  2. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    Hi! I've had problems with the cooling system in the past because of a blown headgasket. I've got a 2000 2.0l 5 speed beetle. I have a 2000 2.0l rebuilt engine that's been swapped in that was originally from an automatic beetle. Today it dumped a bunch of coolant. I took the engine cover off and...

    I have a 2000 Beetle 1.8L Turbo and would like to add a gauge cluster to the center on the dash. What are my options as far as what will work with my model? Can I add an oil level or temp gauge? I hate not having an oil meter. I like the 3 bubble top gauge housing and am curious what 3 gauges I...

    I know, I know... automatic transmission but it’s what I have. I’m starting with a short RAM intake filter to replace the OEM box filter. Is this the only performance upgrade I can expect with this model? Amazon has lots of toys but I’m unsure if my beetle would be if it from any of them and...

    I just recently replace my ignition barrel and ignition switch in my 2000 vw beetle. I put the key in to make sure it fixed my issue. I turned the car off and when i went to remove the key i realized the key was stuck in the ignition. I have tried wiggling the steering wheel, shifting from park...
  6. 1.8 Liter Turbo
    SEE VIDEO: I have taken my beetle to several mechanics and none of them have been able to diagnose this. I'm assuming it's because they don't know enough about this engine, so I'm hoping someone on the forum can help me out. I was recommended to replace the diverter valve (which I did) but it...
  7. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    Hey everyone, first off I'm pretty new to this forum. I own a yellow 2000 1.8T that I purchased back in 2017 for 500 bucks. Of course, I've put a lot more money into it since then for repairs/upgrades, but recently things have just been falling apart so quickly (a/c went out, headliner is...

    I was in a minor collision that took out the driver side front. Most of the damage is cosmetic, so I am doing the repair. Any suggestions for a good site to find parts diagrams? eBay is the only place I could easily find parts. ECS tuning has parts but is expensive. Without a parts diagram I...

    Working on my recently purchased 2000 2.0L automatic New Beetle. 167k miles. Working through issues I believe to be motor mount related. In reading I discovered that "stretch" bolts are used in this installation. Not sure I totally understand "stretch bolts" so... Is every bolt in each of the...
  10. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    I have a 2000 1.8T with a little over 200,000 miles on it. Lately (the past few weeks) it's been making a really loud whining/squealing noise when I accelerate. It doesn't make the noise when the engine is cold, but it is very loud when the engine is warm or I'm going up a hill. Has anyone heard...

    Hi everyone...I purchased a little bug about a week ago from someone on craigslist and Im in love with my little bug (2000 2.0 atm). The problem is that I took it for the emission inspection to be able to register the car and it did not pass since the check engine light did not come one when...

    Anyone know why that we can't hear the radio or change channels? I thought it just needed safe code but I don't think that's it. Just had car worked on and figured it was where battery was unhooked. Any suggestions?? Help!

    Hi everyone. I just bought my 15-year-old daughter her first beetle--2000 manual transmission, yellow, 109,000 miles. It is--dare I say it--in perfect shape. I got so discouraged running around town, and local towns, only to find that the advertised beetles had "check battery," "ABS" and...
