No wonder U are dazed and confused... That was a terrible photo...... A Poor defenceless.... hurt no one..... split window Bus... I hope I never see something like that ever again..... I'm just going out to check My Fire Extinguisher... or 2 or 3.... If You need One Fire Extinguisher for a Beetle then You need at least two for a Kombi - Bus - etc... I wonder if it was repaired or taken to the US Junk Yard or UK Breakers .... I hope so.
I Hate R.I.P. 😀:o😀:puke

I was experiencing an overheating problem some time ago, and had I not located the cause of the problem as soon as I did, I could easily have fried my engine. :cry

Check your firewalls!!! Mine was slightly bubbling off the wall, and the air suction was pulling at the bubble, hindering air intake for cooling. :thumb

Is that an Air Con compressor on your photo there ? Is that a carbied motor too ? (cant see the carby in all that gear....)

What is it ?

Sorry 68 didn't mean to upset you, mate.
Good call on the fire extinguishers tho. Been a bit of talk about that on this forum lately.
An extinguisher was one of the first things I put on the oval when I first got it.

Well Bel has new firewalls and we have a fire extinguisher. Fingers crossed nothing like that ever happens though

Hmm.

What price would a decent extinguisher cost ?
I'm assuming more than the $20 aerosol can type currently looking after betsie.
Poor Wombat hasn't got any ?
Must attend to this.

I was just thinking about poor Dr L. I'd better go out tomorrow:thumb

Best way to stop that is to clamp and safety wire all the fuel pressure hoses especially in and out of the fuel pump and into the carbie.
