Anyone here have or ever worked on one?

I once saw a video of a man changing the fan belt of a beetle while the engine was running with nothing but a flathead screwdriver and some big fucking testicles.

my dad has t5

lol

how are they to work on?

We talking a classic 16/23 window? or are we talking a Vanagon?



The early air cooled motors are very simple. The bodies are the pain. Lots of trim, hard to find replacements, and large flat panels prove to be a body guy's nightmare.

Early buses demand serious premiums.


Vanagon is still simple, mechanically, it's just the added hassle of finding a nice body that doesn't need work.


They can get pricey once you start working on them.
