Hi Everyone! Today we have something very special! Our friends Jerry and Judy have graciously allowed me to do a yearly service on their prized 1969 Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet “Lemon Drop”. The car had a complete restoration in the early 2000s. VW air-cooled Beetles were designed to be maintained and are quite easy to work on.
A super special thanks to Marcelo Tonella for his shout-out on his amazing VW channel out of Brazil: / marcelotonella
He is a true VW “Whisperer” with the sole of John Muir… I wish I could understand a bit more Portuguese, but it is beautiful to listen to and the videos are very fun to watch. His daughter is behind the camera to bring us a wide verity of VW topics. Check it out!!

Show Heidi e Franny, admiro muito pessoas como vocês e o Marcelo e a Bianca Tonella que mostram como fazer a manutenção do próprio carro em casa de forma simples e sem mistérios, graças ao Mestre Tonella hoje eu consigo manter meus VW´s em dia fazendo eu mesmo todo serviço de mecânica. Parabéns pelo canal e pela forma como fazem os vídeos!!!

@paigeholmes7224 6 лет назад

I recently purchased my dream car, 1963 VW beetle only to find out that I had no mechanical skills at all. But after watching a couple of your videos I’ve been able to get it up and running very nicely. You rock, thanks superstar.

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

Yea! Go Paige!! Sounds to me like you have major skills! :) Franny

@keysersoze1296 4 года назад

It was mentioned in the video, and truly it is a MUST HAVE for all air cooled VW owners, even if you dont turn a wrench. John's humor, anecdotes, and VW knowledge is boundless. If you love your VW you owe it to that love to buy this book. No, I'm not a salesman for the publisher... I just feel so strongly about it. There is not one thing you will ever have to do to your VW that John doesn't cover. Its all in there... I give you the # so you can do your own search & purchase from your favourite vendor. ISBN-13: 978-1566913102

@AndreLuiz-ip3fh 3 года назад

No problem. We all have Heidi and Franny to teach us! Keep trying and trying!

@ronj2110 2 года назад

I've been working on Volkswagen for 45 years and this is 100% the best video I seen also

@da72ma 2 года назад

Made 4 years ago... and still the best maintenance video...

@HeidiandFranny 2 года назад

Wow... It's been for years? Holy cow!

@ncdave4 4 года назад

Been doing this for 40+ years and often wondered why there were no detailed vids that slowly explained the steps for an engine tune and oil change. Thank you ladies... simply and clearly explained.

@ricouk9328 6 лет назад

Hey Franny. Just a quick hello from England. I'm an avid diy mechanic myself, and I always enjoy watching repair videos. I rarely comment on them, but I just wanted to say your 'how to' videos are amongst the best I have ever seen. Not to mention production values better than most television shows. Absolutely awesome job. You deserve 20 times the amount of subscribers than you have at the moment, but keep producing videos of this quality and I've no doubt you and Heidi will get there. You're a natural at this, keep up the unbelievably good work. All the best, Cheers, Rico.

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

Rico, thank you for the comment. It really does keep our channel going. It is helpful to know that what we do and how we do it make a difference for people. I encouraged Franny to start sharing her wealth of knowledge with the world last year, because of all the hours of time and learning she spent working on the car. It is also like she has you right there in the garage with her keeping her company and even giving advice when needed. So, thanks so much for watching and commenting. You are what help make our channel. Heidi

@jackp160 9 месяцев назад

I could not agree more with Rico’s analysis.

@baritonebynight 5 лет назад

I'm so glad that there are folks out there like Franny who knows and loves these cars and helps keep them alive!

@tdm55 6 лет назад

This is hands down, one of the most helpful, well-done, and informative videos on RU-vid. The fact that it's about our glorious VW's is secondary. Thank you for your information and professionalism. My '65 standard bug and I thank you!

@HeidiandFranny 3 года назад

Thank you.

@derrickstephens7256 3 года назад

I’m about two years late on this, but just bought my first bug (‘65) and watching you has given me such a confidence to be able to get in and tackle some of the preventive and upkeep maintenance. Thank you so much for taking the time to walk us new folks through the steps!

@aucklandsadventures Год назад

Engine work has been a major reason why I haven’t bought another Beetle. This video is seriously the best thing I’ve seen in a long time. Well laid out. You talked through each step with so much info in an easy to digest format. Thank you. I feel much better about being able to do the maintenance on these cars.

@mimicuatro971 6 лет назад

The most professional video I've ever seen on the topic! Thank you so much for all this information. I will work with confidence on my beloved Beetle after this video. Congratulations from México. New subscriber.

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

WOW Lemon Drop has a clean engine. People who haven't owned a vintage VW Beetle will be missing nostalgia in their life.

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

They are really special :)

@jatoca4628 2 года назад

All I can say is this is the BEST video I’ve seen regarding all of the maintenance items you performed. I’ve owned and worked on Beetles for over 20-years and still VERY impressed by how thorough you were in your explanations and workmanship. Thank you! FOLLOWING!!!

@eduardoconde7213 3 года назад

Franny I love your videos! I just bought a 73 Beetle and your videos are the best on RU-vid. No cheesy music, no cameras looking at the sky then complaining that the camera is in the wrong place, a clean car and your attention to detail is just perfect. Thank you so much for your videos!

I am an English car mechanic --fantastic tutorial here. I wish I had such a great teacher on English cars 50 years ago when I started working on cars. Again, wonderful job here!!! Chris Maley

@mikegreen5619 3 месяца назад

Still the best video describing how to set the timing. I forget from year to year and return to this video for clear instructions. Though the makers have moved on to sailing videos they've left a lasting mark with their car videos. Maybe they'll return and throw up another vw video for old time sake? Timing info starts at about 46 minutes in. Thanks Y'all!

@HeidiandFranny 3 месяца назад

We are glad you find it useful.

@vulcangs 6 лет назад

Best ignition timing check on RU-vid

@peterjlindley 6 лет назад

This was a great video. It's perfect for the beginner to see the main service points. It's really nice that you have the camera focused on the item being adjusted and that the camera is focused . This is the standard that all repair video's should shoot for. Looking forward to checking out the other vids. I've worked on cars for almost 40 years and I still believe that I can pick up tips that will help out.

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

Yea! Glad you enjoyed it!

@ladyTiger0714 2 года назад

I agree, all your camera angels really make the whole viewing experience well worth it, and definitely help with the learning curb.

Great video! You've got to be one of the bravest and most careful mechanics I've seen- wearing clean clothes, a pearl necklace, and fashionable visor and coming away from a series of maintenance jobs like that unscathed is no small feat!

@carlmartinez2465 5 лет назад

Heidi, you were great. Loved the video and how you explained everything. You de-mystified a lot of the routine maintenance that the home mechanic can do themselves having the right tools. I have that exact set up on my 1970 Ghia. you picked great topics to cover and explained with such detailed and clarity. Keep the videos coming and thank you.

@Happy-Me. 5 лет назад

@hansimgluck4965 4 года назад

I have been doing these maintenance tasks on my own Volkswagen year in and year out for 30 years now -- hard to believe. I know all of this stuff better than I know the back of my own hand. And yet this tutorial was so excellent and so professional that I just couldn't not watch the whole thing. After all these thirty years, I only have one little suggestion: With the oil bath air cleaner, do not set the upper part (filter element) down upside down on its top. The reason (although unlikely) that I was taught as a youngster, is that any loose particles on top of the steel wool could theoretically fall into the top of the "hat" when it's set down upside-down, and might then fall or be drawn into the intake when everything is reassembled. Through all these years, I have always been paranoid about that. What a superb production -- many thanks 😏

@HeidiandFranny 4 года назад

@J.W.W. 6 лет назад

I stopped putting away clean dishes, put on my reading glasses, and stopped the video at 1:17 when I noticed the book!! Thanks for that! I think my copy had a green border, sure wish I had kept it instead of giving it to the new owner of my '74 super beetle when I sold the car way back in '86. Thanks for the memories! Pushing play, back to the video...

@HeidiandFranny 6 лет назад

I hear that from a lot of folks. My book went to my brother when I passed on one of my first Beetles to him. I later fished it out of a stack at a garage sale he was having. I was a bit annoyed so it has been with me ever since ;) The wire bound version is great out in the shop. Jerry (the owner of this car) just found a used copy at a local parts shop. He was all excited! Franny

@tommodica1130 4 года назад

having owned several VWs from the 60s plus friends, I have always raised the front axle up to take weight off. It allows grease to penetrate better. The door hinges need to be oiled by removing the plastic caps and squirting oil into top of hinge. I have seen rusted hinges rip the door skin from being forced. BEST tutorial I have ever seen in 55 years
