1971 Volkswagen Beetle Standard review from Bangladesh
"Old is gold"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The generator was my previous problem, at that time it was a DC generator, then I had it changed it for an AC one, now running fine...
Because of poor maintenance, I had to overhaul the engine at 48500 miles... I'm her second owner and I'm taking very good care of her.
General comments?
In my short life of 32 years, I had three cars and the funny thing is that they all were VWs, two of them were Beetles, one was VW Bus D (1984). My brother had also a VW Passat. But my father hated VW Beetles, but now he is convinced it's a very robust car. He still drives a Toyota, but for long journey he prefers my car. My cuteeee.
