Oppmerksomhet: Alle norske bestillinger vil bli sendt av Winston VW Veteran AS (Sandnes, Norge),
så fraktkostnader er nå mye lavere og alle lokale avgifter er nå inkludert i prisen. På store karosserideler må det beregnes leveringstid, og høyere Innenlandsfrakt.

the condenser explained The condenser is the most misunderstood part of the motor. What is inside that metal cylindrical part? So, what does this part actually do? Is it really necessary for the proper functioning of the engine? In this article we will limit ourselves to explaining what a capacitor is and what it does, and to measuring and testing the condenser.
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.
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.
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.
vacuum advance Both the vacuum advance and the mechanical advance were used for the VW Beetle, Karmann Ghia, VW Bus, VW Thing, type 3 and type 4. You can't stick a year of manufacture or type of engine on it, both systems do the same thing in the end, they bring forward the ignition time depending on the engine speed.
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.
checking the Dwell angle There are several devices available to dynamically measure the Dwell Angle. These are usually combined devices that measure battery voltage, Dwell Angle and advance. Others can also be used to measure the CO content of exhaust gases.
measuring electric current To measure current, you must interrupt the circuit through which the current flows. The ammeter must be connected in series. Therefore, that a current clamp is a better solution. This type of ammeter does not affect the circuit to be measured, it measures the magnetic field around the conductor (induction principle, see edition 26).
ignition timing - static In air-cooled Volkswagens from August 1970, the notch in the crankshaft pulley is used to dynamically adjust the ignition timing. The static adjustment with the test lamp is then only suitable for temporary adjustment on younger models.
Engine overhaul - video 13 replacing the crank seal During a complete engine overhaul, you will need to replace the crank seal. But replacement may also be necessary, when you discover an oil leak behind the flywheel, which will impair the operation of the clutch. We show in this video how to disassemble and reassemble the crank seal.
