Elle the 1964 beetle // Oil leaks part 1

[@briansk8salot67]

That’s a nice looking beetle, Lucky to find an old one so original

[@VickiMorrison-dy8zv]

No swearing aunty claire, love kenzie 😅

[@DemopVWgarage]

You tell her Vicki, there's kids watching ;)

[@Claire-Maree]

Love you Mykenzie ❤❤😘😘 auntie claire will watch her naughty words 👀

[@markendee]

Not gonna guess now that I know the motor's pulled down. Great to see the young ones becoming VW people. Need them to keep the passion going.

[@DemopVWgarage]

yep shes apart and waiting for parts ;) It will get the demop treatment too :)

[@PaulRansonArt]

Lovely original car. The obvious checks are for anything loose in the engine tinware. Even a crack in a heat exchanger can make a spitting noise. But the noise sounds like a tappet but comes and goes which is odd. So, checking valve clearances and looking for signed of a bent pushrod or a camshaft loosing its profile. I've seen both over the years causing a similar noise. Lastly a wrist pin but that's a rare failure.

[@DemopVWgarage]

All very good ideas, part 2 coming in 2 weeks with the answer 👍🏽😉

[@VWJawbreaker]

Such a beautiful beetle! Sucks about the noise. Hard to tell from the video but it’s not valve train as it comes and goes. Kinda sounds like a wrist pin or rod bearing. I know you guys will get it sorted out properly 🤙

[@DemopVWgarage]

Part2 coming soon Garry 😁

[@rodneywilliams4024]

As an Aircraft mechanic back in the day , I was horrorfied to see you blokes use a torque wrench to undo the fly wheel nut . You blokes have just qualified for the Rufus Guts award this week. 😢😮😅

[@DemopVWgarage]

@@rodneywilliams4024 😂😂😂 you should see the rattle gun oven boy was going to use😜

[@davemurton736]

Really enjoyed that mate, looking forward to part 2. Elle's crying out for a nice mild 1776 😂

[@AircultBerlin]

Hey mate, Yes, that's exactly how I look when you ruin my present 😂 All joking aside, really a great beetle and good work so far. It happens every now and then that the small seal leaks. The sound could be so many things. We already had a loose screw that made similar noises. Good luck finding it. Greetings Mark Oh yes, such cover images really work...

[@DemopVWgarage]

hahah I couldn't resit putting it up ;) We have pulled the motor down now and are waiting for parts.

[@AircultBerlin]

@ 😎 I'm curious

[@Claire-Maree]

Elle is lucky to know you and oven boy 💜

[@DemopVWgarage]

We need to go for a ride in her when shes all better :)

[@Claire-Maree]

@DemopVWgarage Lara gets first drive 💯

[@stewartbackhouse426]

Bonus, forgot it was Friday! A new Demop video for the holidays

[@HubertusSchaper]

Hi Nic, Nice to see you guys practice first aid help. I'm just waiting for ep 2 Check the noise.Greetings.Hubertus🙏🏻🇳🇴🇳🇱☮🇦🇺

[@DemopVWgarage]

@@HubertusSchaper yes we did find the problem too 😉

[@HubertusSchaper]

@@DemopVWgarage Nice.👍🏻

[@kevinhamling1963]

Hey guys, A great video. Doing a service on your vw this time of year is probably a great idea. Especially if it's been parked up over the winter months. So, thanks for showing how it's done. Happy New Year to everyone ✌️ Peace from Melbourne/Pakenham.

[@whatnowstinky]

Damn thats a nice car!

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

That noise is like a rod bearing, wrist pin. or it can be the fuel pump rod that is worn down. A great video. and happy holiday's.

[@DemopVWgarage]

Part 2 shows the problem 😉😁

[@Colin-rg7gt]

Never thought of it before but along with V W witch British car model hold's the record of longevity of being built with the original design with the only major difference being engen capacity until the manufacturer went bankrupt and the design was bought by another major German manufacturer how for safety had to change the width of the vehicle. Interesting for being a redesign of the previous model of the British industry leader until the late 70's early 80's? Answer of course Mini it's predersesor being the Moris minor/Traveller and later on sporning the Morris/Rover Metro.

[@moragmiller4043]

That noise is a vw bug shouting fix me😂

[@besenzon1]

Team work makes the dream work. There’s a new Carchaeology video of the 54 single cab

[@jamiewalton23]

Great video mate, well jealous of that torque wrench buddy. I'm going to say that rattle is a stuck exhausted inlet valve, might account for the dirty oil. Just saying lols

[@DemopVWgarage]

@@jamiewalton23 thats mate, yeh shes a beauty use it all the time on the transit van and the kombi axle nuts.

[@IAm1InTheIAm]

Oooooo, love a mystery! Was the noise there before you laid your paws on it? If not, im guessing the fan housing needs to be aligned after the R&R....cant wait to find out and learn from the Maestro's ✌️

[@DemopVWgarage]

@@IAm1InTheIAm it was there when claire bought it.

[@nealchristensen2576]

You ask for it you got it !

[@jayzee3143]

I love your accent......New Jersey ? 😂

[@DemopVWgarage]

@@jayzee3143 I can sound more like steve irwin if ya like 😜

[@jayzee3143]

@DemopVWgarage haha , do you know the color code for your 64 ?

[@DemopVWgarage]

@@jayzee3143 No but I’ll find out😉

[@dalewyatt1321]

Looks like it would use more oil than fuel. I hope you were successful in reversing that.

[@DemopVWgarage]

@@dalewyatt1321 part 2 coming soon 😁

[@tommyfoley]

There’s a percussion player in the backseat?

[@stevebishop1161]

Great car! Pity about the tappety tap. The way it comes and goes does sound like a rod bearing to be honest. If it was there all of the time I’d say piston slap.

[@DemopVWgarage]

@@stevebishop1161 part 2 is coming soon on what the problem is 😉👍🏽

[@timsherryb4832]

Fan is rubbing on the shroud. I had this happen a couple times. Fan gets droped or bumped, gets tweaked and then wobbles. The engine sounds fine. Would have had a lot more filings in the oil if it was internal.

[@DemopVWgarage]

Nar we disconnected the belt and the noise was still there, part 2 with the answer is coming up in 2 weeks :)

[@Mikefngarage]

Make sure they are not running it too fast on the highway. that will cause leaks from EVERYWHERE....Builds up crankcase pressure and leaks out of every orifice

[@DemopVWgarage]

Shes off the road now, and motors in half😉

[@markendee]

@@DemopVWgarage Well there's a clue.

[@atomicmellon1712]

I'll go with a wild card and say the noise is a baffle in the muffler that's come unwelded.

[@matthewpeinado2047]

My dad, who is brilliant, thinks the noise is coming from the tailpipes.

[@DemopVWgarage]

hahahaha

[@Hermanwagen]

Head stud?

[@DemopVWgarage]

@@Hermanwagen find out very soon 😉
