You could but it would require removal of the back seat and possibly needing longer bolts to accommodate the extra seatbelt thickness where it attaches. It also requires a special tool to remove the seatbelt hold down bolts.
No.
Change them at 60,000 miles according tomanufacturer's recommendations
Seven years or 70,000 miles. Change Tiing belt, tensioner and water pump at the same time.
The original Volkswagen Beetle design did not include seatbelts. One of many relatively minor adjustments to the Volkswagen Beetle over the years (1938 to 2003) was the installation of seat belt mounting locations starting in 1962. Seatbelt mounting holes will need to be drilled in Volkswagen Beetles built prior to 1962.
Yes. They all have timing belts in them. If you loose your timing belt, you will loose your engine.
Volkswagen Beetle cars need to have a 100,000 mile tune up done sometime after the car reaches the 90,000 mile mark. Replacing the timing belt is part of this service. Once the timing belt stops running, the vehicle will not operate and the belt will need to be replaced. It's a big job and somewhat costly. I had a Beetle and had the service done before the belt broke.
Remove the alternator and tension belt. Don't unhook any wires if you can help it. You will then see the Themostat. Unscrew insert the new one with the gasket and place back. My husband did mine today and it is not an easy task!!!

Some of the warning lights available on the VW Beetle 2001 include a low fuel warning and a seat belt warning. Some other common ones include over-heating engines and the need for an oil top-up.
Simple answer is yes. The water pump is driven by the timing belt. P.S if you are not sure on how to do this job then pay a reputable workshop. You can bend cylinder head valves if you replace the timing belt incorrectly and then you are talking thousands to repair your car! Steve:-)
The water pump is driven from the timing belt on all 4cyl new beetles. The serpentine belt only drives the A/C compressor, Alternator, and Power steering pump. The water pump also come with plastic impellers that are prone to failure and can cause stange overheating issues...
