My buddy who is not on the Samba had a main bearing failure on a newer engine that the PO had a local shop build. Time for a rebuild. He was so impressed with the refurbished parts I’ve received from Bill and Volkzbitz for my build. He decided he wanted OEM quality for his 70 bus engine rebuild. Bill came through. My buddy asked me to thank him on the Samba.

Back story. When I was doing my build, I’d get all these OEM parts for my friends to work with. My friends would kind of roll their eyes because they could get aftermarket parts near wholesale prices and make them work just fine. Good for them. They have 25 years of ACVW experience. I don’t. They now want Bills distributors/pumps and properly matched carbs for their cars. Bill and Tim from Volkzbitz are fantastic vendors for our cars.

cant be happier with the 205P distributor Bill sent me. Very nice quality and excellent customer service through emails. Quick and knowledgeable replies on any and all questions.

Thanks you Bill. will be helping a friend get his 77 motor rebuilt this winter and look forward to steering him your way. Cheers. Jay

I found out about Bill on this web site and ordered a fuel pump and distributor from him. Quick turn, reasonable price and can't say enough good things about the quality of his work--fantastic. He follows up with an e-mail with installation tips and additional information that made the install idiot proof. Thanks again, Bill!

My 40HP survivor motor is running great now (after 45+ year hibernation) with Bill's restored fuel pump! Runs smoother and restarts with one revolution with the corrected fuel pump pressure. Thanks, Bill!

I wanted to change out the fuel pump on my 1971 beetle 1600dp so I started my research here on TheSamba and I kept coming up with the same result, talk with Bill he’s the best.
I emailed Bill with my questions and he responded quickly with answers and recommendations. He is extremely knowledgeable and very attentive.
I ordered a square top Pierburg Fuel Pump and mentioned that I needed it as soon as possible, and in typical Bill fashion he shipped it out immediately and I received it in just a few day here in New Hampshire.
All I can say is I was extremely Impressed with the quality of the pump, it was better than I could have ever imagined. The install was quick and easy. I used only one gasket to start with (that was all I ended up needing) as outlined in Bills instructions which by the way are very thorough..
The Pierburg Fuel Pump operates Flawlessly...
Bill is an extremely talented Gentleman that I would highly recommend without hesitation. 👍👍👍

I purchased a rebuilt fuel pump from Bill and am very pleased with the quality of the pump and the very helpful instructions he provided. This guy is first class! Thanks, Bill.

I bought a rebuilt fuel pump from Bill. Top notch work and he quickly answered several installation questions that I had. Shipping was quick. Bill’s rebuilt pumps are far superior to the new repro ones that are currently available. Very pleased!

Bill was a total lifesaver - I had my bus all ready for Texas Busfest 2019 when the fuel pump went out the week before - I ordered a new one from Bill who was incredibly helpful in making sure I got the right part, and was ready to go once it arrived.

Thanks to fast shipping it arrived in just a few days - in time for me to bolt it on and take off on a 300 mile round trip to the event less than 30 minutes later - everything worked great

THANKS Bill!

Bill and Tim (Volkzbitz) did a Distributor and Carb combo for my wife’s 74 std bug. If you’ve read my feedback and others. You know they are solid! Some of the best at what they do. If it’s in the budget get the proper parts. Or perhaps save up and get the proper parts. It’s night and day from my Brazilian 009 and H30/31 combo. Which ran “Pretty good” on my failing 1600 DP engine. When it became time to rebuild. I wanted the stupid bug to start and run as it should. This bug runs amazing. Exactly how I wanted it to run. Especially for my wife. Get in cold bug, depress throttle for the choke and go. I can be on a hill at a stop light, let off clutch it pulls away like a modern manual transmission car. No need to pull e-brake to prevent roll back :wink: So if you want stuff to perform as it should. Cry once and do it right. The cost savings buying aftermarket isn’t that great. Yes aftermarket can be made to run “Pretty good” But if you not into “High performance” and just want to enjoy a regular old bug as it should run. Look those two up. Some “High performance” folks could still benefit from having one of Bills distributors. Oh and I installed one of Bills fuel pumps. Sure the Bocar off the shelf pump would have worked but I picked up one of Bills fuel pumps anyways. It wasn’t even intended for an alternator but if you lift off carb a bit. It fits just fine.

I purchased a 205k distributor and Pierburg pump for my '67 Beetle from Bill, and a 30 PICT 1 from Tim at Volkbitz and couldn't be happier. It's nothing short of miraculous that these two can beautifully restore and return these original stock components back into service. Bill and Tim communicate with each other, share tips and techniques and this is invaluable to the stock and original VW community!

I changed from a 009 distributor to the 205k and noticed the difference immediately. The power band is longer and smoother. More to torque on the low and high end, and the slightly tired motor was given a new lease on life. The sound of the engine harmonics are more harmonious! It's clearly a happier motor now!

Bill answered all my questions and offered great tech support. I recommend him highly!

Purchased a rebuilt 034 distributor from Bill. He was incredibly supportive and informative before and after the sale, providing all kinds of tips on install and properly setting the timing. 100% satisfied with the product and the experience!

Better late than never I say!. I finally installed the restored 034 German Bosch SVDA that Bill sent me last year and all I can say is WOW...night and day in performance... Thanks Bill.....You Da Man!

The final touches in the restoration of my '67 Beetle were a restored Pierburg fuel pump and restored 205K distributor from Bill and a self-rebuilt 30 PICT-1 carburetor with new throttle shaft bushings done by Tim at VolkzBitz. Wow! What a difference with correct components. It now runs like it's supposed to. The restored distributor is beautiful and Bill provided installation instructions that made the process easy. The aftermarket fuel pump that my Beetle came to me with was producing 7.5 p.s.i. fuel pressure and causing lots of problems, fixed by the restored Pierburg pump. Bill is prompt and professional in his communication and shipping is quick. I am working on a '71 Karmann Ghia now and will be ordering the correct fuel pump and distributor for it from Bill.

Bill sent me the correct replacement for my double cab after having issues with the Chinese distributor.Works great all is well thanks Bill.

A few months back I purchased a Pierburg square top Fuel Pump from Bill and it was unbelievably restored/ rebuild and It has preformed Flawlessly.

When I decided to replace my Chinese svda distributor the first person I thought of was Bill...
I Ordered and have received the SVDA (034) distributor And let me tell you I wasn’t at all disappointed. The Distributor is fantastic, I am amazed how Bill is able to Restore an item and make it look and preform Like it’s new, it’s obvious his attention to detail is second to none

Thank You Bill, I appreciate all that you have done...

Thank you Bill

Bill just restored a Bosch '019' back to "as-new" condition for me. Expert workmanship throughout, quick turnaround and excellent communication.
This is my second distributor from Bill...count me as a satisfied customer.
