Where is the vin on a 1968 vw squareback?
There are two places that it can be located.

How do I replace the starter on a 1974 Volkswagen van?
Acquire starter
disconnect battery
crawl underneath and locate starter, it's on the passenger side of the engine near the transmission.
Remove and mark wires
remove starter,
Replace starter by reversing procedure. If it will still not turn over google a starter relay kit for VWs , install kit to fix problem.
The first thing you need to do, before you go through all that, is to figure out if you really NEED a starter. To do so you'll need a set of jumper cables, a foot of wire with push-ons crimped onto both ends of it and a set of wheelchocks.
Start by putting the car in neutral and chocking the wheels so you don't get run over. Next, remove the center wire from the distributor so the car won't start.
Look at the starter. You'll see where the wires go into it. There are two--a fat one that bolts on (the battery is at the other end of this wire) and a thin one with a push-on on it (the ignition switch is at the other end of this one). Unhook the ignition switch wire and replace it with the foot of wire. Hook a jumper cable between the positive pole on your battery and the bolted-on wire--make sure to not let the clamp touch anything else under there because that would cause unbelievable problems. Then touch the free end of the foot of wire to the side of the jumper clamp. If the starter cranks the engine, it's good.
You next need to narrow down which of the two wires is your problem. You do this by unhooking the jumper cable and touching the free end of the wire going to the bendix prong to the bolt you took the jumper cable clamp off. If the engine cranks, it's the bendix wire. It usually IS the bendix wire, because it has to run all the way from the back of the car to the front, then back to the back, and your car is wired with 34-year-old wire. Wire goes bad, especially when it's in a high-heat condition like...oh, right next to the transmission.
You can fix the wire the right way or the easy way, and both work. The right way is to buy 50 feet of wire and pull two new wires to the front of the car. (This is a heck of a lot easier than it is on a Bug.) The easy way is to stick a foglight relay in there.
A little over three quarts, plus a little to change the oil in the oil bath air cleaner.

How do you wire a klaxon horn?
I used to have a replica on my pickup. All you have to do is have a hot wire that is connected to a aluxary switch to the horn. The horn must have a good mounting for a ground or a ground wire.
How do you fix dashboard lights on a Volkswagen T25?
It's quite easy to do IF you can find spare bulbs. the dash hood is simple to remove. It's clipped on along the edge nearest the windscreen and should lift without difficulty. Underneath this there's a plastic protective sheet and beneath that is the circuit board. the dashboard lights are small bulbs which are attached in housings here. You simply remove them by twisting them 90 degrees and replace with a new bulb. (The bulb casing is hexagonal and you cannot fit a circular one into the same hole, so check that your replacement is exactly the same as the one you removed)
Using overdrive on a 1994 Dodge Camper Van?
USE OVERDRIVE WHEN NOT TOWING , TURN IT OFF IF YOU ARE TOWING OR PULLING A LARGE LOAD
The older style split-window buses used a reduction gear to give the vehicle better torque. The drawback was that this also limited the top speed to somewhere around 55 mph. Most of these older buses have since been converted to eliminate the reduction gears and can easily go 65 to 70 mph.
The later bay-window buses had larger engines and therefore didn't need the reduction gear. These buses can easily manage 70 to 75 mph as long as you're not going uphill.
All vw buses are underpowered to a degree. They are not by any means high-performance vehicles and should not be driven like one. However, some people have retro-fitted 6-cylinder Subaru and even American V8's into them and they have been known to pop wheelies.
Can you put AC in a 79 volkswagen bus?
It would take some serious engineering and parts scrounging and you'd lose performance. Air conditioning was an option in Buses, but it wasn't very popular because VW buses don't have very much power and air conditioning requires engine power to work.
The alternative is the Thermador Swamp Cooler, which you need to see to believe so google that.
Oil in the water expansion tank but no water in engine oil?
Recently I checked my cooler water level, and noticed that there was a layer of oil, I also checked to see if there was any water in the engine Oil, there was non. So i heard from VW, saying that it could be oil cooler, intercooler or the head gaskit.
All answers welcome.
Kind Regards

Can you put gas in the engine oil to clean water out of oil?
Absolutely not. Your oil filter is capable of handling small amounts of water, but failing that, only an oil and oil filter change will suffice to remove larger amounts of water safely. You need to address the problem of how the water came to be in the oil in the first place, however.
Do I have to remove fuel tank to replace fuel pump on a VW T25?
no the tank is under the driver side and the mech pump is on the engine block by the rear right hand side suspension,follow the fuel line back, the easiest thing to do is replace with an electric pump by-passing the mech one and fitting the electric one at least a foot from the tank, this gives it an easy life, wire the positive into a switched live (the coil) the earth straight to the chassis and away you go! remember to leave the mech pump attached so as to avoid oil leaks but bypass it with a new length of l line!!! check for leaks with the engine running as the new pressure will show up any deteriorated fule lines and joins, i would replace all lines connectors and clips to be on the safe side !
Yes. I own a Eurovan Camper and the VIN is an RV VIN.
