The guy who sold me my bug told me it was 12v, I think, he told me a lot of crap like "no rust, engine runs great, windscreen wipers work, petrol guage works...blahdeblah". So how do I confirm that it is 12v?
History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.
Put the terminals of the battery on your tongue, the 12v ones tingle a little more than the 6volt.

Seriously, look at the battery, if it has 3 filler caps it's 6v.

Gee my tongue is sore and I can't get the taste out of my mouth. Do you mean three filler caps in total?

Yep, 12v batterys have 6 cells, 6v ones have 3.
It's possible its a 12v system with a 6v starter left in it, usually can tell if the starter spins like a demon when you turn the key.

If you have a volt meter, just stick it across the terminals of the battery.
Ok, will do once I've got this taste out of my mouth. Thanks for your help.

Alrighty then, if it stays wet I'll have to drive the dreaded Daewoo!! UncleRudi (the car) doesn't like wet weather much and I don't like driving him in wet weather, we have a few leaks.
I will see you tonight.:party

open you decklid and read what it says on the regulator....6v or....12v
that would be the easiest with out pulling back seat up to check battery voltage.
Thanks, I have multiple methods now and the winner is.....
