up until a few years ago you could buy brand new air cooled bugs in Mexico.
now you can only buy a restored one.
Well for starters, the 'New Beetle' has the engine located in the wrong place. ;-) It's in front, not in back like the original Bugs. Other key differences are that the New Beetle is water vs. air cooled on the older cars. The new model also has many modern day amenities, the classic Bugs were fairly minimalistic in design.
You should buy a new VW Beetle (Mexican 1977-1998) but you should not buy a VW New Beetle. They are the most difficult cars to work on, but they are very cute!!
The 2003 VW Beetles did not use a radiator in their cars. Instead they had air cooled rear engine. Radiators were not used until 2004.
No, all "new generation" beetles have water cooled engines.
What year? The older air-cooled Beetles has at least three tank sizes, and the newer once may have had different sizes as well. Older air cooled models commonly used a 10.5 gallon tank, with larger ones available from the after market. Newer water cooled Golfs and New Beetles tend to have a 14 gallon fuel tank.
If the air is not blowing on a 1998 Volkswagen new beetle an air conditioning component may be malfunctioning. The blower will most likely be the cause and require replacement.
It has an air cooled engine. Early beetles (original - not new beetles) are air cooled - they have a large fan, big cooling fins on the cylinders and a ducting system ("tin" to vw nerds) that direct air around the cylinders to cool the engine. Also an oil cooler ( a mini radiator within part of the tin duct system) that the oil circulates thru.
u buy a new one
Very carefully :)
No, Volkswagen is the name of a leading German car company. The first Volkswagen was the original air-cooled "Beetle" (Käfer), and they became popular in the US in the late 1960's and 1970's. Since 1998, Volkswagen has sold the "new Beetle", as well as models such as the Golf (Rabbit), Jetta, Passat, Scirocco, Tiguan, and Touareg.
Note that nothing from the New Beetle is compatible with the early Beetle. There are some minor differences in the parts for the early Beetles that would take a book to write about. There already is a great book out about the air cooled Beetles called "How To Keep Your Volkswagen Alive" by John Muir. It give great insight into this lengthy subject, check it out!
Air cooled, umm it depends on what type of engine you are talking about, if its a motorcycle it would be 10w-40 made for an air cooled small engine.there really a diff. if its new go 10w-30 older i would say 10w-40 Synthetic
