Re: 412le help pls look

You need to put that on Facebook, I brought mine off here last year, 412LE,
Got it on the road now,
There was a 412 LE on gid it 12k,
So the thing is how much will someone pay for it
I know how much wireless paid for his,
If I sold my beetle I'd have it :)

412 brake calipers,

Hi I think the calipers on my 412 could do with a overhaul,
Is there a kit available,
Or alternative calipers available,
Wireless said there's a thread on here, but I can't find it,
Cheers

petrol sender unit

As I've manage to get the clock out of the dash and replace about 4 dash lights, I've still no joy with the petrol gauge, I feel the sender unit may be kaput,
I've seen type 2 and type 1 splitty ones for sale, would one of these do.
Taking note the type 2 is twice as much as the splitty one, :(

clutch cylinder bleeding

Clutch adjustment, the clutch has gone slack on my type 4, with a bit of investigation I see its a hydraulic one, so can anyone tell me were is the filling tank for it, as there is one in the front which I assume is for the brakes, as I have bled and topped the one up.

Re: Fan belt issues

There is supposed to be a Allen key bolt in the top and you need to loosen the bottom bolt, I found hitting the Allen key bolt (a nut head on mine) took up the tension I tightened the 2 up jobs a good UN.
