2000 beetle

I recently purchased a 2000 Beetle (2.0l auto) and from what I can tell it never shifts up to 4th gear. When in Drive, it does 80kph at 3000 rpm, 100kph at 4000rpm (or a smidgen under 4000), and 110 at about 4200 rpm. Do those rev counts that sound too high to you? When cruising at 100kph, if...

Hey everyone! I am looking to put a roof rack on my 2000 tdi. What brands/ models have worked for your beetle? Thanks!

It started with the passenger door a month ago, it will only unlock from the inside handle/door latch. Regardless of if it's unlocked with switch or key in driver's door. But after it has been opened from the inside handle, the outside latch will work fine and open the door when closed. Now it...

I am trying to replace my evap canister on my 2000 beetle. There are three mounting screws and the one behind the unit in a really tough spot I can't seem to get to. What have I missed? Do I need to take something else out to get to it? Have removed the tire and inner cover above the tire.

I need to get a whole new engine for my 2000 NB 2.0 5 speed. From what I gather there is options besides one from the exact same vehicle. What are my engine options for easy compatibility?? I have someone who has swapped engines from an '01 beetle before, but he wants me to keep it simple and...

I have a 2000 Beetle TDI and I also have a set of 17 inch winter tires from a previous car. The problem is that the car has 16 inch wheels. I need a set of 17 inch wheels for winter usage. Wheels don't need to be perfect visually, but need to be sound. I live in the Detroit area. Thanks.

My 2000 Beetle A/C was recently repaired. I just had the under dash Fan Blower replaced and noticed the fan blows on all the speeds (high, med, low). Unfortunatly, it's not blowing out the vents. I can hear the fan funning from low to high when I turn the dash a/c fan switch, but it barely comes...
