VW Front disc brakes: part 1 - can of worms!
Переглядів 2202 роки тому
A simple maintenance job becomes a can of worms when I go to replace the brake pads on the 1976 crew cab. In this video I assess the front brakes on a VW bay window van. While the van doesn't have any braking issues, the brakes haven't been looked at in over 8 years so it's time for some maintenance.

VW Replacing the CV boots
Переглядів 2,1 тис.3 роки тому
This week I replace 30 year old CV boots from the early bay. After removing the old drum brakes I planned to replace the CV boots and check the CV joints. Without resistance the job is impossible. Now with the rear brake rebuild done I can finally replace the CV boots. Fortunately the CV joints look good so after a clean up and some fresh grease they can go back onto the van along with a new se...

    Instead of removing the heat riser/intake assembly what would you think of just tapping on the heat riser while still on the vehicle to free up blockage?

    Good thing you caught your mistake when reassembling the CV joints, I was shaking my head when you put the first one back together. But I feel you should have mentioned exactly what you did wrong, then shown how you corrected the issue. Also, I believe the chamfered edge of the inner race should be positioned toward the axle, not toward the case, as it gives the axle just a bit more range of outward pivoting motion without it making contact with the race. Good video, thanks for sharing. 👍

    Thanks for the explanation. The after market header exhaust on my bus and broken at a weld joint and I am trying to decide what type of exhaust to replace it with and leaning towards stock exhaust/heater box. Luckily I still have the duct to the front of the bus and my fan shroud has the air flow ports. Though a sidewinder exhaust just looks cool.

    Thanks for revealing the heating system with the air-cooled Beetle engine. it is new for me and would be a good idea to do some experiments and record the temperatures inside and outside the car-cabin with and without the heat exchange working. What if I live in a hot country! How can I improve air cooling for my Beetle engine only. Do these heaters help cool the engine while traveling? Or will removing it will cool the engine more efficiently? best regards

    This is exactly what I have to do on my '70 beetle. Thanks for this video. Even JBugs video isn't this thorough. I'm by myself with no help, so lifting the fan shroud up and removing the alternator and fan is where I'm at now in this process. I didn't know I had to remove the oil cooler duct stuff. Pulling the engine out is my last resort to remove the intake and heat riser. I'm going from single carb to dual.

    Thanks for this. I have a ‘79 and have looking at the ways to heat the van whilst driving, over winter. I thought ‘why don’t I just get the original system set up correctly?’ But then worried that it might not be very warm, but you’ve assured me that it’s absolutely the best thing to do! 😊

    • @antoniopalmero4063
      @antoniopalmero4063 4 місяці тому

      If it’s working correctly it’s pretty effective, make sure that your heat exchangers are good and not letting exhaust fumes into the cab .😮.
