I had this problem and it turned out that there was a recall on that.
1999 VW Beetle Bug built I believe is Puebla, Pue., Mex. (80 miles east from Mexico City)
The keeper gear needs to adjusted or replaced.
There are a few reasons why a 1999 VW Bug will not start. The battery could be dead, the fuel pump may not be working, or the spark plugs may need changed.

if you are talking about the beetle bug there is no timing belt. the cam is run off the crank gear to the cam gear.
You don't because there isn't one. Cam drive on a 1974 Bug is done through a big gear riveted to the end of the cam, that engages a gear on the crank.
The IAT sensor on a 1999 VV Bug is located between the air filter and the throttle body. It is part of the mass air flow sensor.
If your 1999 VW Bug's engine cuts off when it gets hot, you might have an issue with bad gas or with the distributor. Electrical problems will often appear at operating temperature. You could also have an issue with the oxygen sensors.

As fast as its engine will let it. Or about 65mph. Different engines and tires will change this.
If the 71 is a standard then yes it will fit.
