I had the oil changed (synthetic oil, at least supposedly) on my wife's 2004 VW Bug a couple of weeks ago, and the other day she was coming home and she said the oil light came on. I checked the dipstick and there seemed to be plenty of oil in there, so I started the car up. It ran for about...

We bought our first Beetle for $1495 in 1959 and it was our first car with a personality. There was a waiting list to buy a VW then. :) It was my friend until 1967 when the last guy to change the oil left the plug loose, oil lost and car stopped - in a snow storm in New York City. :( Instead of...

I'm new here, and I have had some strange issues with my poor little 2001 VW bug. He doesn't have a turbo, was kept in great condition, has under 95K miles on him, and has prompt repair work done. Now, the issue I'm having is that he was throwing a code for the O2 filter or something like that...

Last year, the oil light on my 2001, 1.8T Beetle kept going off...all the time. It would go off when the oil level was high and when it was low. It would even go off immediately after an oil change. There was no rhyme or reason for when it would go off (though it did particularly enjoy hard...

I have 149K on my 1999 Beetle TDI. I love the car but it's quirky. I had my oil changed at a local Jiffy Lube. In the process the plastic filler tube broke so I got a new one at the dealer and Jiffy Lube installed it. I noticed when the engine was cold and I started the car the oil light...
