    My wife's daily commuter is a 1998 2.0L Beetle. Recently developed a coolant leak in the hose connecting the Water Pipe to the Left Nipple of the Heater Core. As you can tell by the pics, someone has retrofitted it with a threaded flush connector, which is where the leak is. Go figure. I'm...

    2000 2.0 Beetle. I'm replacing the radiator (and radiator support) and have run into a snag. I cannot get the upper radiator mounts off of the old radiator. I was expecting to be able to reuse them and they appear to be in good shape. Is there a trick to getting them off? Maybe they are...

    Just installed an aftermarket radiator in my 2001 1.8L Turbo and find that the OEM radiator hose mount and hose connects are of a larger diameter than the aftermarket hose mount and therefore the new radiator is leaking.

  14. 1.8 Liter Turbo
    I have noticed that when the fans come on due to heat or when I turn on the A/C the car shakes noticeably and I can also hear them running pretty hard. I can also smell a bit of Anti Freeze after parking the car after I have driven the car around town. I have never had a car do this so I...
