I have a sandrail, 1776 turbo with a swingaxle. The swingaxle has been acting up a bit this year, being difficult to put into reverse (usually it takes a brisk throw of the shifter, plus holding it in place, and eventually it still pops out of reverse). It's also had a few ...

| VW Considering leaving the U.S. Market? | 27 Jul 2007 16:50 GMT | 9 |
Saw this article on Autoblog and it is been on a couple of other sites. Guess that means that there would be no more VWoA. Guess that would put a lot of VWoA lawyers out of work too. Click on link for article and read the comments towards the bottom too.

Posted before, thought probs gone. If I hold the key for a sec or two the starter will enguage most times. Although it is getting more and more reluctant to work this way. Last fall I replaced the ignition switch, but seems to work the same.

I'm driving a 1996 Mexican made Volkswagen 1600i (aircooled of course) and the inside rear view mirror which is sticked to the windscreen in those newer beetles fell off. No problem I thought, made a hole in the roof liner above the windscreen and tried to fix an original interior ...
