  1. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    Hi. I bought a 2006 VW New Beetle Turbo Diesel a while back. 500 miles on a tank of gas. Smooth and fun on the four lanes and country roads. However..... it intermittently stalls upon stopping. If I stop really carefully, it usually isnt an issue. Quicker stops. Some days half the time...
  2. 2.0 Liter Gas
    I have a 98 Beetle that is having some issues. When I start the car, about half the time it won't start on the first try. I have to press the gas pedal while I turn the key to get it to start. I am also having issues where it hesitates upon pressing the gas. I actually almost got in a wreck...
  3. 2.0 Liter Gas
    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...
  4. 2.0 Liter Gas
    I have had my bug for about a year now and I just started having a problem with stalling and idling.

    Hi all, new to the forums, I've just bought a New Beetle a week or so ago, it's the 2000 model and was modified somewhat by the previous owner It has an aftermarket exhaust system and a huge pipercross induction kit, I was told due to the intake the MAF had to be unplugged. When it's connected...
  6. 2.0 Liter Gas
    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...

    2001 NB + 2.0l + Automatic / California Stalls and recovers while driving: When driving at freeway speeds and the fuel tank goes below 1/4, the engine will briefly starve for fuel - maybe for a full second. It then recovers 'in a burst' and will drive without issue until I refill the tank...
  9. 1.8 Liter Turbo
    Hey all, this is my first post to newbeetle.org I am having problems with my car stalling. While driving the ASR light will come on. There is nothing wrong with the traction control or ABS (I tested them out the other day on some snow). Once I turn the car off and restart it, the light will be...
  10. 2.0 Liter Gas
    Any ideas as to what causes this? I think I may need a new battery but the car starts fine and only stalls when the car is both put into neutral AND the A/C is on. When I put the A/C on, the RPMs drop a bit and when I put it into neutral, they just drop out completely. This happens if I...

    Yesterday I was driving home - when I was in my neighborhood, my radio died. After turning it on and off a few times, it came back to life. About a minute later my air bag and ABS light came on as I was coming up to a stop sign. I shut the car off and then tried to turn it back on. It turned...
