Several weeks ago on our 1999 2.0L, I was constantly getting error codes that cylinder 1 and 4 were misfiring. After figuring out that the coil pack could be the problem, I replaced it. The car ran absolutely fine after that and always started without any problems. We went out of town Friday...

Hello all. I'm reaching out because after extensive research via these forums, I'm at a point where I need assistance. Here is what's happening with my wife's 2005 2.0L (BEV) new beetle. The car started experiencing stalling issues once the weather got hot (88-100 degrees F), and the a/c was...

I have had my bug for about a year now and I just started having a problem with stalling and idling. About 2 weeks ago I started having a rough idle and it would stall while going around turns or at low speeds. I though it was the maf going bad. While driving on the highway it started to loose...

Alright so I am back once again with trying to get my 2.0 running and I have made a little headway but it seems not by much :( After doing what seems like a lot (which doesn't honestly seem like too much) I am at a complete standstill and almost want to quit and sell the thing. Things done so...

I bought my car (2001 GLS 2_0) last October. I love this car! :nblove: The mileage was a little over 25 k. There was a sticker on it for servicing in 5K. It's a little over 29 now. So, last night my check engine light came on. The hubs checked the oil and it was wayyyy dry. (Yes, got the...

I have a '99 New Beetle 4 cal 2.0 Eng, manual transmission, that has been having a lot of problems lately. I've gone to a mechanic and tomorrow will be my fifth time dropping my car off at this particular shop. The issue I've been having is a rough idle among other things. The things that...

My wife's beetle was running very rough and throwing misfire codes, I found a detached tube, which I think is a breather tube. It has ECS on the side, and seems to have melted apart. It seems to slip into a heat shrink like tube. Once I did that, the car runs smoothly (although that tube is...

It's been a LONG time since I have been on the board but, as always, I come here to search the board when I have 'issues'. Since the whole timing belt and bent valves mess the bug has had cold start troubles as well as idling issues. When I am sitting at a light my boost WAS at -20 but the last...
