That’s easier then I thought! Thank you !
Thanks for the video I just bought a kombi here in NZ , great cars
Thanks for the video, do you have a link to the gaskets? I just picked up a 76 that needs an oil change, thanks.
Your videos are GREAT. SO much care, so clear. I love the respect you have for the process and your end user. Two thumbs up. And I am happy to pledge the $1 per month. (And how about throttle cable replacement??) ;-)
+jgfinn3 Hi there, thank you so much for supporting me on Patreon! I really appreciate it mate. Happy to do a video on accelerator cable replacement! What year is your beetle? Cheers, Ricky.
Did the oil change on my 67 bug. I noticed the oil bath air cleaner also drained after draining from the oil drain bolt on the bottom of the engine, after filling up and letting it run and get warm and rechecking the oil, the oil bath air cleaner did not fill back up with oil, so I need to refill myself? Or do I have problem here I need to fix
Very clear and helpful. Hey, but how about a very basic how-to jack up the rear end?
Hi Tomas, check out my channel. There’s an episode that shows how to hack the rear end up and place it on axle stands

Can you do a video as to how to tighten your shifter screws? I have a 68 beetle and its pretty loose even when I go to first gear. This morning I tried going on 3rd gear but there was a rattling/vibrating reaction which at the end didn't let me go to third until I tried it again
Hi there, under the back seat, in the centre of the tunnel there should be an inspection plate held by a screw. Remove the plate and you’ll see the shift coupling. The bushes in it are most likely worn. While you’re watching the coupling, get someone to move the gear stick in and out of gear, and left and right while it’s in neutral, and you should not see any play in the coupling. If you need help replacing it, I can sort a video out no worries, thanks!
Could you do a video on tuning the carb?
+Tony CJ Yep sure can Tony. I'll get that done this week! Cheers
VW Classic Fix you make the video?
Hey my 63 beetle plate doesnt have that 21mm bolt, just the small 10mm bolts.
Some engines don’t have the drain plug so just loosen the 10mm nuts on the sump plate and let the majority of the oil drain. Cheers!
How often should you replace the gaskets?
Everytime
Every time use new paper gaskets and copper washers 👍
did you just used bike oil?
Technically, yes. A Motul 20-W50 mineral oil rich in ZDDP. I’ve been using it for years now.
Full is 2.6 qts or halfway between the marks. Do not add the full 3 qts. Owners manual
as far as oil its your local climate that dictates oil viscosity. here in ohio i only drive it in summer, 30w or 20-50 ok. my buddy had one in alaska it ran on 10w. yeah, 10w. and yeah, stay away from synthetics.
Yep, oil is indeed climate dependent, we don’t often talk about that in places where we have mild winters and hot summers etc.
Mineral oil, all the way! Cheers
Clean around the case before you put a new gasket. That’s why you have leaks !!!
Thanks for your comment 😎
You do know that when working on cars you get your hands banged up...
Banged up hands are the mark of a dedicated VW enthusiast : )
o
your right hand really through me for a loop for a sec
