Here are some more information for Volkswagen Super:
After launching a long list of expensive, low volume cars in India, Volkswagen finally brought in the much anticipated Polo in 2010. The hatchback segment constitutes 70% of the Indian market, making the Polo VW's most important car here. This is the 5th generation Polo that was launched globally in 2009. Owners report build quality is top notch and the Polo feels solid enough to handle the abuse meted out by our roads. Overall fit and finish are comparable to more expensive cars. The hatchback wears a classic "VW" body style, and the sporty stance is wide & low.
In particular, the front 3 quarter profile looks stunning. Our reviewers praised the Polo's styling and placed it amongst the best looking hatchbacks in India. The "highline" variant is sold with 185/60 R15 tyres shod on chunky 7 spoke alloy wheels. The interiors focus on functionality rather than form. There isn't any "wow" factor, the design being rather straight-forward. Owners gave full marks to the classy colour combination of black & beige with chrome accents. All parts are well screwed together and make the interiors feel very durable. Quality of parts is amongst the best from the segment, yet there is a fair share of hard plastics (Note: the Skoda Fabia feels distinctly more premium).
A generous greenhouse (glass area) lends an airy ambience to the Polo's interiors. Room at the front is excellent, and the interiors offer generous shoulder room too, but backseat space is limited. Passengers of medium height will just about fit in, albeit the taller will find the backseat cramped. Even rear headroom is at a premium, while the tall floor hump creates a hindrance to the (hopefully occasional) 5th passenger. Cabin space certainly isn't the Polo's selling point. Owners state that the front seats offer excellent long-distance driving support, while the seat compound is superb too. Each Polo variant (including the base) is sold with a rake & reach adjustable steering.
The driving position is fantastic with all controls falling easily to hand and a super all round view. The front seats have a long travel range (fore & aft) and the three spoke steering wheel is meaty to hold. On the flip side, taller drivers will frequently hit their left knee against the center console. Many complaints rolled in about the clutch pedal that is set too high for comfort in bumper to bumper traffic. Also, the high-set dashboard may pose a challenge to shorter drivers in the lower trim levels (sans height adjustable driver's seat). The Polo's interiors have innumerable cubby holes & storage spots, including the XL size glovebox.
In addition, bag hooks on the B Pillar, and inside the boot, were appreciated by our reviewers. Boot space at 280 liters is amongst the largest from this segment. The rear seat of the Comfortline / Highline variants splits into a 60:40 or can entirely fold away for added load flexibility. The air-conditioner received full marks for cooling effectiveness, even in hot Indian summers. VW equips the "Highline" variant with ABS brakes, two front airbags, 15 inch alloy wheels, rake & reach adjustable steering, height-adjustable driver's seat, 4 speaker CD / MP3 stereo, 60:40 split on the rear seat, keyless entry + engine immobilizer, 4 power windows and a rear wiper. However, climate control, electric ORVM adjustment, AUX / USB stereo inputs, auto-locking doors and a driver dead pedal are conspicuous by their absence on the top trim level.

Volkswagen Polo
Volkswagen’s Polo. There’s something just that little bit special about it. Those clever men and women behind such iconic and era defining vehicles as the Beetle and the Golf GTi certainly have a knack for making compact cars. When the air-cooled engine of the beetle became superseded by more modern, water-cooled powerplants, and when the Golf began to grow bloated and put on weight with each successive iteration, the engineers at VW found themselves once again with a supermini-shaped hole and without a supermini-shaped peg to plug it with.
Cue the Polo. Legend has it, marketing chiefs at Volkswagen chose the name ‘Polo’ because, like ‘Golf’, it is a sport widely associated with a social upper-class; and while the original Mk1 Polo may have looked up rather than lived up to those lofty connotations, I can happily inform you that the opposite is in fact true of the current model.
I don’t mean to imply that the new Polo has suddenly appeared, well-built and sophisticated, after so many years of mediocrity within an oversaturated market. Rather, the car before us today is the product of those many years devoted to refining the original car.
That’s not to say that it’s been an entirely plush ride either: the engineers from Wolfsburg seemingly ignored some of basic principles of automotive design and construction when they built their third sub-compact car, however today’s Polo stands testament to both the successes the marque has enjoyed, and also to those failings suffered over the course of its lifetime. From the woeful build quality of the cars first off the production line, to the exhilaration of the record-breaking, supercharged MkII G40 variant; the current car really does feel like it has learned from every lesson.
My first ever experience of driving a car was in a first-generation Polo. I drove figure-eights in a good friends field and in spite of the fact that under my command the universal joint on the steering column failed, we remain friends to this day. Even with my youthful exuberance, I found it hard to find merit in the car. Most people, when asked to recall their first driving experience, talk of the liberty and exhilaration of the experience. I on the other hand, am more likely to mention the cramped interior or the sluggish 1100cc engine. Bear in mind these are the observations of a fifteen year old!
But each time the Polo had a makeover or a revision, the same Volkswagen engineers that had fumbled the ball during the car’s initial production, found ways to make up for their miscalculations. And they kinda over compensated…
The MkII G40 I mentioned earlier displaced just 1300cc but generated 115bhp. It reached 62mph in an impressive 8.1 seconds and could achieve a top speed of 122mph. Since the G40, Polo’s have been quick.
The MkIIIF had an entirely galvanised body and chassis mated with an over-engineered electrics and engine management system. I once installed aftermarket door speakers in a modern Japanese supermini, and the door cards were made of pressed plastic and behind them the door panel itself was made of what appeared to be wafer-thin tin. I did the same to my Polo GTi manufactured in the same year, and the corresponding door card was made out of a super-dense fibreboard with a plastic and fabric external covering and a medium-density foam internal filling to act as a sound dampener. Since the MkIII, Polo’s have been reliable and well built.
And now we’re on the MkIV, which is in fact approaching the end of its production cycle. With the next model scheduled to debut at the Geneva motor show later on this year, I wonder what we’ll say its contribution to the Polo legacy has been. Will we say ’since the MkIV, Polo’s have been economical and environmentally responsible? The Polo BlueMotion would have it so. With a 1.4l diesel engine which returns up to 72mpg while outputting just 99 grams of CO2, it’s certainly possible.
One thing is for sure though, right now, with a new version on the horizon, there are some exceptional deals to be had throughout the current Polo range. From humble beginnings, the current Polo has evolved into a sophisticated and distinguished car.

How hard/long is it to replace a mechanical fuel pump on a 1974 Volkswagen super beetle.?
it has the 1600cc engine.
not sure if it has an alternator or generator.
To replace the mech. fuel pump, remove the fuel hoses, remove the 2 (13mm) nuts,remove the pump from the plastic push-rod guide,leave the push-rod and guide in place, install your replacement pump,install hoses (It is possible to add fuel to the hose feeding the carb,via small funnel and hose above the carb) to add in starting and primming,Hope this helps (Also you have an alternater)......should take 20-30 minutes.
