Hello Again. I just came back from Auto Zone auto parts. The parts man there said I should try applying Permatex black rtv sealant to the cracks in my cv boots and let them dry 24 hours.

I cut washer(s) into a "C" shape and just slip them onto the tube just before the bracket, to get that "sag". Try it ! you'll like it.

| Ignition Coil overheats? | 17 Jun 2008 10:18 GMT | 2 |
Is it possible for the ignition coil to overheat? I was driving the other day in a relatively warm temp. I stopped for gas and couldn't start afterwards. When I tried about a 1/2 hr later, it started right up like nothing happened.

| New Hill O' Doom = FAIL | 16 Jun 2008 00:55 GMT | 2 |
I think my daughter may have captured some of our outing on her camera. Stay tuned for updates. Ran into a BIG hill that I knew was back there and tonight the outcome was BIG FAIL. But that's temporary, just like the last Hill O' Doom. I was on street tires

| by-pass oil filters | 15 Jun 2008 13:40 GMT | 6 |
Some of you know I use Franz by-pass filters on my vw's and some other vehicles. They were popular in the 70's and late 60's with adapter hardware for vw engines. They do super job of filtering and use toilet paper for filters so the price is right on using them. Anyway

| looong term ACVW storage | 12 Jun 2008 13:02 GMT | 4 |
Beginning this December I'm going to be storing my 73 Karmann Ghia for the next four to six years. I've asked around a bit and done some online research and I'm getting some conflicting information. I've heard the draining the fuel is good

| grinding on turning | 12 Jun 2008 01:52 GMT | 10 |
When I turn the steering wheel on my '65 Karmann Ghia too far (when leaving a parking spot, for instance), I get a loud tapping/grinding from the front end. Is this symptomatic of something, or normal? Other than not turning the wheel too far, is there something I should do?

| Semi W engine lid on 1961 (UK) | 11 Jun 2008 13:09 GMT | 4 |
Hi all, I have finally managed to get hold of a 1961 Beetle (UK). I am just checking the authenticity of body panels and notice that the 'Semi W' engine lid appears to be like a 1966 (with only part of the top 'W' showing above the light) which I don't think is correct.

| Oil light | 11 Jun 2008 09:26 GMT | 3 |
T3 oil light has never flickered once in the all the time I,ve had her. Gave the engine a wash today to get all the oil off ( annual registration checks in Australia can be a "pain in a@#e" . Had one idiot count the rust spots on the headlight reflectors). For an 1 hour ...
