Hi, I have a 72' 411 2dr manual shift. Weve had some cold mornings lately and for the last week, when I start the car in the morning, I can hardly shift....its...
... Hi Justin, It is perfectly normal for a manual transmission to be somewhat hard to shift when it's really cold. The oil used for manual transmissions is...
... cold. I agree. Even my '91 GTI is hard to shift on cold mornings, and by "cold" (since i'm in san diego) we're talking overnight temperatures of about 55...
Jens told you how to check the tranny oil and why it makes shifting difficult when it's cold. I'll just add something else: we've had many air-cooled VW's...
... A similar trick I've heard of is put BBQ coals in a metal garbage can lid and get them glowing (no flame though..just glowing red) and kick the lid under...
Hello All, I'm new to this group and am looking for heat exchangers (left and right)in good shape for a 411 or 412. Can anyone help? Thanks a bunch....
You can buy them new from bughaus.com at $65 each. http://www.bughaus.com/type419.htm Nick ... From: Type-4@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Type-4@yahoogroups.com] On...

Hi crowd ! Still there but not writing too often. Reading about your problem, I would start looking how good are contacts at battery terminals. It does not...
Justin: When you are listening for the noise as you describe upon starting pay special attention to the relays behind the fuse block. Another electrical...
So...it turns out the noise had nothing to do with the battery, however my cable wasnt tight on the battery...hence the couple of no starts. Easily solved. The...
I would say that trouble can be starter or solenoide. I suggest this testing. Use a big screwdriver and jump the two large terminals on the solenoide (beware...
... "1974 412 4-door" Lots of sentimental value in this car, but it's time to let it go. It's been sitting for years, getting rougher by the year, but still...
It it were me (and it has been a few times over the years), unless it's a relatively new starter that ended up with a defective solenoid, I'd just get a whole...

I don't know what brick and mortar stores carry them, "Google is your friend", I'd say. They are inserts that can be put into stripped screw holes to restore...
Timeserts are a better buy. Similar to the "casesaver" inserts used on the Type 1 Engine for the case studs, these are a true insert, once locked in place...
... Yes, that looks even better. With all these solutions you just need to make sure the drilling-out portion of the job leaves no shavings inside the case. ...
... Hey, thanks for the info! You know, it occurs to me that perhaps it might be only the bolt that is stripped, not the hole? The bolt turned nicely when I...
