VW New Beetle

I just love this kind of question.............

The car will hold about the same amount of oil as you get out of it. Many factors determine how completely the oil flows out when drained. The drain plug is at the back of the pan, so naturally more oil drains out in a slight "nose up" attitude, oil temperature determines on how much oil comes out, the hotter the oil, the easier it flows out.

Generally, with a filter change, you would install 3 and 3/4 liters of oil after a drain, you would then start your car up, and run it until the oil light goes out, let it sit a minute, then check the dipstick, and add as necessary.

Turbo cars hold usually an extra liter, but the above instructions will work for you.

-----------^"Raveeen's answer is rediculous.

You should check the owners manual for the oil capacity, the 1990 subaru legacy 2.2 will hold 4.5 quarts of oil. I do not recommend putting as much in as you get out as the previous/above poster stated because if you car burns/leaks oil (which older subarus tend to do) then you will end up starving the engine of oil which would be detrimental. And to say turbo cars hold usually an extra liter is not sufficient. You should always check the owners manual or another reliable source. If you have questions, dont rely on the internet (even this post). Check for yourself, call the dealership or order a legitimate owners manual.

Unless you plan on replacing your radio,you have to take it to the dealership. This is for preventing theft.

A stock GMC Typhoon is governed by the ECU and will not exceed 124 MPH.

Check the cars ignition coil and crank sensor. Either of these could be overheating and causing the car to not start until it sits for a while.

All you need to do is simply unscrew the cable from the speedometer. It should be on the right hand side on the back. The cable is routed from the trunk through the wheel well to the right front wheel. Take the hubcap off. Next, take the c-clip that is on the end of the speedo cable coming through the dust cap. Now you should be able to pull it from the back side of the brake backing plate. Guide it through the "bracket" and pull it into the trunk. There, it should be free!

The height of the 2014 Volkswagen Beetle-Convertible is 4 ft. 10 in. (58 in.).

The engine is rear mounted and the boot is at the front on the older classic Beetles. The New Beetles have the engine in the front and the boot (trunk) in the back.

It means: "Read the owners manual" The manual will give a diagram or list of which fuse is for what.

Your timing is off--WAY too retarded. How to fix: You already did the tuneup thing. You got the points set to 0.016" and the plugs--always Bosch Supers please--to 0.028" (they come out of the factory set to that, but check them before screwing them in) so now dig out your dwell/tach and your timing light, and a 10mm socket on a long extension. Find the timing mark--a notch filed into the rim of the crankshaft pulley--and paint it white so it's easy to see. White-Out works. Warm your car up, and then... set the idle to about 1000rpm and turn the engine off. hook up the timing light...red clip to a source of power, black clip to a known ground, spark sensor clip around #1 spark plug wire. start the engine loosen the distributor clamp, but BE CAREFUL!!! The fan belt is right there! pull the trigger on the timing light and point it at the crankshaft pulley. slowly rotate the distributor until the timing mark on the pulley aligns with the seam in the engine case. If it goes the wrong way, turn the distributor the other way until it lines up. Then tighten the distributor clamp, turn off the engine, unhook and stow everything, and you're done. The actual timing is 5 degrees before top dead center, but VW was nice and offset the mark for you so you wouldn't have to estimate anything. If you've got a pulley with a degree wheel on it, the engine turns clockwise so the 5 degree mark you want is the one to the right of zero. Plug wires hooked up incorrectly.

The Beetle exhaust system is prone to leaks.....any air entering the exhaust will cause back-fire pop on the over run...ie: coming off the throttle at highway speeds.

About the timing...do NOT use a 009 Bosch distributor. Use the factory distributor with vacuum advance that takes the Bosch 044 points set. If you have dual carbs just leave vacuum unhooked on the distributor..

Set timing for 30 to 33 degrees BTDC at 4000 rpm with no vacuum hooked up if this is a stock motor. If it has had the compression ratio reduced or hemi cut heads, use 36 BTDC as timing.. On a stock pulley, the DENT in the edge rolled lip next to the block is TDC and the sharp edged notches are 7.5 and 5 btdc. Case center parting line is TDC reference. If you have dual carbs with no vacuum ports you can't use a vacuum-advance distributor. The spark has to advance as you accelerate, and if you unhook the only advance mechanism your distributor has, your car will run horribly. If you've got a single carb, you can use the "single vacuum dual advance" distributor aircooled.net sells; this is a Bosch 009 with an added vacuum advance can, and it works well. If you have a carb that doesn't have a vacuum port, you need something that's centrifugal-only. Either a 009, a Mallory or an MSD.

yes its under a plastic cap which is under a bigger plastic cap under the winshield on the left side by the defroster

It was VW's answer to the USA's crash test requirements. VW stretched the front end a couple of feet, changed the steering wheel shaft, strut type suspension, etc., to meet the new requirements and to add a few refinements.

Should be a screw at the side of the jack body Make sure piston is in collapsed position and fill with hydraulic jack oil to this level

Check at the end of lower radiator hose.

Well I've been studing and the long Horn Beetle came to America in 1960's

auto or man? auto change trans filter and add new trans fluid I'd use lucis trans fluid. cable could be streached

on top of battery

Yes you can by using a 2 to 2 1/2 inch spacer. Make sure all the lugs on the spacer will fit deep enough through the wheel an make sure the wheel well is clear by cutting alittle or lifting alittle, its pretty basic to do but i must say the rims wont stick out as far as most people like. the rim will set in alittle more but that's what the adapter will prevent. most spacer/adapters can be bought as new or used at most wheel an tire shops.

It is located in the trunk, on the left side. You cant miss it.

Fixing it depends on what the speedometer is doing. Chances are its making a funny noise and the needle is bouncing around. This would be due to a damaged or unlubricated speedometer cable. It is a cable that spins around in a plastic sheath connected to the back or your speedometer and to your transmission. Often times removing it and filling it with graphite powder will solve the problem. If its severely damaged you can replace it with a new one. If the cable isn't the problem you may have to replace the speedometer itself.

carbon monoxide is created by the combustion of gasoline, this air pollutant eventually collects on the ozone making it thicker. then as sun rays reflect fromthe earth they don't always leave the ozone instead just collecting and making the earth hotter. as a second effect carbon monoxide is a deadly gas unbreathable by humans therefore areas with more cars generally have more hazardous air

Had the same problem with my 2000 grand prix. After much research it was a faulty crankshaft position sensor.

If it's and Old Beetle, it's in the glove compartment on the left side. Should be a handle. If not then hopfully you can see the cable and use a pair of piers and pull on it. Buy a Bently manual for your year bug. It will have directions on how to open it if your cable is broken. NOT FUN..

Yes. That car has an "autostick" transmission. It's a three-speed manual gearbox coupled to an "automatic clutch." Basically, there's a very sensitive switch (a "microswitch") under the shifter. When you put your hand on the shifter, it closes the switch and works the clutch. After you shift and let go of the handle, it lets the clutch out and you can drive. Not only do you shift the car, you have to remember not to let your hand rest on the shift knob...you'll slow down in a hurry and you won' t know why.

#1 on bottom # 4 on top, goes in order from there 1-2-3-4
