Yes, the water was coming out of the corners, I just thought it was the seams. I am going to check them out as soon as I get it home because there was a fair bit of water in there. >> Can the ignition switch part be pulled apart like the bug ones can?

I had the same problem once with one of my beetles, and I was able to fix it by pulling it apart and putting the ball bearing back in the right place. >> The indicator switch does not work in the left direction. > > I think this switch is different from a bug's also, but I'm not sure.

Is there a separate fuse for the left and right directions on the Type 3? I didn't have a close look at the fuse panel, but noticed some fuse wire wrapped around one of the contacts in place of a fuse. >> The muffler looks a bit rusty, but it seems mostly solid, however it is and >> extractor. > OE style mufflers haven't been made in nearly 20 years.
