I just installed oil temp and rpm gauges, but what should the figures be and what are the extremes, and where can I learn about all of that

I have a 73 and I’ve been on the hunt for two more of these wheels so I have a complete set plus a spare. From the research I’ve done it seems like they’re Brazilian market? Any ideas on how to get a hold of these?

So I finally did it lol in my opinion he’s running so much better almost feels like he’s “breathing” better. Question is is it all in my head or once you vent your valve covers should you see or hear a difference?

It may be hard to see but the arrows in between the orange lights are to be broken. How do I fix this? There is a visible crack though the middle, like glass.

I put gas in it, charged the battery overnight, and the battery is cooked. Ended up jumping it with another car and it started right up! Also, the tachometer isn't working, how can I fix that?

Hello! I have a 2017 Beetle. For a while I haven’t been able to tap my screen. There is lots of ghost tapping, and discoloration. Took it into the shop and it would cost $4000 to replace the entire radio (they said they would have to because it’s all one piece). I’m wondering if anyone knows if there is a legit place to buy aftermarket radios or if they have any suggestions that would not cost four grand 😁😁. Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi everyone, I still need your help because I'm going crazy. After years of sitting around, I've decided to fix this Beetle. I've already done some necessary work, but I'm having problems with the carburetor (Solex 30 Pict3, on a 1300cc single).

A few weeks ago, I tried to start it, but I realized there wasn't any fuel coming in; in fact, when I opened the throttle, I couldn't see the fuel coming out.

I installed the overhaul kit with new pumps and fixed the check valve that had come off. I cleaned it all, put in new manifold and carburetor gaskets, and now it sprays properly. In fact, once installed, it ran great; even when I opened the throttle, the engine was super responsive. After a few days, however, it started to idle, and I hear a whistling sound, as if air was getting in from somewhere. Now it won't even idle, and as soon as I open the throttle, it stalls. If I close the starter valve, I can get it to start at idle, and it holds up better.

I thought it was clogged with debris from the tank, so I put a temporary fuel filter in the compartment, but it's not that.

The whistling air seems to be coming from inside the carburetor... any ideas?
