Please confirm you have a generator and not an alternator. If generator: do you get a charging light when the key is turned on but the car not started? If not you probably have two problems, a burned out bulb and a bad generator or a bad ground. Check your brushes if it is a generator. They should all be taller than the holder they are in like the image below. If they are worn down to where the spring is resting on the holder instead of them...

A good bead blasting and clean up wit get rid of that oxidation. You'll have to have the bore checked out to know for sure if it has another rebuild in it.

So I am finally getting to my first and onlt VDUB. Its a 71 Super. Only rust I can find is the shelf right behind the back seat. Has dents just about everywhere but looks like they should come out pretty easily with minor filler work. Question #1: With the help of a come-a-long and straps to the roof of my garage is it feasible to remove the body by myself? I really just want to clean the ...

Today I did a mock-up of the 72/74 exhaust I'll be swapping my 77 over to: I still have to clean up the mating surfaces, but I'm bascially ready to go. I even have the little flaps to go where the fan shroud meets the exchangers. Now, the muffler is suspect. This muffler has been sitting for a very long time. When I pick it up, there is enough debris inside it sounds ...

Hi there, First I want to say that I am new to both the samba and to air cooled VWs. I have always loved the VW bus and just discovered that my wife also shares my sentiment. That said, about a month ago I purchased a 68 bus and am very excited about fixing it upfor our family to use. When I got it home I really started digging into it and found some serious rust issues with the rear ...
