Real nice 63 bug came in with a rather bad oil leak and the brakes stuck on.

New master cylinder fitted and full brake fluid flush
And found the driveshaft boots where leaking due to the gearbox mounts failing.
Crankshaft seal and flywheel O ring fitted
New mounts fitted and new driveshaft boots
While the engine was out, found the clutch return spring had snapped aswell.

Got it all back together and ready for the summer.

Gearbox mounts seem to be the no1 overlooked replacement part on a beetle. Followed by the master cylinder.

All original low milage type 4 engine not had the tinware off or original clutch or crank shaft seal changed from new. Giving it a much needed once over. Stay tuned to follow the transformation updates.

Amazing bit of kit from PCDparts
This is the entry level 4 pot bolt on upgrade kit we have just fitted to this late baywindow and it really looks the part. As you can see the original calipers and disks only fitted 5 years ago haven't lasted long at all with minimal summer millage this van gets.
Its the perfect upgrade to get you stopping as quick as a newer vehicle.

Quick once over and clean before a road trip,
And some much needed fixes I've not had the time to sort.
New inlet mani boots (as the road side repairs have done what was needed)
New fuel hoses as this one decided to crack while parked up over winter.
And i thought I'd whip the carb open as I've never had a look since owning it, about 10 years of stale parked up winter fuel to clean out, and a seized choke lever (causing the last 3 years of cold start issues)

Always a case of, if its not broke don't fix it, but some times its good to find the time to give it a good clean out. 👌

If you havent already get yourself booked in for the summer for the yearly checks, servicing and tune ups.
🤙🤙🤙

Had this Split come in for valve adjustments and a carb tune up as the 1776 was struggling on hills. Noticed the fuel lines needed replacing as they had seriously perished in a year.

Kadrons stripped, cleaned and readjusted along with an oil change. Engine leak check inspection. Its now pulling up hills like a train again and ready for some sunshine. 🤙👌🤙
