Answers
1)   I'm not exactly sure, but I have a similar warning symbol on my Rav4 that indicates that one of my tires has low air pressure. - Vincent Evangelista

2)   Possibly a light out on front or rear,e.g brake light bulb. Not 100% sure but would assume VW still under Warranty and may fix for free, also they can get you a new owners manual. - Gary

3)   If it looks like this it is a bulb out indicator: http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a392/blink_amoulthia/warninglight.jpg - gti_4cefed4

Question 2
70 vw 1600cc single port Help////?...  i want to upgrade a 70 vw bus engine 1600cc,single port..
;;;;;;;headers,,,solex prog 2bbl carb,,,87pistons,,,,scat c35 cam,,electronic distb
what else do i nead to have running and not overheat the engine

Answers
1)   First thing you want to do is lose the single-port heads. Nothing else matters if your motor can't breathe. It'd be like you trying to snorkel through a soda straw. Get a good set of dual-ports.
Next: swap to a late-style fan shroud with a larger oil cooler, & keep all your cooling tin intact. The Bus motor normally comes with a -050 distributor, which has a retarded #3 lobe, which helps that cylinder run cooler. Stick with it, or convert it to electronic, rather than buying a complete distributor. DO NOT use a 'power pulley". They make your fan run slower, & thus give poorer cooling.
Last: Make certain your thermostat (Yes, they DO have a 'thermostat': It's a bi-metal bellows-looking thing between the 2 even cylinders with a control rod to the shutters) is in good shape, & your fan shroud shutters are working properly.
I've run up to 1850cc without cooling issues. - schizophreniabeatsdiningalone

2)   VW did not make a 70 single port motor they converted to the 1600 dual port heads in 69,if you have a single port intake the motor is a 1200 or 1300, the 1500 and 1600 had dual port heads,the bore size is different and the stroke is different on the single port heads they have a 64 stroke instead of the 69,with 83mm or 85.5 so check out appletreeautomotive.com or cbperformance.com for heads and pistons and changing you point's dist.to electronic ignition.set of forged slip in 87mm piston set is 395.00 heads cost 286 each,cam is 89.00 go with the 110 cam with straight cut gears,and 69mm counter weight crank with 8 dowel pin's.and have the piece of aluminum welded to the back of the block behind number 3 cylinder for more strength,and run an external oil cooler with a fan can get one from summitracing.com for around 145.00. - KAM

3)   First off, by reading the first line of KAM's answer i know not to read the rest. never made a 1970 1600sp???? WRONG. there was only 1 year for 1600sp and that was 1970. in 1969 they still were running 1500cc single ports.

you dont need anything else. just keep oil in it and make sure the thermostat is working properly and all of the engine tins are in place. make sure its timed right and use 30W oil. thats all - Air-Cooled (o\ ! /o)

Question 3
What does putting a baja kit, and bigger tires, on an older vw bug do to the mileage?...  I'm looking to get an older vw bug, and I'd really love to put a baja kit and a/t tires on it, but I dont want to sacrifice too much mileage. What would adding that do to it?

Answers
1)   That would be pretty sweet! If you stay with the stock tire size it shouldn't change too much at all. But it all depends on the size tire. The bigger you go the less mileage you'll get and the more wear n tear on your drivetrain. But if you re-gear your differential the tires will turn a lot easier for that small motor which in turn will bring back some MPG's. Hope that helps! - Rob Pelletier

2)   Mileage was not all that hot as you have to drive them wide open most of the time. - doane_nut

3)   The body kit might give you more drag, resulting in an insignificant mileage penalty. The oversize tires would hurt more. They give the illusion of having a taller gear in the car, meaning although your revs are lower at 60, the engine is actually working harder to maintain speed.
Better idea? Stick with tires the same diameter, but are wider & look more aggressive. With the suspension raised, the effect is pretty cool. I actually had a set of H-70-15 (225-70R-15) belted snows on Centerlines on the back of mine for the winter. I run 245-60's in the summer. - schizophreniabeatsdiningalone

Question 4
how many cars has Volkswagen sold?...  

Answers
1)   well they sold about 22,000,000 air-cooled Beetle's alone. so a fair guess would be 35,000,000 to 40,000,000+ - Air-Cooled (o\ ! /o)

2)   Today, this month, this year, since the company started building cars? North America, worldwide?

If it's that general, I'll go for all sales across all models and guess upwards of 30 million. - Chris
