    Brake bias adjusters or perhaps adjustors for front & rear sway bars, because of the enormous power :lol:

    The left one is for super pursuit mode and the right one for the emergency braking system.

    They're there to increase/reduce the speed at which the chassis rails rot.

    True.
    That's why you asked us, if you wanted a serious answer you'd have asked the question on a Beetle forum :p
     
  13. What is wrong with you people? o_O
    A fella asks a simple question about the most reliable car in the world and all you can do is take the *******.
    They are heater controls (as stated by the 2 sensible people on here) and if your heat exchangers are working correctly and even better, if they're original ones, you're gonna need them there controls otherwise you'll bake or at least get very de-hydrated.
    Beetles. Such fun to drive and the most reliable car ....................in the world.:D

  17. i concur they are heater controls to open or close the vents in the rear seat panel. the heat can be too much at times and driving the m1 tonight in the bay i suddenly missed my very warm bug.

    I was hoping they were pseudo aeroplane throttles for dwarves in the backseat to pretend they were flying.

    Seems a shame now that that isn't what they are.

    Probably cost Germany the war that sort of oversight.

    Have that Hitler and your cronies...
