  1. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    So I'm working on my sisters '98 Beetle, and her battery in her Key FOB and her car battery went dead over the winter. After charging up the battery and using a booster pack I went to go start it. But to my surprise the alarm went off when I opened the door, but also when I went to start it...
  2. 2.0 Liter Gas
    Hi experts! This is my first post on here, so apologies if I break any of the unwritten rules, or make any newbie faux pas. I am in the process of removing the engine for a complete overhaul of my 2 litre bug (2000 X-plate), but I cannot disable the anti-theft system. I’ve looked everywhere...
  3. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    I have a 2010 New Beetle Convertible. Starting yesterday, when I begin moving a steady Alarm goes off for 8 to 10 seconds and then stops. As soon as I stop again (as at a stop sign) and begin moving it goes off again. No indicator lights go off on the dash board. Any ideas would be appreciated.

  6. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    Hey, My driver side door lock broke the other day as I was trying to manually unlock it (the fobs died ages ago). I can still access the inside of the car by going through the trunk though, so my question is, if I try to start the car from the inside, while the doors are still locked, will the...
  7. New Beetle Convertible
    Hi, I recently bought a 2004 Beetle Convertible and it has a problem: the alarm for the roof is always going off, even when its latched in place. I want to replace it myself but I cannot seem to take apart the header to get to it. Is there a trick? Also, when the roof is back, the little...
  8. 2.0 Liter Gas
    2003 Convertible 2.0/auto Last night the alarm went off. The key fob doesn't work (yes new batts), so I went out and opened the car, turned on the ignition and then shut it off when the alarm stopped. Should I not have done that? Because this morning the battery was dead. We jumped it and it...
  9. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    I have a 2001 and recently the alarm has started going off a few minutes after I lock the door. To temporarily solve the problem, I just didn't lock the doors in my fairly safe neighborhood. However, I'm going back to school soon and I simply cannot do this. Right now, I have just taken the fuse...
  10. 2.0 Liter Gas
    Ok I'll try to be efficient here. I bought my daughter a 2000 beetle gls 2.0 with problems to get it cheap. My mechanic fixed a ton of things including a new battery, wiring harness, alternator (with voltage reg), positive battery cable, checked negative cable, cleaned and repaired battery top...
  11. The New Beetle Experience
    I've had my 2000 manual transmission Beetle for six years, and there are certain quirks that I just learned to deal with. Now I'm curious whether these are normal behaviors, and who better to ask than the New Beetle Forums! If I try to start the car with either of the doors locked, the alarm...

    Hi fellow Beetle owners, I have a 2000 2.0 5-speed I recently purchased 3 weeks ago. The car has 117K miles, runs and drives good. I do have intermittent issues with the locking system.

  14. 1.8 Liter Turbo
    I'm having major problems with the alarm in my 2001 beetle. It started yesterday for no apparent reason. Whenever I tried to start the car, the alarm would go off. Today, the alarm stopped going off when I started it, but began again when I opened my trunk. What is going on? Anyone have...
  15. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    Hello, It's a beautiful spring day here in NY and I can't put my roof down for fear of an annoying alarm noise that goes off even though my roof is locked down. The roof warning light goes on as well. This is a 2004 manual roof Beetle which has always functioned fine. I greatly appreciate your...
  16. New Beetle Convertible
    My 2009 NBC did not have the alarm/security warning light installed on the passengers door just a black plug. Obviously deleted for cost as with many other little niceties. I do not know which model year this began. Follow other door panel removal posts for door panel removal, its easy...
  17. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    I have a 2000 1.8 Ltr Turbo Beetle that has given me nothing but trouble. My latest issue stems from a broken parking brake cable that rusted through and failed about 9 months ago. This has not been a problem as I simply put the car in gear to park and live in a fairly flat state (Indiana). This...
  18. 2.0 Liter Gas
    Hi Everyone, So, now that I am home more often, I have noticed my alarm goes off at random intervals for a few minutes at a time if I cannot get to the key quick enough. When I can, the only way to stop it is to unlock the doors. Also, the door (driver side) does not lock with remote and is...
  19. 2.0 Liter Gas
    Hi, started another thread because I am pretty sure my problems are unrelated. A few weeks ago, my daytime running lights stopped working. Seemingly for no reason. Both, at the same time. I am 90% sure it is not the bulbs - any ideas?? In addition, my doors occaisionally do not lock and the...
