Hi

I wonder if you left the oil seal runner out, it fits up against the flange end.

I did some tear down the other night.
I'm not missing any peices, but the play is still there. We've come to the conclusion that the bug bearings are narrower then the porsche ones (I think, can someone back this up?) So I need to eather get a spacer or get the 944 bearings and press them into the hubs.

When it came down to it, the spindle was comming to far in on the axle shaft by about 2.3mm, so the rotor was hitting the backing plate.

Here I have two photos to help.





Has anyones else had this issue?

well it hard to tell in your pic if its the alum arm or the steel ones. If its the steel arms there is no difference in the bearing Porsche uses the vw part number 113-501-283 same as irs bugs if you have the alum arms then its a different bearing altogether 999-053-020-01.

Hi

All the part numbers for bearings, spacers and seals are all VW numbers.

I wonder why they have different thickness bearing lock rings?

Gents,

I have a sorta related questions... Does VW make the equivalent of PET files for the superbeetle? With the exploded diagrams and part numbers? If so how do I go about purchasing or acquiring..

Thanks and sorry to barge in on the thread.

yes they do its called ETKA and its a dealer program and can not be purchased . and it comes with a special hardlock you plug into your pc to make it work. There are some crack versions running around.Not sure how well they work.

but there is a program by etos the you can buy. here is a link http://www.epcatalogs.com/ETOS0307.html the problem is most of the part number for the older car say NLA but the pics are still there.

Hi

That shimming with circlip is interesting, I wonder if VW did the same thing.

I had ETKA running on my computer when I was running Windows 98, I haven't bee able to get it running with XP. It worked fine.

Try this site for exploded views http://www.oldbeetle.com/pcat/epc.html

Thread hijack at its finest

I found these on Kijiji the other day and I started to make a pants-tent.




If I had the money.. Shoot, if I had the money the car would have been done 4 years ago! haha.

Cool build, I would have never seen it if you hadn't updated it.
I know it is a bit off topic but I would like to know more about the Passat steering column.
Does this add anything to your bug like tilting the wheel or is it just looks?
