Re-wiring questions
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.
