Video

This was a very informative video and I liked how thourough you were. Not too many old school VW shops around. I’m currently troubleshooting my 86’ Westy’s dealership installed a/c unit further complicated by an AAZ swap and this helped a lot.

Hey mate having a problem with mine over extending hitting the side of my windshield. Im going to try set the motor as i haven't done that and copy the position of the arm in this video hopefully that fixes my problem. Appreciate the video

Not a desirable model that is in very poor condition.

IIRC in the 70's VW's were supposed to have an oil change every 3000 miles or one year (which ever came first) and a major service at 6000 miles or one year (which ever came first). Compare that to today!

In the UK VW described that design of wheel as Marathon wheels.

In the UK the Plymouth Cricket was the Hillman Avenger. The tail lights are unique.

Nine digit VW part numbers are an example of German ingenuity. In the case of this relay, 133 refers to the model number. A Beetle is a Type 1, so the number starts with a 1. If it were a Type 2 Transporter it woud start with a 2, part number 211 xxx xxx for example. Type 3's would be 311 and Type 4's 411. The three digits increase to illustrate the exact model. The second group, the 919 is a nine because all electrical parts are 9's. Body parts start with an 8. The 431 identifies the part specifically, the relay was a late addition to the model so it's no surprise that it's quite a high number. Sometimes there will be letters after the part number, like an A for example. If the design of 133 919 431 was improved so that it was less likely to fail then the number might be 133 919 431 A. I've seen VW part numbers ending with letter like E or G or more where the part has been refined several times. VW parts for one type were used on different types. Type 4 dashbord instrument clusters were fitted to late Karmann Ghia's so you'd find a 411 part on a Type 1 Karmann Ghia. Parts for Beetles were the most commonly used parts on the other types. This relay for instance would have been fitted to all the other types to operate their fasten seatbelt signs.

I really like your job . My Suzuki doesn't start what must i do?

If you don't want it I'll take it for real!

Fantastic! My problem exactly.

I'm having trouble finding the same switch

These things were engineered to fail. Not cool Honda! Not cool!

NY rusted out

So cool

😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤

Great video- how's the cooling now?

That's TRAMP hairdo you just won first prize

YOU DONT NEED NEW BRAKES YOU GOT ROST IN YOUR ROTAS 😂😂😂

Don't insult cats, please.

Yep, I vote the cat for president😂❤

Those be some nice shiny threads there my friend.

Original air in the tires! 😜😁😀

Mch better looking than Trumb. When it comes to intelligence and common sense the cat wins.❤❤❤❤❤❤

How did that bolt head possibly shear off if it was loose enough for a center punch spring-loaded tool to remove it? Threads look perfect. Anyways a Dremel tool also works and provides a whole bunch of vibration and burrs you a new little starting point.

How are you going to install the replacement bolt ???

nice one. that's experience..............

Great video! After watching this I immediately called my local mechanic and had him do it. I would have ran out of curse words replacing it.

Thank you mate , I've just repairing one

👍

How long would you say it took to do this job?

aww the bestest golfer ever! :hearteyes:

Hi I tried mine and did it twice. The first time I use too much Honda bond I then cleaned it and re tried with much less. It seems okay but I have a question. I'm new to all this. When I leave the car on for a bit and run my finger along the gasket I can what feels like moisture or sweat around the gasket. It doesn't smell like oil and I can't see any leaks. Is this somewhat normal?

Very helpful. Old Ted in AUS

Hi, found you video while trying to figure out a simple answer for my 65 El Camino fuse board. Does the board has a grounding connection? Or to make it more complicated I have a issue with my electric fuel pump. It buzzes louder when I tipping the breaking pedal or push the light on. I think I have a grounding issue somewhere.

Thanks for the video, i have cylindre 3 misfire as well, but after checking with the electrician, i was told that the ignition coil is always branched and it wad very hot, and also the driver in memory responsible for generating signals to ignition coils is not working and need to be changed, i am a beginner driver, can you tell me what is the source of this problem, and if we change the CI (driver) it will not be birned again

Great video thanks

😊

Dimmer switch

What is that 2nd switch on the floor ???

Trying to do this repair now and am having a very difficult time fitting this piece and pointers for finding that hidden hole with it damaging the gaskets i feel like if i cut or sand any more then I'm going to cut them

Hello! I just had this done on my Honda and now it down shifts harder? The servicer does not seem to have a clue. Can you help?

Thanks a lot!! great video.

The same has happened to my VW Tiguan. It was parked outside in the winter under the rain.

ez-pz, thanks for the video to help reinforce how easy this is. Got an OEM alternator for $25 from a used parts place.

Backfire or spitting from ndix carbs means low mixture. Could explain the idle issues. Turn the 2 screws on each cars further out

Thanks for the video. You're a more patient man than me. I think I'll get my mechanic to sort this issue out for me!

Just like C3s.. always go with the chrome

Any spec differences?

Short nose looks better
