VW New Beetle

Just peel out and see which tires spin! I'll save you the wear on your tires, it's front wheel drive.

I have a 1970 beetle that needs a radio. It looks like it was removed from the inside of the bonnet. The wiring is still under the bonnet. Is your radio broken and are you interested in selling the radio or do you know where I can find a vintage radio for my beetle. I have had no luck for several years. s

Buy the Haynes manual for the car. It has a wiring schematic that can guide you. If a complete re-wire is required by a pre-made wire harness, many VW restorers caryy them , try www.cip1.com they may carry it. Then follow the harness directions.

At least $8500 if in good condition.

The 1969 engine is a 1500--the only year that engine was offered in the US.

When you rebuiild one, it becomes a 1600 because only the stroke is different and it's not THAT much different.

There are several things that can cause your manual transmission not to shift out of first gear or reverse. The most common cause is a broken shifting fork.

yes, that's why it is an ANTI-THEFT system. You must stand outside the car, use the key in the driver's door and lock the car, then unlock the car. This should reset the alarm and allow for starting the car.

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.

I don't know how many it "should" be turning, but my 2001 Turbo Beetle turns about 3,100-3,200 rpm at 70 mph, assuming of course that it is in fifth gear. I have a 2.0 liter, 2001 VW Beetle and I thought I saw yesterday mine ran at about 3500-4000 rpm

Get a flat head screwdriver and pop it off...then replace the bulb

go into any search engine. type "electric diagram" for the car. click on the images tab and you will have to do some fishing. unfortunately, you have to have some knowledge of electrical schematics. i hope this helps.

Take the intake tube off the intake plenum/mass air flow sensor box and put it out of the way. Then remove the two bolts that hold the plate on top of the valve cover off which will expose the coil packs. Unplug the coil packs very carefully and then gently pull straight up on each coil and the plugs will be exposed. ou will need a 10" extension to reach all the way down in the tube to get the plugs out. BE VERY CAREFUL HERE AND ONLY DO THIS WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD, DO NOT DO IT WHEN THE ENGINE IS EVEN SLIGHTLY WARM, COLD, COLD, COLD! You SHOULD replace the spark plug boots when you replace the spark plugs. The boots are the rubber parts that are attached to the coil packs that cover the the top of the spark plugs. This should be done as the extreme conditions these rubber part endure cause them to weaken and when they are pulled out they sometimes get a small pinhole in them and then the spark is sent out the pinhole to the spark plug tube and you will have a rough idle, low performance and likely a check engine light. When reinstalling the coil packs press them down firmly and sort of "wiggle" them down till they are seated firmly on the plug. Use an ANTI-SEIZE on the spark plugs so that they will not get stuck in the heads which will cause expensive damage to the headss the next time you want to replace the plugs. Carefully clean the top of the valve covers where the plates that go over the coil packs come into contact with the valve covers and make sure that the gaskets on the plates are clean and still pliable....The rear of each plate has a half round opening to allow the wire harness for the coil packs to come through. Pay close attention to this area upon reinstallation so that they seal properly around the wire harnesses.

The front turn signals on my 2002 Beetle Turbo S can be popped out by carefully inserting a flat screw driver on inside the lower edge and pressing down on the metal spring clip that holds the signal lamp assembly in. It will then pivit up and out. It's pretty simple, but be careful not to scratch your paint.

the glow plug relay can be found in the super rapist tard section of your beetle

The check engine light (service engine soon) comes on and stays on when a problem is detected by the self diagnosis system of your vehicle. Generally, the problem is in the emissions or something that is affecting the effectiveness of the emissions, but other causes can trigger the light to come on, too. To determine the cause, the vehicle will need to be taken to a parts store or a shop that has an OBD2 scanner, or for 1995 and earlier models, an OBD1 scanner, While a scanner will not give you the magic answer, it will give you a code that narrows down the problem area.

Unless the entire gauge cluster was replaced with one out of another car, I would have to say the gauge is faulty. Is the car named "Christine" by chance?

worn out kingpins, or as they are now called ball joints will cause this. so will a bent tie rod

Not being torqued in the right sequence when the engine was serviced.

The 2006 VW Beetle fuse box can be found in the engine compartment. The fuse box will be on the back side of the battery box.

Price this part out at any GM dealer and ask them to print out a picture of the part which will show you the location of it on your engine. This is a free service. Mark
