  1. 1.8 Liter Turbo
    I changed the coolant flange on my 2001 1.8 (automatic) Beetle a couple days ago. In the reference video I watched there was no mention of draining the coolant first and only a little spurt of coolant came out when he did the change. When I did it to mine it bled the entire time and completely...

  3. 1.8 Liter Turbo
    I have an ‘02 Beetle 1.8T. Sometimes, once the car is all warmed up, I’ve been driving for a while, and I slow down, usually gradually, I get a low oil pressure light. It happens usually when I’m at lower rpms, 1000-2000, decelerating. It flashes on and off, maybe 5-10 times total, and turns...

    Hi, I'm new to the group. My partner and I came into a 1.8L turbo manual 2002 beetle for free! It needs a bit of work but two things first. 1) I'm looking for knock sensor 1, I had the check engine light come on and it was that code. Is it this nut with a little yellow paint on the front...

  9. 2.0 Liter Gas
    Ok guys don't scream at me, just spend two days looking at forums etc. So I got a 2001 gls beetle for $700, the reason so cheap is it burns a little oil. (Read that's normal, and the blue temp light stays on 24/7). The car has 140k on it. Timing bet, water pump, etc has been done at a...

    Hello everyone. I've got a problem. About a month ago I got my oil changed at my local vw dealer.

  14. New Beetle Convertible
    I am having a problem with what seems to be a travel/limit sensor for the convertible top. When the top is put up and down it does not seem to recognize it being at it's full end position. I say this because when it does reach those positions the top motor will still continue to run and the...
