  2. Questions, Issues or Problems with 2012+ Beetle
    I bought a 2015 Beetle about 3 weeks ago. I knew when I bought it the interior lights weren’t working but found out last night after getting pulled over that my tail lights aren’t working either. Brake lights fine, head lights fine, turn signals fine. I’ve scoured the internet to see if there is...
  3. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    Am I crazy for thinking this? Basically long story short I've bough a 160hp MK6 a few months ago, while I love the car and everything, everytime I look at a New Beetle I get this urge of selling my Golf and buying a New Beetle, do you think it would be a wise choice?
  4. Water-cooled/Current
    Hi, coolant is leaking from or near a joint between a stainless steel connecting pipe and a rusty steel pipe that is attached to the exhaust manifold under the engine. (see photos). The pipe is difficult to get out from under the car. What does this manifold pipe do and is it required? If I...

    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?

  6. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    Hello everyone, Long-time lurker, first time poster. I'm the proud owner of a 2001 New Beetle, but last night I started to have a crank-no-start scenario. I can't hear the fuel pump priming and the fuel pump is not receiving power at the connector (confirmed via multimeter testing). I...
  7. Technical How-To
    I have a 2009 convertible and my window wire frayed and I had to buy a new one. I have it completely installed except for the last wire. Where it connects the wiring is short and no matter how hard I pull even with tools the closest I can get is about a half inch from where it's supposed to...

    Hi, I’m looking to sell my 2008 VW beetle, not because I want to or there’s anything wrong with her but because I moved to the UK pre-pandemic in a bit of a rush and I’m finally back and able to get it sorted. I haven’t put a I’m looking for any sort of advice- she’s been sitting idle but I...

  10. New Beetle Convertible
    Could someone please tell me what size battery I need for my 06 Beetle convertible? It’s a 2.5L gas engine. My booklet says the size is on the battery…duh. Unfortunately my car is not with me at the moment so I can’t go look at it and I need to pick one up. Previous searches said an H5, H6 and...
  11. New Beetle Convertible
    The rear window in my 2014 Beetle convertible blew out when I put the top down the other day. Shattered glass everywhere. Was a coolish day (high 50's in the Northeast) and no visible signs of any cracks, etc. Insurance co. is telling me the entire roof needs to be replaced ... and both shops...

    I recently got a new battery for my 2012 Beetle (56,290 miles) as the old one no longer held a charge. I had thought the problem was a parasitic drain on the system so went through all the fuses, disconnecting one-by-one to see which might be the source of the drain - no luck; the drain seemed...

    New Beetle Parts and Accessories
    I am searching for a camshaft cap (4 bolt) on the intake side. I was torquing it when it just snapped. Can’t believe it broke before getting 7 lbs. on it. If someone has a blown 1.8t engine ans can spare it, please let me know. My car is a 2000 beetle gls with 1.8t engine. Thanks
  15. The New Beetle Experience
    I am wanting to get a spare key for my beetle because I have a problem with locking my keys in the car lol. But I was wondering if a 2000 beetle requires a chip in the key to simply just unlock it. Because if not, I would just get a key made but if it needs a chip in it, it would be more...

    Hey! I'm new to this subject. I ride a motorcycle so I don't know much about cars. The 1958 vw beetle engine keeps getting broken down and need frequent repairs. It also consumes a lot of fuel. About 8-10 km per L. What type of engine can I use to replace it with? Without cutting the frame and...

    Hello y'all, this is a thread only to inform all of you that yes a cluster swap is possible, pretty much anything you can think of with some re-wiring and doing custom shells/frames and you're good to go. First lets talk about the Cluster swap, yes it's possible but you need money to invest on...
  19. Technical Modifications 2012+
    Hello, My wife just bought a 2013 Beetle and it had just one key (not original). For some reason, it is a bit tough to turn off the car sometimes and get the key out of the ignition. I hear this is a common problem with VW vehicles. I am taking it to the VW dealer for the passenger bag recall...

    had my tty bolts fail less than 1,500 miles. The transmission was rebuilt and the timing was serviced and new tty bolts were used but the mount was not replaced and the rubber inside the transmission mount cracked and allowed far too much movement causing one bolt to snap and the other to strip...
