5 november 2021 - NEW
Covid loves the cold weather when people are gathering back together inside in living rooms, bars, restaurants…
Poor ventilation gives too high concentrations of carbon dioxide what’s the perfect guide for Covid bacterium floating around in small aerosols…
Belgium is hitting its fourth wave pretty hard.
Thank God to our very high vaccination percentage things will not get bad.
More than likely we can avoid new lockdowns and such.
Wear face masks to protect others, you’re vaccinated to protect others too!
Enough of Covid, here’s BBT’s weekly news, our weekly product update to keep your VW life up and running!
Let’s get started with a spark, or at least a good guidance of your engine sparks with the addition of our NEW Mexican made Bosch ignition wire set.
What’s the difference between all Ignition wire sets?
German Bosch ignition wire sets BBT # 2045-100 are made with copper core and silicone coat.
Our new Mexican Bosch ignition wires presented HERE are made with copper core and original coat.
BBT brand ignition wires BBT # 2045 are made exactly as the Mexican Bosch ignition wire sets, with original coat and a copper core buto come with Bakelite brown color connectors, exactly like original.
We also carry the Beru German made ignition wire sets at a higher price under BBT # 2045-250
All Bosch and Beru ignition wire sets come with black connectors.
Our complete assortment of ignition wires can be found HERE

Original oil drain plugs get often damaged, because of the use of wrong key or unfocused wrenching.
The reason for that is mainly the relatively flat head.
BBT # 1850 is a drain plug with a larger head, even with a magnet inside, try to catch all metal particles swimming around in your oil.
But for a real purist the drain plug has to be EXACTLY like original and here we offer the correct drain plug, with original thin 21mm head without a magnet.
Exactly like your Volkswagen carried when it came from the factory
1850-010 Oil sump plug, OE style non magnetic
Besides the Brazilian Brosol brand 31 PICT carburettor for your 1200 and 1300cc beetles, we now carry also a Chinese 31PICT “eco” version.
