radio interference Have you ever driven a classic Volkswagen with an original radio or a classic radio, then you have probably ever known the phenomenon "interference". That annoying noise, buzzing, crackling that comes out of your speakers. These disturbances can have different causes, but they can also be remedied.
Engine overhaul - video 05 install the distributor drive shaft This is the continuation of video 04, we are now going to install the distributor drive shaft, both on an already rebuilt Volkswagen Type 1 engine and on a split Type 1 crankcase. We pay a lot of attention to the correct positioning of the drive shaft at the beginning of this video series, because it is crucial to be able to adjust the ignition properly, later, when the engine is overhauled.
testing the coil You can easily check if the electrical voltage in the primary circuit of the coil is correct by using a multimeter. High voltage measurement at the secondary circuit cannot be performed with a standard multimeter.
Engine overhaul - video 08 ignition time of cylinder 1 In this video we will determine the ignition timing of cylinder 1. This mark will be needed to correctly position the distributor drive shaft during assembly, as well as for ignition advance adjustment once the Type 1 Volkswagen engine is rebuilt.
6 volts and 12 volts Until the early 1970s, the VW Beetles were equipped with 6 volts in their 1200 cc version. The 1300 cc Beetle was first equipped with a 12 volt system in 1968. The VW Bus and type 3 VWs were increased to 12 volts in 1967. Types 4 are in 12 volts, as they were only introduced to the market in the late 1960s.
spark plug heat range The construction of the part of the spark plug that is screwed into the cylinder head determines the degree of heat. The spark plugs are screwed into the cylinder head, which is the warmest spot of the engine. Temperatures can be as high as 1000°C. The electrode part of the spark plug extends into the combustion chamber of the cylinder head.
voltage drops The electric consumers of your classic Volkswagen expect the full 6 volts or 12 volts (or more) to function properly, which is unfortunately not always the case. Especially the 6 volt version sometimes complains about slow running windscreen wipers, weak headlights and direction indicators that pinch too slowly.
testing the condenser Without the condenser, the ignition will really not work properly and the contacts will burn in quickly. So it is important to measure at regular intervals if the condenser in your VW motor is still working.
the distributor The intention is that we can adjust the ignition of our classic Volkswagen ourselves. First you have to know which parts have an influence on the operation of the ignition and you have to understand how the ignition circuit works, this is very important to be able to make a good diagnosis and to be able to adjust the ignition later on.
Engine overhaul - video 12 the flywheel In this video, we'll explain how to disassemble and assemble the flywheel, and what tools you'll need to do so. To disassemble the flywheel, you will need to unscrew the gland nut. This nut is attached with a torque of 350 Nm, it will require some force to loosen.
