Another new Bug owner (with some questions)

Hi all - I'm a proud new 1971 Superbug owner!

I was lucky enough to pick my new machine up at Nambucca heads to coincide with the Valla Beach VW spectacular.

Photos of the event here: http://gallery.me.com/alexwilkins (My bug is the orange one right at the bottom).

Now questions (might be better to put these in the tech forum): I have the dreaded stall while idling / flat spot that some VWs get that I think is due to a Distributor or Carburetor issue. I'd really like to get this checked out - can anyone recommend me a mechanic that knows their stuff? I live on the North shore - am happy to go a bit further to get quality service, but the only places I can find are at Kingswood or Kirrawee!

In any case I'm loving driving around (apart from stalling!) and have been teaching myself to double-clutch / heel toe (Ive been driving an auto for 8 years). Fun times.

Thanks for any and all welcomes / advice in advance!

TT. 😎

Welcome aboard mate!

Im sure someone from your area will be able to help you out. We are a friendly bunch in here! 🙂

Put Your location up so We know where you are..

North shore ?? where

what state??

that is a 1302s superbug

check out all the VW advertisers in the VWA magazine
there may be someone near You

I'd recommend NOT going to anyone
until You get a recommendation from someone on Here..

its better for you to learn how to fix a VWs little problems
than to go to a "normal" mechanic...

Welcome to the VW family..
I was at Nambucca Heads and Valla on Sat & Sunday..

PS: Any pics of your car?

give Vintage a call there in Campsie just off the M5 9789-1777

just a trip down the harbour tunnel

Thanks all!

Sorry - in true Sydneysider style I assumed everyone knew where I was talking about! I live up near Hornsby in the north of Sydney.

Lee: Here are a couple of piccy's from the gallery I posted. Did you go to the market at all? My uncle had a big book stall running in the corner.

G-day!! Welcome aboard!! 😂 I know Hornsby...❗ And l know your car!! I live in Berowra Heights mate!! 📝 I reckon l know a good mechanic... Every-one at Berowra Car Care knows about cars... Have never met a car they can't fix... Including my Bug. It used to stall too. 🙁

Good luck with your Dub. 😁

Nice little car you've got there. There's a few of us up your way. I'm at Normo and I get up to Berowra quite often, and Craig who's on here too is around Hornsby also.

Ha! Yours is the Blue super with the white wheelarch? I guess I might take it up to John to have a look at then.

oh and P.s. Those new speedbumps are HELL on my suspension. Yuck.

Car looks nice and tidy.

So have you had your car fixed since august 12th? Cheers from another bug.
