Timing belt is not usually a job you do yourself unless you are somewhat mechanically inclined. A serpentine belt can be changed easily but the timing belt is internal and usually requires the waterpump to be changed as well. My advice is to find some videos on YouTube or a vw forum.

What can you do if your 1999 Beetle reverse lights are not working?

Had the same problem with mine. The dealership told me it was the backup light switch. I had the same problem, as do 99% of VW beetle owners. There was a recall on the Brake Light Switch. Call your dealer and they should change it for free. I did. It worked for a bit, but now i think one of my brake lights is out again.

VW will tell you that the transmission fluid & fuel filter should never be changed. My Service writer @ the dealership says they should bechecked/ changed wth every tuneup.

You should call a Toyota Dealership. I believe the seatbelts are covered via some sort of something. I've had two replaced for free and not at the dealership where the car was purchased.
