    Hello, this just started happening within the last few days on my 2013 beetle 2.5L Fender edition, non turbo. The headlights will both turn themselves off, whether I'm parked or driving. Turning the switch off then on again makes them work for another few minutes. Low beams or hi beams don't...

    Hello! My wife and I purchased a 2005 NB 1.8t a few months ago, it’s in great condition, has very low miles and (almost) everything on it works great.

  4. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    I have an '01 Beetle, automatic with the 1.9L TDI. It starts up and idles fine in Park, but when you put it in gear it dies immediately. The engine shuts off very fast, it doesn't wind down or anything. It was running fine a couple days ago, the issue came on suddenly. I know that sounds...

  8. 1.8 Liter Turbo
    Hello! My ex and I bought a used 2005 beetle convertible 1.8 turbo for our daughter a year ago, and most of that time it's been sitting in our driveway. My non-mechanic ex would try to fix one thing, and two would break! Rather than take the car in to a legit shop, he just bought her a Prius...

    My girlfriend recently hit a deer in her 03 1.8t turbo S demolishing one of the aftermarket headlights.

  13. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    I've owned my 2007 VW NewBeetle since about 2010, and while she is my pride and joy, she is a royal pain in the ass. For as long as I can remember, there has been evidence of electrical issues, although they seemed minor. I hit a bump and a blinker or headlamp goes out, hit another bump the...
