crimp terminals Replacing the complete wiring loom seems the most obvious solution. We have them all in stock for every type of VW. But this is a very drastic job that you will probably only do when a total restoration is at hand. And, is it really always necessary?
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.
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.
replacing ignition points We will discuss how to adjust the gap between the contact points, also known as the contact angle or Dwell angle. Instead of just discussing the adjustment of the contact points, we will replace them with new ones.
Engine overhaul - video 04 removing the distributor drive shaft We want to give extra attention in this video to the position of the distributor drive shaft of the VW Type 1 engines, . If the drive shaft of the distributor is not correctly mounted during the engine overhaul, problems can arise later with the adjustment of the ignition timing. Disassembling the drive shaft is then the only solution.
(dis)assembly of the spark plugs It seems like a simple job, replacing or checking the spark plugs of your VW. Yet we see that it is not always done according to the rules. Spark plugs that are not properly assembled or have been disassembled carelessly can cause a lot of problems with the engine.
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.
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.
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.
