Why does your 1973 super beetle knock when you shut it off?
Because your timing's too retarded. You're probably running REAL hot too.
You can time your engine one of two ways, and you need a timing light for either--the "static" timing light John Muir talks about is no good for a 1600 engine. If you've got the stock pulley you'll find a notch in it. It aligns with the seam in the case--they put in the offset you need because the correct timing is 5 degrees BTDC. If you've got a degree wheel, you want the 0 line to be to the left of the seam.
Once you've done that, reach up to the throttle lever on the carb and jerk it toward you. No I'm not kidding--grab it and give it a hard yank. If the engine has a lag between you yanking and it accelerating, you need to tweak the timing a little.
What kind of coolant goes into 2006 super beetle VW?
The 2006 Volkswagen New Beetle (often referred to as the Super Beetle, though that term traditionally refers to earlier models) typically uses a specific type of coolant known as G12 or G12+, which is a pink or purple ethylene glycol-based antifreeze. It's important to avoid mixing different types of coolants, as this can lead to corrosion or other issues. Always consult the owner's manual for the most accurate specifications and recommendations for your particular vehicle.
Can vw beetle type 1 change from manual to automatic?
Not really. There's a "semiauto" transmission for Beetles, but it's not very reliable, relies on parts you can't get anymore (like the control valve) and the only thing it automates is the clutch.
Volkswagen claims to have made a real automatic transmission for the Bus, but I've never met anyone who's ever seen one.
Basically, if you're going to drive one of these cars you've got to know how to shift.

It's run on air instead of a little electric pump.
There is a tube connected to the spare tire that is filled to about 45 psi, goes to the water tank, then goes to the button, then to the windshield.
Your expected to release the extra air out of the good spare when you have a flat, but then you won't have a windshield washer now that the bad spare is flat.

How do you remove the body from the floor pan of a beetle?
Am assuming this is about the old, air-cooled one. Basically the body shell is bolted to the floor pan, so if you remove the carpeting and rear seat you should be able to see some bolt heads. If you undo these it the body should begin to separate. The body isn't that heavy, four guys can lift it off no trouble - but make sure it's loose before you start straining. Removing the fenders first is a good idea.
