I know the thread is a few months old but I had similar to this but I had twin 34's . My bus went on a trip to Malvern (50 odd miles) for a vw show , it drove fine there with only a couple of slight engine power grumbles . Park up for the weekend. Then set off home after about 5 mins it kept...

As above they do leak but if your loosing that much oil that wouldn't be the only culprit as it would be everywhere inside you engine bay if it was . As said need to give it a really good clean down and check the common areas like oil cooler , push rods , even the threads on the sump cover you...

Not ideal but I just used some of that metal corrugated hose from exchanger to the metal connector pipe that sits in the hole in tin ware then the stock cardboard pipe from the connector to the fan shroud seemed to work ok . I did try and use one long piece of the foil hose straight from the...

Got 4 X original stock bug wheels going spare . The tyres are are out of the arc so really wouldn't recommend you use them on the rd . They do hold air and the rims are straight but are very tatty and will require a good sand down and re paint . But I'd you need a set of wheels to stand your bug...

Carnt remember if they were the people I got my beetle door cards from but they were a bang on fit and the clip holes lined up perfectly [emoji106] Sent from my SM-J500FN using Tapatalk

I don't know too much about batterys but 54ah should be fine for a starter battery . You don't want to go too high or your charging system will take longer to replace any lost juice in the battery . If you want to upgrade get one with a similar ah but had a higher cca ( cold cranking amps )...

As far as i know a dynamo fuel pump wont clear the alternator so will need swapping out for the slightly angled alternator pump don't forget you will need the shorter push rod aswell to go with the alternator pump 100mm I think, the 108mm dyno pump rod will trash a new alternator pump ...

I've ran a dyno for the last 12 years with no problems aslong as everything is tip top with no earthing problems then stick with the dyno I've also got it hooked up to a 80ah leisure battery. Which only powers interior lights (led's) an average sound system . Always served me well . Unless your...

I had this last year and after loads of faffing turned out to be a dodgy electrode on my new (bosch) spark plugs. Binned them and fitted ngk plugs been fine since . Each to there own but I personally think "new" bosch stuff is pants. Sent from my SM-J500FN using Tapatalk

Yes the spring can be removed but you have to be very careful not to drop it as could drop into the case. Also there are some small shims on the drive in the engine . There shouldn't be much to "clean " down there really as when engines running oil is being fed round there . Also putting the...
