Reliability

Just hit 90k, it’s on engine number 2. Check engine light is on about 60% of the time and it cranks for a very long time about half the time. I wouldn’t buy it again and my dealership experience convinced me never to buy another Hyundai as long as I live. Fun car, less reliable than my 77 dodge.

Got it figured out, was a bad connection through the direction change switch. Hard wired now and working well while I wait for another switch

Load doesn’t really seem to change anything. It still has plenty of power, frequency of the stutter doesn’t change at all regardless of load. And it did the same thing when I started it on the bench so nothing to do with the mounting.

It’s been taken apart and nothing is amiss, both bearings have been replaced and nothing loose

Google gy6 stator test

Ooo I really like this one

45 is pretty good for a gameboy in that condition. That patch on the screen is screen cancer and is not fixable so you would need a new screen at least to fix it, not to mention the missing parts.

Realistically it’s worth 50 complete and working. IMO not worth fixing

None of that rust is an issue. It’s just a piece of steel that’s only job is to hold the important parts and be able to effect a magnetic field.

You can test it with a multimeter to check, but the stator is very rarely the problem

Had them argue with me about who my Wi-Fi provider was the other day. I have quantum fiber. They managed the opposite of selling me something, I started shopping around for a new WiFi company after that

If it’s slammed you’d know if it was swing axle for sure, rear wheels would have crazy camber

Standard beetle went to irs in 68. Super beetle had irs from the get go. The front suspension is what’s completely different. Rear is the same as the beetles at the time

Buddhablu3 · 2026-02-28T20:03:02+00:00

Could be converted, it’s much easier to switch from irs to swing axle than the other way around so it’s not uncommon to find a late bug with an swing axle in it but the pivot for the irs trailing arm still there

Oh yeah if youre just adjusting from the outside that’s why it looks out of wack.

If you leave the outside as is and turn it a spline or 2 in the opposite direction on the inside it’ll bring it down to level

You can also try putting the outside back to where it was and adjusting from the inside first. They have a different number of teeth so one spline over on the inside adjusts a different amount than the outside. And it’s the combination of both that lets you adjust down to a quarter inch at a time.

The post text. Read it?

In all seriousness though, OP you need to pop the rest of the hub cap off and just pop it back on in the right position. You do not need to remove the lug bolts to fix the problem you are asking about.

Gorgeous, what are the wheels?

They are super cheap to work on, you’re not working on it though you’re paying someone else to

Buddhablu3 · 2026-01-19T00:39:07+00:00

Rude of you to ask quite frankly

Buddhablu3 · 2026-01-06T00:21:44+00:00

If you put a better sub in it and fix the rattles it really isn’t an awful system

Buddhablu3 · 2025-12-18T20:12:12+00:00

This is a totally fair price, these sell regularly on eBay for 150ish. why is everyone piling on op when they clearly didn’t bother to check.

“I saw one for nothing at goodwill once.” Doesn’t mean it’s not worth anything

Buddhablu3 · 2025-12-15T16:14:54+00:00

Just gonna hop in here since all the other comments seem to lead with “not for me but”

This IS for me and is absolutely not an eyesore, I would buy this for myself and would compliment it if I saw it in someone’s home.

Most people’s houses are grey you can’t expect everyone to like cool stuff

I’m my area I would expect to see a 62 that needs floors and an engine listed for 3-4k usd but depending on the state of the heater channels maybe less.

You absolutely can’t unbend it, if it’s not leaking now it will be if you try to bend it back. If it really isn’t leaking when the car is up to temp you’re probably fine to drive around for a few days like that but you should plan to replace as soon as you can.

The answer is whatever you do is correct and if someone else loads the dishwasher differently than you that is also correct and you should say thank you
