I bumped mine off on a snow bank, and found it easy to reinstall

Torx screws and plastic rivits secure the cover guides - I secured them with JB Weld rather than buy new.

Pictures to come

I recently found my 2003 NB has a cabin air filter which I had no idea existed. I will spare the picture of a 14 year old filter and the grunge. I replaced it, and also had to replace the resistor pack for the blower motor FEBI was 16 bucks from FCP, and OEM was 56 - it turns out FEBI makes it for V...

Update - the oil pressure warning went away after a month, even in hot weather. I suspect the combination of pump and cleaning old sensor worked magic. Im still monitoring.

OK - 2002 MV weekender with pop top

Why is there a 20 cm gap in the angle steel holding up the bed on the passenger side, near back?

I assumed it was so that you could remove the rear wheel well cover without lifting the bed, but that isnt happening

?????

And now the oil pressure warning happens at 75F instead of 80F :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I think this whole thing was a faulty oil pressure sensor that VW missed when I took it in. There is no way I have burned out the bottom end on this engine, and with no sludge and new oil pump, Im diagnosing by ex...

We have a guy one hour south of us with two years of backordered split Beetle restorations at 60-75k each.

Thats probably a bare wire finding a short to ground and pulling that high current. Its ugly, but wire tracing is the only solution,

Usual tradeoffs. The hood line is sweet on this car so that the road view is excellent. That means sucky access. Luckily on mine, I have only been into the engine once from below, so that hasn't been necessary. All the replaceable components (alternator, starter, compressor, PS pump) are going on 14...

Update

Juliette is freshly re-oiled and back on the road. No leaks from either the pan or turbo return line. I confess I didn't even renew the turbo line gasket as it is not under any pressure. Will monitor.

Another 900 USD + saved.

I used Permatex oil resistant form a gasket - Ill post SKU Pictures to come This is a nasty, nasty job for one reason. There are two M6 pan screws that are interference and you need a ball end M6 hex driver to get these started, then you have to get a really low profile M6 socket onto them to torque...
