Hey all im after a wiring loom for a 70 beetle, ive seen a few online but im not sure which is the one i need. I found one on ebay from america. Is there any difference between one for a lhd or rhd one? Or are they universal?. Also what is a good site to buy one from? Im seeing alot of negative reviews on some pages. Any help would be appreciated.

if you dont want original and want a decent, proper harness with lots of accessories then go with EZ wiring looms, I've used them many times and love them... easy to fit cheap and with blade fuses...

Don't buy a LHD loom. It will have to be modified.

What is wrong with the original?

I read it on samba, so it must be correct.

Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!😂

The cars wiring has been chopped and changed all over and not done right, alot of the wires are kinked or the sheath is broken and exposing the wires. Its a bit of a fire hazard. I replaced the fuses and theres no life at all to the indicators. Im gonna have another look today at what else i gotto try fix/replace

Have you checked the other sides - the earth?

Are you using a multi meter or just seeing if the indicators work?

Try to get a second hand original first. I have never seen a good replacement VW loom.
