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 - dynamic In this edition, we will adjust the ignition with the engine running, this is called a dynamic measurement. VW advises in its workshop manuals this way of adjusting all air-cooled VWs from August 1970 onwards. The static adjustment with a test bulb is then only suitable for a temporary engine adjustment on these young Volkswagens.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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 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.
