RE: 2002 NB 2.0 Auto, 108,500 miles Hi all. I've posted about a starting issue with my Beetle once before, but after a bit more research/time, I think the issue might be with the immobilizer. The issue: Intermittently, I start the car and the engine almost immediately shuts off. It doesn't...

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...

Hi! I tried to start my 2005 Beetle today, and it wouldn't turn over. It was like the battery is dead, but I just replaced it a few months ago. There's no power to the car though, the windows won't roll down, the radio won't come on. There were two warning lights, one for the battery, and one...

I have a 2000 beetle and it will not start. It will turn over but that's it. The only lights on are the check engine light and the EPC light.It's not the timing, which we initially thought. But we found that inside the fuse panel box on top of the battery, the first fuse on the left hand side is...

Hey folks - Drove my car to work this morning, no problems. Tried to grab lunch across town, but I couldn't start my 2001 Beetle. Turning the key to 'on' gives me a blinking 'BRAKE' light, and my fuel gauge doesn't move like it usually does. Trying to turn the key for ignition doesn't really...

I am hoping that someone will be able to help me with this one. I replaced the battery in my 2001 2.0 Bug and ever since the car will not start or even turn over. I have tried jumping it to make sure the new battery was ok. I have also checked the battery connections, the ground seems to be...
