothes pins to hold the headliner in place so you can get things organized. You will have to pull the headliner tight and even so you do not have wrinckles. I used regular contact cement on my headliner and it worked great but you can use other types of adhesive if you want. After getting the headliner stretched front to rear you start on the sides. It is just about impossible to explain how to attache the sides, the best thing to do is to remove a headliner and pay attention to how it was installed. When you start take your time, getting in a hurry will only cause you to lower your quality standards and you will regret it later.

What type of oil to put in a classic vw bug?
The best oil for a VW Beetle is Shell Rotella T 30-weight. This is oil designed for diesel engines. You probably can't get this in Walmart because they only have multigrade Rotella 15W40 (which you can use as a second option) but Autozone and O'Reilly both have it. And before you ask, you almost certainly can't get this at a truck stop--they have 15W40 Rotella, Chevron Delo, Castrol Tection, and Truck Stop Private Label because all the new truck engines use that oil.
The reason for the 30-weight Rotella is it's made to be used in engines that run very hot in normal operation, like the Detroit Diesel 2-stroke engine series. Volkswagen Bug engines also run very hot in normal operation, so this oil is perfect for them.
