My New Aircooled...1969 Semi Auto...

Post by zubz »

Here is the new addition to the family...

1969 Semi Auto...in very good condition.

Check the factory fitted radio.. :) and is in MPH....but yeah...

Just 1 downer though, my cousin lost the key, still checking...any locksmiths on the forum? I dont trust just anybody so would prefer if somebody here could assist....

We managed to start it yesterday though, had some hardcore car enthusiasts when I went to tow it so we managed to start, was not getting gear but thanks to DSHUX who says I must check the solenoid and wires on the gearlever....

I will take clearer and better pics soon, she needs to be ready for the June meet at SAMINT.... :hangloose:

Similar to like a tiptronic or DSG as they call it nowadays...

No clutch but you need to change the gears manually.......hope it makes sense...I am also new to this... :?

Many happy miles to you! :hangloose:

Nice score. :D I had a buddy in the early 90's who had a LHD Auto, after a prang he sold it to another dude who used the mechancals for a trike. :shock:
For what it's worth, ignorance has no limits ......

Yip, the original DSG, all these new cars can go sleep...this is the big daddy of DSG and Tipronic etc....just without the massive power the new cars have.....

Thanks All...

@ Blitz, yeah the color is what made me like this car so much....How do I check the color code?

Managed to get it started even though it has been standing for 3 years, ofcourse used a new battery...However I need the keys or to get a key and also check the automatic changer solenoid....gets gears but does not move so apparently the solenoid and its contacts must be cleaned....

Hope I can get her to move or else.... :evil:

I have a genuine VW Workshop manual for that transmission and related stuff. If you need any specific info, I could scan & email it to you.
