    Hi! I'm new here and need some help. So i bought my beetle in the fall, used. And quickly after buying it I realized that whoever owned it before me did not give a single **** about maintaining it. One of the things I wanted to fix recently was the AC not being cold, so I charged it. It was at 5...

    So i bought my beetle in the fall, used. And quickly after buying it I realized that whoever owned it before me did not give a single **** about maintaining it. One of the things I wanted to fix recently was the AC not being cold, so I charged it. It was at 5 PSI, charged it to about 40, and it...

    I am having a couple of issues with my 2015 New Beetle TDI With my A/C. I have read many posts of people having the exact same issues many with fixes I have already tried. When I first start my Beetle for the day (AM or PM), it takes 6-7 minutes for cool air to start coming out of my vents...

    Hey gang, I haven't written in a while. I bought my daughter a 2000 gls at a really low price, knowing I would have to fix it up. I didn't know I'd have to replace EVERYTHING!

    Hello all, my 1999 nb just underwent an ac pump replacement. I took my car to the garage to get it diagnosed and they said that the pump was bad. I had the same feeling that was the problem. I replaced the ac pump and dryer. When I turn on my ac, it blows cold for about 4-5 minutes and then the...

    I have a 2003 Beetle 2.0L - My air blows hot and regular, but has stopped blowing out cold cold air even when I have the AC button pushed in.

    Hi everyone... I'm about to have my expansion valve and drier changed on my 2002 1.8T Beetle. Neither of the parts came with any O-Rings. I have been told (and researched) that I should change all of the O-Rings associated with the expansion valve and drier. I can't find the part numbers...

    Looking for some advice. I just replaced the Compressor, Dryer and expansion valve. I used a rebuilt compressor. I put everything together (4.5 oz of PAG oil in compressor) and then drew a vacuum on the system for 30 minutes. I let it sit for about an hour to make sure that there were no...

    I started to notice my beetle acting strange a few days ago. When I was leaving for work in the morning, I noticed that the INSIDE of my windsheild was very foggy from condensation. I've never seen that happen on the inside of my car before. For the rest of the day and the day after that, the...

    Sorry guys, yet another AC thread. However, I HAVE read through the others and can't seem to find the same symptoms. This is a 2.0 2001 GLS When I turn on the AC, both fans do kick on from the radiator, and I can even watch the RPMs rhythmically pull until the AC is off but no cold air at...

    Recently got my '99 Beetle with the air not working and decided I could fix it myself. We were told by a local mechanic that the lines had no pressure and he would recharge the system for around $150. I figured if it was a simple recharge, I could do that myself and save a few bucks. I...
  17. 1.8 Liter Turbo
    Hi everyone... About a month ago my A/C started to not feel "as cold" as usual on my way home from work in New Orleans. The next day, it seemed to only be slightly cooling, but when I would stop at stop lights it would get colder. I figured it was low on freon, even though the compressor was...

    I have a 1999 VW Beetle and do not know much about cars at all. D: Here are the symptoms: when I turn the A/C on, it works for about five minutes and then seems to fade into blowing hot outside air in.

    Hello, proud owner of a 2000 VW Beetle, 2.0, 117,000 miles.
