    I bought this 2000 vw beetle about a year ago, it must've been in an accident previously because the car itself is silver but the driver door was blue. Whoever switched it, didn't put the right door lock on the car so the only way to lock and unlock the car was through the remote. Anyways after...

    Hello I have a 1999 2.0 gls that has multiple misfires and it dies directly after startup unless I keep my foot on the gas and bring it up to about 2,500 RPM.

    I recently changed my timing belt on a 2000 AEG New Beetle that desperately needed a timing service. I bought my parts online from ECS Tuning's timing belt kit, and the installation went smoothly. However, a couple days after the install, my engine suddenly developed a slight squeak / chirping...

    Hi everyone! I just bought a 2002 NB 2.0 GL, yellow, about a week and a half ago. Was very excited to be back in the VW club after last owning a 2008 Rabbit in 2016! However, I think I was lied to about its condition and history 😞 So now I’m experiencing some issues... Occasionally, I’ll try...

    Hello all, I am looking for some expertise on racing mods for a 1999 Beetle 2.0. The rule book is very open in my class, whereas the only engine mod that I am not allowed is a turbo. I've been looking at some racing cams from Tectonics, and I've just run out of knowledge. I know enough to get...

  15. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    Recently changed my timing belt but ran into a hiccup. I couldn’t torque down my tensioner pulley. It just reaches a point where i could turn the nut either way and it didn’t get tighter or looser. I presume something is threaded. I have a few questions around this. So far my timing belt hasn’t...
