| Beware BFY obsolete parts | 31 Oct 2008 14:46 GMT | 15 |
To anyone looking for VW parts on the net I do not recommend BFY Obsolete Parts. I have ordered from them several times in the past for my 63 and never had a problem, this time though was a pretty bad experience. Placed an order back in September to rewire my 68, didnt

Now that my '74 standard bug is no longer my daily driver I find myself worrying about something that I noticed a while ago. The engine is a Mexican 1600 with unknown mileage. I am embarassed to say it does not have cooling flaps and the air seal isn't perfect either so I know

I've spent enough time on my daughter's 72 SB. I rebuilt the engine and carb, got it put in place. Adjusted the valves (thanks for the info, mine were WAY off) and carb. Since then, I've had idling issues (comes and goes) a rattle that increases

The thread on Chinese parts reminds me of my former Allstate insurance agent. When I asked why his rates were so high for my Bug he said, "Parts are expensive". I told him I could get a fender for under $50 and he answered, "Well that would be a part made overseas and we aren't
