Questionfor the assembled intelect.
The rear torsion bars on a beetle. Do they almost meet in the middle of their housing (ie the bit attached to the pan)? I was trying to put the second one back on today and it would not go on as far as required... so far out that I actually popped the cap of the spring plate end, about 30mm.
I am just wondering if the other bar is too far over (No, I haven't taken it all apart again yet)
Anyone???

Yes! they can touch in the middle.

Took a look on the VWDCQINC site, but unfortunately the disection didn't do that bit of the bug. So now that I have undone the side I actually had on and torque'd up right. I have both bars in about evenly. Now to buy a new (well, second hand) replaement for the bit that I broke.

I'm off from this friday so let me know if you need a hand with anything i'm just across the river....even closer if the Moggil ferry is running.
Thanks
but no longer neeed assistance. Got themback together, only thing I have to worry about now is the right torque settings. Got them , but bet I strip a few more bolts 🙁
