VW New Beetle

inside your trunk behind the rear lights there are two plastic circles that pop out to access the tail lights, once these are out you should be able the push the light out .

i replaced brake pads on vw golf and did not put the clips on the brake pads is it save?

The serpentine belt may have broken. Stop driving it and get that fixed. If you continue to drive it that way you can do severe damage to the engine.

Good Luck

The front tires ( the unpowered ones) lock up first, along with the one rear tire that is not being powered. In most cars, the rear tire with the least traction is the one that gets the power.

2 1/2 to 3 quarts

You mean the top speed? Depending on conditions and how good the thing runs a stock Beetle could do 80-90 mph. Minor modifications can get higher speeds.

On my 2000 xk8 you keep the setting on the first click, this may be the intermittent setting, just leave it there. When you get into your car with rain already on the windshield you must first pull the stalk toward you, it will then re-sense the rain hitting the windshield. Jems

Pull the shifter boot up away from the console, look inside on the left side of the shifter is a yellow lever...start car, foot on brake, you should hear a release solenoid click under the dash, above the brake lever. This solenoid supplies power to the shifter release solenoid(inside the console, left side) push down on the yellow lever while lifting up on the shifter release and the car(?) will be able to be moved into other gear ratios. If you release the yellow lever and push the shifter fwd into PARK it will lock again and will require this manual release each time. The yellow lever is the manual release for the solenoid next to the shifter assembly, left side. Either replace it (don't have part number) or manually bend the upper tab of the solenoid that holds the shift lever in park. It's probably cheaper but perhaps not as safe. I could use the part number if anyone has it....

Bolt Pattern : 5x4.41 in / 5x112mm

no you don't, but it keeps things clean and anything bumpin' the bottom

it is worth it and you can buy the parts (3 parts all together) online and save big bucks, or go to salvage yard, call first

A 2002 Volkswagen Beetle with a 2.0 liter engine should use synthetic oil. The oil weight for this vehicle should be 5w-40 or 5w-30.

The 2.0L 2000 New Beetle takes 4 quarts of oil including what is required to fill a new oil filter. This will put the level right in the center of the shaded region of the dip stick. You could add a bit more to go higher in the shaded region, but since the large bottles mostly are 4 quarts it's convenient just to use that much on an oil change.

Gas engine - 4.4 quarts

The starter is located on the paasenger side of the car, it is to the left of the oil filter. to remove the starter you have to jack the car up and remove it from underneath,remove 2 bolts and it comes rite out

there is a little black switch under the dash on the drivers side youj ust have to feel around a little bit to find it

Yes, all four wheels should be aligned to make sure that they are all rotating on the same plane. If they are not, you can get odd wear patterns on your tires and shorten their lives.

900 or 9000?

It should be cast into the engine block and/or the head.

On the 900, the #1 cylinder is closest to the firewall, #4 is at the front of the car closest to the radiator.

Front wheel drive vehicles have transverse mounted engines so cylinders run in line with front wheel axis.

They are equipped with two, both are oriented in such a manner as to illuminate the roadway directly in front of the vehicle. These head lamps conform to all European, Canadian and US motor vehicle safety regulations.

volkswagen is a automotive company which is based in germany, they make various types of cars such as lupo,golf, polo,tiguan,scirocco,up, phaeton etc

Unless there is an aftermarket hard start relay installed on the car, there shouldn't be one. The starter is attached directly to the ignition switch and the battery.

The spare tire and the windshield washer reservoir, anddue to the age of these vehicles, usually a lot ofthe previous owner's junk.

The gas tank on the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta holds 14.5 gal..

1972 Super Beetles had 4 drum Brakes. I know, since I own one. Richard

Removing a battery from a Beetle is a bit complex and tricky. I just changed the battery in a 2003 2.0 Beetle. However, the process is very similar in a TDI Beetle. You will need more than your standard generic tool set in order to complete this task. Your tool list needs to consist of a pair of pliers (prefer locking type), a # 20 TORX head screwdriver (You will also need this if you ever plan on changing the Beetle's internal dash pollen filter for the A/C. ), a 10 mm and 13 mm sockets, a long extension and a wobble or universal to allow flexibility in tight spaces, an Allen socket for removing the power steering reservoir, and a small adjustable wrench or a 10mm to remove the battery cables. If you are changing the battery you might as well buy a new Air filter since you will need to remove the air box in order to replace the battery. If you do change the air filter you will need a Phillips head screwdriver.

1. Pop the hood.

2. Remove the two 10 mm bolts that hold down the air filter box.

3. Undo the clamp that holds the large tubing to the air box using your pliers. Move the tubing away from the box.

4. Unclip hose attached to the back of the air box near the large hose (under it).

5. remove the small breather hose from the air box.

6. Pull air box up and out.

7. Remove snap on cover from top of battery.

8. Remove small snap on wiring cover from back of the battery covering.

9. Unbolt power steering reservoir (next to battery case).

***Most VWs will go into limp mode after the Battery has been disconnected and re-connected. If you have your original solar charger (large panel from VW with a lighter socket plug) please plug it in and make sure you are in the sunlight before moving to the next step. If you have no way to keep power to the vehicle you will most likely need to go to the dealer to have them reset the computer in the car and your stereo.***

Also, when you hook the battery back to the car the alarm will sound right in your ear. Just leave the key in the door so you can unlock it to turn off the alarm.

10. Disconnect the battery cables. Positive side first.

11. Remove the 13 mm bolt at the base of the battery along with the hold down clamp.

12. Pull the top wiring away from the battery case and then slide the battery towards the engine.

13. Remove the plastic battery case.

14. Remove the battery.

Installation is reverse from this. I will try to post pictures of this procedure on the vwvortex web site. Do a forums search for New Beetle Battery Change. It may take me some time to post them so be patient. This job is longer than that of a typical car but it's not bad. Just remember that the Beetle was designed around a body. everything is jammed in there.

*****On a side note, PLEASE remember to change your timing belt on your Beetle! They need to be changed before 90,000 miles. If the belt breaks it will destroy the engine. We are talking about a $3,000-$4,000 repair job. If you bought your car used and have no history of it being changed, do yourself a favor and change it ASAP!****
