I have a 2000 Beetle 1.8L GLS Turbo Manual trans. I'm having a few problems with it and I hope someone can help me figure out whats wrong with my Babe!!! ??? 1) He will not take off on a hill if the A\C is on. 2) Cruise control just randomly quit working. 3) He will not idle without pumping...

I have a 2002 beetle 2.0 with automatic. The speedometer indicates about 45mph at 70-75 mph when cold and 25-30 when hot at 70-75 mph, I have been using the tach to drive by(it appears to be ok). the odometer is only picking up half the distance traveled, about equal to the speedometer, the...

I had a tail light burn out and thought I would replace both the newer LED replacement bulbs (got it on amazon) but it would appear this is incompatible with the cruise control system (at least on my old girl) as I noticed it immediately stopped working. I put back in standard filament bulbs...

Lots of lil thing break on this car but two things I would like to get fixed.... I have no cruise control and with all the salt on the road, I have no washer fluid. CC - I just had the brake switch replaced at the dealer. WF - It is full, I hear no sound when when pulled. Any thoughts?

So I think these three problems are interrelated. I've read some posts about similar problems, but I haven't seen a clear solution yet so here's my problem. The speedometer needle on my car bounces at around 45 mph. It seems to work fine up until that speed, but after that it just bounces in...

Yesterday I was driving to Kentucky from Middle Tennessee. Any time I am on the open road I like to use my cruise control. Well after about a minute is disengages. Hmmm....well that's weird. Tried it again a bit later, same thing happend. Tried it a couple more times over the 2.5 hours drive...
