Super Beetle




My VW 1302 Super Beetle has covered 45,000km from the production this morning, so I have used this as long as 12,000km in total since last Spring. As we know the window washer system in air-cooled VW Beetle is activated by very primitive pressure of spare tire's one. There exists all the time some anxiety on pressure leak leading to void spare tire without enough pressure, so I determined to make the window washer system as a recent automobile designing, application of an electric small motor and a connected vane pump system in addition. The switch to activate the washer is prepared at the right side sealing cap on dashboard shown in the picture.
Electric wiring and tube connections are not yet, this indispensable arrangement would be done tomorrow, as for washer liquid tank, original one would be utilized with a small hole at the top of sealing cap.
According to my concept to keep this kind of an old automobile as one of a geriatric's hobby, try not to change anything as less as possible, the window washer system is one of a checking and inspection item.
I passed the first inspection last year connecting a used hand spray plastic bottle only for the purpose, this is the necessary modification for safety driving, remembering the past 40 years ago I had been a driver of Beetle 1,200 STD, it was a very seldom scenery to use window washer system?
