I am working on a 1974 1641 v.w. engine,i replaced oil strainer gasketsand now cant get nuts srarted back on cover.are there gaskets with different thickness ?

The studs holding the oil strainer and cover may have screwed into the engine block further than required. Back them out of the engine block to increase their lengths.

Need to find reg number

To get the registration, you will need to get ahold of your State motor vehicle department. If the vehicle is registered to you, they should have record of it. They should be able to look up the registration by your name and the VIN number. The reason you can not look up the registration on-line is that the Beetle is old enough it does not use the standard 17 character VIN system that has been in place since the late 70's.

1600 cc beetle

First remove the distributor cap and detach the green wire to the coil. There is a 13 mm nut that holds the clamp to the engine case behind the distributor. Remove it and pull the entire distributor out of the case. Do not drop dirt in... Change the "O" ring and reassemble in the reverse order. The "O'' ring is a VW part and not any "O" ring will work.

VW 1641 Beetle. Weber 32/36 carb jet sizes on a VW 1641?

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Motorcycles. If it didn't backfire before the rebuild, then it wouldn't be the carburetor jets. Check the ignition timing and for inlet manifold leaks, and exhaust leaks. https://www.google.com/search?q=VW+1641+backfires ,,

2013 Beetle convertible door locks click briefly when reaching 10mph. This happens every time the car slows down and then increases speed over 10mph again.

Got it!!! The doors may be locked but the car doesn't think so! The culprit... the gas door lock is sticking!! WD-40 the lock on the gas door and problem solved. Also got a new battery so it could be a voltage surge from a battery going bad.

2003 beetle with ABS and brake light on. What should I do?

so all std brakes are good? pads, rotors and calipers? if not and are bad ABS goes mad, ABS is last to fix, not first OK> abs can not hid for example, a brake caliper piston rusted to ***** after 19 years..old.(and will be that old I say how can it no be so?>) all that and not one DTC posted (ALL) HERE ? amazing this... and when you replace any part here, reset the all DTC now with the scan tool, buy one, you can not fix (diy) modern cars with no tool. or rotor guide pins seized, fix the mechanical brakes first.!!! they all must be good, end to end ,sure a weak pad (a tad) the ABS can hide it. well kinda. (normal wear yes, ugly no) or take the car to a real brake shop and watch them and learn the craft and skills. or take An ASE brake course. nobody here can guess what is wrong or done wrong, that be impossible other than a simple pep talk,.

On vw2004 beetle convertible the a/c just quit. What do I look for ? Also is there a switch up front that goes to compressor?

The compressor clutch uses a lot of current and would be controlled by a relay. Also there is probably a low refrigerant switch in the system that wont allow the compressor to come on if the pressure is too low.

I'm not getting power to my fuel pump in my 2002 Volkswagen Beetle TDI

I know this is going to sound crazy but some VW have a censor in the drivers door so when you open it the fuel pump automatically primes the engine .. Check that . Chuck
