Sit in the car with the doors closed and unlocked. Then turn the ignition to on and then quickly back to the off position. Repeat this 5 (maybe 8) times in about 10 seconds ending in the on position. If done correctly the doors that have power locks will then lock and unlock. You can now program a key fob by pressing the lock and/or unlock button on you FOB (remote).

Why does 1965 VW beetle backfire through exhaust?
With Beetles backfiring usually means that (usable fuel) is too lean. The gas fails to burn efficiently and the unburned fuel mixture fills the exhaust system. Add a spark and it explodes. This can be from a vacuum leak from the carburetor/intake manifold flange or the manifold where attached to the cylinder head. This can be be from a number of things, these are just the most common.

How do you change spark plugs in a 2003 Nissan Sentra?
you pull the plastic cover off the engine it's 3 10mm blots on it to remove it then...there are four plugs in the valve cover with bolts attached also 10mm...remove those bolts pull the plugs out and then use a deep 5/8 socket or something to that measure and put down in there and remove.
What tires will fit a 2001 new beetle turbo?
The 2001 Beetle Turbo comes factory with two possible tire sizes. The sizes are 205/55-16 or 225/45-17. These are not interchangeable without changing the rims.

Why doesn't a old beetle start after long distances?
I had a problem similar to this. I could be driving on the highway, particularly during the summer, but it could also be on short trips in traffic, etc and then a stop where the motor would start for a second, then quit---
What I found was this...
The motor generates a LOT of heat, and when the car was moving, it cooled the motor very well. When I stopped the car, or came off the highway, since the fan wasn't cooling the hot motor as well, (the fan wasn't moving as fast), or when the motor was stopped (fan off), what was going on was this:
The fuel pump in the beetle is all metal. It was getting so hot that the metal was vaporizing the fuel in the fuel pump. It would hit the pump, turn to a gas, and then the fuel pump couldn't pump the fuel through because it only pumps a liquid, not a gas. I found that I could pour a cup of water (or a coke, if one wasn't handy) on the fuel pump, and the motor would start again pretty quickly. It was cooling the metal down and the fuel would travel through as a liquid again. I messed with this problem on the single port motor I had for years, then finally replaced the stock metal fuel pump with an electric pump that wasn't directly connected to the motor where it could pick up the same amount of heat. Totally corrected my problem.

the problem may be that ur
engine is cooling down too fast after staying warm from driving so long either that or the time u take before starting it could be too long if ur
oil is not being heated propery
cuasing
it too not start just my inference
edit 11/07/2011
I presume you mean, you've driven a long way, pulled up, turned off the engine and in about 5 minutes tried to start it again and nothing happens. I've had this happen to me. Get your timing checked and make sure the oil level is full. that seemed to solve it on my bug.
I assume the the starter solenoid jams with the heat from the engine on a long run as I could get it going again with just a jump start pack, but on a car of this age it could be the starter getting tired, timing issues causing an overheat, low oil causing an overheat, tired battery giving a sagging voltage when asked to turn the engine off
edit 04/04/2013
One of the major issues with vapor lock in VW's
is that people don't know how to prevent it in the first place.
First, check the fuel line where it enters the engine compartment, it runs right along side the no. 3&4 spark plugs side of the motor and is metal. Make sure its not touching ANY other metal, plug wires etc. along that side of the engine.
Second issue, is the fuel pump itself. From the
factory, VW would 'fill' the bottom of the fuel pump base with grease. The grease keeps the fuel pump rod lubricated, AND stops heat from transferring from the engine block to the fuel pump case. Pull your fuel pump off (2-13 mm nuts) turn it upside down, and fill the underside with grease.
Re-install,
and drive away a happier camper!
How do i change the axle boot of a bug?
If it's a swingaxle Bug, they make a kit with a retrofit boot. You cut the old boot off and bolt the new one together around the axle. An IRS Bug requires a pair of circlip pliers and a CV bolt socket. Take the axle out of the car and remove the circlips from the axle. Knock the axle out of the CVs with a big hammer and a drift punch. Throw the old boots away. Clean and repack the CVs, put the boots on the axle, then the CVs on the axle, then the axle back in the car.
How do you reset the computer on a 2000 VW Beetle?
Resetting the computer is easy. Just disconnect the battery. Reprogramming the computer afterwards is the expensive thing. To the best of my knowledge the only way to reprogram your computer is to take it to a VW Authorized Dealer. Normally the vehicle will run if you reset the computer, but emissions, alarm setting, radio can be negatively effected by not reprogrammed.
