The 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle, equipped with a 4-cylinder engine producing 60 bhp, has a maximum speed of approximately 85 mph (137 km/h). This speed can vary slightly based on factors such as vehicle condition and weight. The Super Beetle's design focuses more on reliability and efficiency than on high-speed performance.
How much is a 1974 vw super beetle worth?
The value of a 1974 VW Super Beetle can vary widely based on its condition, mileage, and modifications. On average, prices typically range from $5,000 to $15,000, with well-maintained or restored models fetching higher amounts. Rare features or low mileage can increase the value further. For an accurate assessment, it's best to consult classic car pricing guides or recent sales data.
Are all VW Beetles manual transmission?
Most were and some aren't.
Answer #2: In the older classic Beetles most of them were manual transmissions, they also had something called an autostick transmission. You used a clutch to take off but then only had to press a button on the shifter when switching gears instead of pressing in the clutch pedal. The new Beetles can be bought with either automatic or stick shift transmissions, I'm sure the automatic outsells the stick.
How do you turn the brights on in a VW Bug?
For an early SB, pull the turn signal handle towards you. Pull again to turn off. If this doesn't work you either have a bad relay, or the wiring needs troubleshooting.
To turn brights on in a 1974 Super Beetle, step on the floor button on the left.

Where is the wiper relay located on your 1979 Super Beetle?
The wiper relay is located behind the fuse box, third socket from the drivers side. This relay controls the low speed and intermittent functions. It also controls the motor to "park" the wipers down rather than just stopping them. The 1st relay is for the E-flashers and turn signals and the 2nd relay is for the low/high beam headlights.
Can you replace a 1979 beetle engine with a 1974 one?
The answer to this question is yes and no. The 1974 Beetle engine is a carbureted dual port 1600. The 1979 engine has the AFC fuel injection system. This is an air flow control engine with electronic fuel injection. Now here is what I know about all of this. Many people have performed this swap, there are a number of small electrical changes necessary to do the swap, but it is fairly simple and straightforward. The reason that you are not supposed to make this change, is more of a legal or environmental issue. The US EPA has mandated that all motor vehicles meet or exceed certain emissions standards, these standards changed pretty much every year. There were several big "cuts" in allowable emissions, these were for year model 1975, and then again for year model 1980. The cuts in allowable HC emissions for the 1975 models resulted in many car companies changing over to a fuel injection system from the carburetors of old. Quite simply, VW made this change to allow them to meet the 1975 emissions levels. Standard Beetles were manufactured for sale in the USA up through 1977 (I was in high school and working as a mechanic in a VW dealership at the time). The air cooled VW engine soldiered on in the "Super Beetle Convertible" for the US market until production ceased for US market Beetles at the end of 1979. The 1980 emissions standards were simply too tough to meet with an air cooled engine. While in college 1977-1981, I was a member and student section president of our SAE section (Society of Automotive Engineers), and did some extra-curricular stuff with alcohol powered machines for alternative fuels, and emissions, so I got to know quite a bit about all of these laws and mandates. The real answer to this question, is whether or not your particular state tests for emissions on 1979 vehicles. Texas cuts this off for anything made prior to 1980, so you could probably do this in Texas today and get the car licensed inspected and street legal. While technically illegal, still subject to some pretty onerous fines, you would likely get away with it, as the EPA does not spend a whole lot of time going around to check tailpipe emissions on "1979 Bugs", there are just not that many of them out there. On the other hand, other states may have more restrictions on what is allowable for vehicle inspection and licensing.
What is red g light on 1974 super beetle?
That is the "turn your engine off RIGHT NOW and go look at it" light. Officially it's the alternator light; if the alternator stops putting out voltage it comes on. The usual reason VW alternators stop putting out voltage is the drive belt breaks. On the other end of the alternator shaft from the belt is your cooling fan...and as hot as these engines run, if that belt breaks your motor will melt in about a minute.
How does one take out a 1973 VW Super Beetle engine and how long should it take?
If you have a few dollars, buy a good used copy of John Muir's "How to keep your Volkswagen Alive Forever" book. It will cover your basic maintenance and even your engine removal.
Here is an excellent link that describes the operation: http://www.type2.com/library/engineg/kuhn7.htm
I would recommend a separate 220V line with ground default capabilities because the spa has water in it. This is safer and most professional installations include a single separate line. A spa will draw more amperage because of the heating element (if electric heat).
How do you install a stereo into a 1992 Chevy Silverado?
I found help with the color-coded wiring for my 1992 Silverado at the site in the Related Links.
For 1992 k1500
-Remove old radio above Temperate controls.
-Remove Tape deck/vent housing.
-Reach or fish factory wire harness and antenna from where the old radio unit was and bring it to where the old tape deck was.
-Connect the new wire harness and antenna extender to the old one coming from where the tape deck used to be.
-Connect wires from harness to wires on your CD player harness or other unit (usually color coded)
-Connect antenna.
-Turn on make sure everything works.
-Install Pocket above temp controls.
-Install after market vent/CD mount
Done
Basically stereo installation is the same for almost any vehical.
There are 3 main wires you need to worry about in addition to the speaker wires...
Stereo side: -Red = Main 12V supply to radio, gets connected to the red wire. This is switched on/off by the ignition with the key. -Black = Ground wire typically goes to black wire on Car side -Yellow = This is a constand low power 12V connection that keeps presets and time while ignition is off
Car side: Typically the late model cars/trucks have wire harnesses that have molex connectors that fit the factory stereo. You can either go to your local electronics store/stereo store and get a wire harness kit for your make/model. This will plug right into the factory connector and have loos, clearly marked wires out the other side that connect directly to your stereo.
Hope that helps!
i have a 94 and if they are the same then you have to plug the wiring harness into the "brain" below the dash if you are good with pulling wires then it should go fairly smoothly.
red and red together yellow and yellow together speaker wires youre done
This is the same as i just posted for the 1990, they years didnt change
First off, if you want to do it yourself here is a list of what you have to have:
* CD Player
* You need the plastic piece that replaces the vents and small cubby hole in the center of your dash, this will be the new loaction of your CD player, it will have an opening in the where the cubby hole used to be that the CD player will fit in. (can be found at any electronics store)
* Wiring Connector (can be bought at walmart or any car audio store)
* You will also need an antenna adapter (it should come with the wiring connector, but it might not.
- There is a piece that fills the hole of the old stereo that is highly recommended but not required just depends if you care if there is a large gapping hole in your dash
To Install it: 1st reach under the dash and look for a silver (looks almost like an amp) box with a wired plug coming out of the bottom. These are all of the wires that go to your factory stereo. after unplugging it you can easily remove the factory stereo.
Remove the silver box, there is only 1 screw holding it in and it is directly on the bottom. After you remove it, there will be a connector on the top of it which will plug into your Wiring Connector that you should have bought earlier. The antenna wire also plugs into the top of this silver box. After all this the factory stereo should be completely un-installed (no cutting of any wires should have been required)
Next you should take off the piece of plastic that contains the center vents and cubby hole. It is easy to pry with the glove box door open. There are 2 bottom clips that are to be pryed out and the top 2 slide out the bottom. Now you can reroute the set of wires and the antenna wire to the new location of the stereo, this may be kind of tough. Take the Wiring connector you bought and the wiring connector that came with the stereo and crimp all the appropriate wires together using splice connectors and a crimping tool...they should be the same color, but check the instructions that came with the CD player and wiring connector to be sure. After that the connections should slide togethor and the CD player should turn on with the key on. The rest you should be able to figure out since it is only mounting the CD player in the new plastic piece which is very straight forward.
You will have a hole where the factory stereo used to be, stores like crutchfield and other audio shops have a piece that fits in there as a cubby hole.
All of the things needed for this project can be bought at crutchfield.com, you might be able to get all of it from stores like best buy, or walmart. A friend and I just did this last night and we bought everything from walmart, however they didnt have the piece where the old stereo used to be.
How do you install an accelerator cable on a 1976 volkswagen beetle?
The cable is routed through a metal tube made into the center "tunnel" in the floor pan. It also goes through the engine fan housing inside another tube. I would not suggest trying to thread a used cable with a frayed end back through the tube. Get a new cable and consult the Robert Bentley manual for more details.
Is a 1973 super beetle consider a type 1?
Absolutely. Volkswagen Type 1 includes:
standard Beetle (which we didn't get in the US; it was a "fleet car" for people who bought the cheapest thing imaginable)
deluxe Beetle (the version the US received)
Super Beetle
Type 1 Karmann Ghia (there is also a Type 4 KG, but they're very rare)

Where is Cigarette lighter in a 1973 VW Super Beetle?
Radio's and Cigarette lighters were Dealer only options.

What is the firing order for a 1967 volkswagen beetle?
1 4 3 2
1-4-3-2 It should be printed on the front of the engine just below the alternator/generator.
Why won't my VW Beetle shift into 4th gear?
Gearbox may be worn There's two places on the 'shift rod' under the tunnel that wears out. It's probably the shifter 'shift coupler' or the 'shift rod bushing' under the gear shift. Pick up the "Bentley" Bug manual for your year and it will tell you how to do it. Kinduv a pain but still do-able.
What is defrent from a type 1 and a type 2 vw engine?
The Type 1 and Type 2 used the same engine through the 1971 model year. In 1972, the Type 2 received an engine known as the "Type 4" because that's the car it was in first. It's a lot different from the Type 1 engine. It has an aluminum engine case (versus the magnesium case in the Type 1), it's bigger, it's made a lot better, it has an oil filter, the oil cooler is sticking out the side of the engine instead of being on top, the cooling fan is bolted to the end of the crankshaft (advantage: if the fan belt snaps, the engine won't melt) and it weighs a LOT more.
