  1. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    I revived this car from years of neglect last spring, and it was a huge moldy mess from all the water that got inside when it was stuck in the driveway. A detailing fixed up the inside, but wherever the water is coming in from the outside is still actively leaking. The water was obvious where...
  2. New Member Forum
    Hello, I am a new member to this community and do not know why my 2000 Beetle is leaking on the drivers side. I have not drive it in a week and randomly a colorless, odorless spot appeared on my driveway. I am trying to learn more about this car and I am clueless about cars in general. I started...
  3. 2.0 Liter Gas
    I have a 1999 beetle that has a coolant leak coming from the lower radiator hose connection both the hose and the radiator are new. Is the lower hose supposed to have a O ring in it or could there be something else wrong that I don't know of?
  4. 2.5 Liter Gas
    Hello! I've been wrenching on my fiance's 2008 New Beetle (2.5L, Convertible, Automatic, Engine Code BPS) and believe I have found that the upper timing chain cover (07K109283E) is leaking (as well as a couple other leaks, but those have been fixed without issue). After a lot of sleuthing, I...
  5. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    Recently, a leak developed in the oil line of my car. The other day, the oil light flashed and a warning buzzer sounded while driving. No other lights appeared on the dash. I haven't driven it much (twice and very short distances) since this happened. Just how bad could this be and what kind...
  6. 2.0 Liter Gas
    Hey, everyone! I'm having a weird coolant leak in my Bug. (2000, 2.0 GLS, auto) that has seemed to have gotten worse over time. Last year, I started having my temp light (red thermometer) go off every couple of months or so. Upon checking the reservoir, it would be empty. My mechanic said it...

  8. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    So, let me start out by saying that I've googled the heck out of this. I've also read tons of threads on many sites (including this one). I'm still a little in the dark on how to fix. So please bear with me. So, I bought my daughter her first (used) car. A 1999 new beetle. There's been a...

  10. Transmission Talk
    My girlfriend has a 1999 beetle with the 2.0 liter AEG motor and four speed tranny that I recently flushed and replaced the filter on. After replacing the gasket and filling the car back up we drove the car around all after noon and and I checked the tranny and found no leaks. The next morning...
  11. 1.8 Liter Turbo
    My turbo recently failed and my mechanic installed a new turbo. Turbo power has returned.. Car is running great, but when I accelerate and get up to about 2800-3000 rpm, I can hear some sort of air intake noise and the turbo seems to cut out somewhat losing power. When I let off the throttle...
  12. 2.0 Liter Gas
    Noticed a leak underneath the car where the arrow is pointing in the photo. Don't know if this is coolant leaking down from a hose or if it's transmission fluid. It looks like it has water in it, so it's probably transmission fluid. If it is transmission fluid how do I stop the leak?
  13. 2.0 Liter Gas
    Hi All, I was looking for some help / advice with a coolant leak on my wife's '02 Beetle with a 2.0 and automatic. It's had a slow leak for a few months now. I took off the plastic engine cover to look for it, and it was pretty obvious. It's coming from the joint where a metal tube attaches...
  14. 2.5 Liter Gas
    Hello, my NBC has a slow leak of some sort, and I don't know enough about cars to identify the fluid. At first I thought it was oil, but after searching the forums here it's my understanding it's not nearly black enough to be oil. It's coming from near the center of the engine, a little...
  15. 2.0 Liter Gas
    This pipe runs just along the left underside of the engine, and it's leaking a light brown, dark yellow fluid. It has no scent, and this leak just started today. I haven't driven the car since Friday. The Haynes manual doesn't identify this pipe anywhere, and I'm at the end of my rope. Help me...
  16. New Beetle Convertible
    My wife's 2006 2.5L new beetle convertible started to idle erratic yesterday. The car would almost stall then idle up to 1500rpm then almost stall. It only happened when sitting still at idle. Drive-ability at speed and acceleration felt flat but it was still driving. On the first day there was...
  17. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    Hi all, I have gone through this forum and followed the advice regarding the front and rear drains and have removed water from both (thanks for the info on that one) But my question is this- if water follows the path of least resistance how does/ would it get from the rear drain to the rear...
