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...

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...

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...
