I agree 100 % with the info. Thanks for sharing this important info. I drive 50,000 miles a year in my beetle....I drive stock, and I never have problems. Even through death valley and Vegas with it 118 degrees never have trouble. The design of the engine is built to handle extremes. The main thing that caused trouble with people are not driving stock, shifting to early and lugging the engine, and not keeping an eye on there timing being correct. Also with ethanol gas now it's important to open carb jet up to around 1.30 instead of 1.25 that way the engine doesn't run to lean. Thanks for all your do Chris. Great videos!!!!
@@MrMfaust5 Look underneath on the right side above the lower tin, between the heater box and engine case. Looks like a round accordion about 2” dia. and about 2” long with a small rod going up to the flap mechanism in the shroud.
Hi Chris. This is a very informative Video on the Engine Seal. I didn't realize how Crucial it is to have that Seal in place. when i had my engine installed on my 66 Bug, the Shop here in Florida didn't install the Seal. Bummer. But the engine tin on the rear is close to the body.
Hey Chris, have you ever heard of the Type 147 Kleinieferwagen or “Fridolin” made for the German postal service? I just seen an article on Tork US about them.
Do you think the old style seal is better? And, can you use it on a later model instead? I just purchased a new one for my super. I haven't installed it yet but it's always in the way of removing and installing the engine. This 57 you're restoring looks awesome. Just beautiful. Thank you for your videos and sharing.
@@mikes1075 hmmm I used to use a guy in CT, but now I don't think he works on them anymore. I would search on thesamba.com or check with some vintage VW FB groups.

Was thinking for a minute You was back up north. Thermostats should be checked also, many people don’t even know they have them.
Hello, where's the location of the thermostat?
