    Hey there! I'm having a transmission problem (I think!) with my bug. When the engine heats up to working temp after being run for ~30 minutes or more, my car has a hard time shifting up and down in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. I've been to a mechanic and I have no engine or transmission error codes...
  3. 2.5 Liter Gas
    My daughter was driving down the road and her car just started revving. I assumed the transmission had gone out. We parked it in our garage and I started it the other day and now will go into reverse and drive. Just rolled it about 5 ft in both directions. So now I’m thinking could be something...

It slips but will engage in reverse, when in drive, it feels like I only have 2nd gear. it doesnt shift. Ive...

    Mileage is 97,000 ~ well-serviced, taken care of. Today after oil change (20 minutes afterwards) my check engine light came on and it RARELY comes on. Seemed like I could feel the car wasn't going into overdrive - at about 40mph it felt/sounded like it needed to shift but wouldn't. Light came...

    Hi all, I hope you are doing well wherever you are I am continuing on the journey to fix the transmission of my 98 beetle. (180k miles. Yikes, I know.) A few months ago I replaced the valve body and changed the fluid hoping that would help with the warm-weather shifting issues. We did not have...
  7. 1.8 Liter Turbo
    I find conflicting info. What kind of transmission fluid should you use when changing the fluid in a 2000 1.8t glx with a 5 speed manual transmission. Car sat a year and I'm freshening him up with all new fluids but can't find a straight answer on what kind of transmission fluid I need.

    Is there a way to determine if a NB has the DSG transmission by using the VIN or something else that is definitive? I'm looking for a used NB between 2006-2011 for my daughter. I'm really wanting to get a model with the DSG transmission. I have read that the shifter has DSG on it if it has...
  9. 2.0 Liter Gas
    I have a 2002 Beetle with an automatic 4 speed transmission with 107,000 miles, and almost every time when I shift from 2nd to 3rd gear, the car will lurch forward and the rpms will shoot up. There are no transmission codes. Could this be fixed by changing the fluid, or is this a sign that my...
  10. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    My 1998 New Beetle 2.0 Automatic has had a slight shudder to it at idle for a while, it never was a serious issue and only occurred at low speeds or idle. I recently had my transmission fluid flushed before a long road trip to see family, since that long drive the idle shudder has become more...

    So long story short our New beetle sat for months and the battery completely drained and has lost communication with the TCM. You get no gears or numbers under the mileage on the tach and it's obviously in some sort of limp mode. So we tried to go about messing with the TCM via VCDS software...

    Just replaced the valve body on my 2006 New Beetle w a rebuilt unit. The job is done except for refilling the transmission. As I was emptying the old transmission fluid I discovered a 1" pin (pictured below) in the oil, cringe! I am now contemplating tearing open the transmission to try and...

    Hi all, wife has a 2010 convertible beetle that is not going past 3rd. 1st, 2nd and 3rd work good no bumps. 4th, 5th and 6th wont engage. I got a new valve body with new solenoids, replaced everything, new fluid in, reset all adaptations, exact same symptom :( Found a totaled bettle at an...
  14. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    Hello everyone, I’m new in this community, even though I always read the posts and find accurate solutions. However, I’m going crazy right now, here’s the thing: I removed the center console on my wife’s 2008 Automatic (TipTronic) New Beetle to change the 12v outputs, and because the magnet on...
  15. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    I recently purchased a 2000 Beetle (2.0l auto) and from what I can tell it never shifts up to 4th gear. When in Drive, it does 80kph at 3000 rpm, 100kph at 4000rpm (or a smidgen under 4000), and 110 at about 4200 rpm. Do those rev counts that sound too high to you? When cruising at 100kph, if...

    I just converted my daughter's 2003 NBC from automatic to manual and I have the 09G sitting in the garage taking up space. This vehicle has been in my family since new and the transmission has only 55K miles on it - HOWEVER - I'd recommend installing a rebuilt valve body. The transmission was...

    Hey, so I am a 22 year old girl. I stupidly left my keys in my car after a night of drinking with friends (no I didn't drive home but I needed to grab something out of it.) And the next morning my car was gone. Anyways I got it back today and all the lights on my dash are lit up and I can feel...

    Hi There, I have a 2014 Turbo Beetle with 30,000 miles. I am the 2nd owner, just bought it used in December. I find that when I shift it into reverse it seems to lunge into gear. Is this an issue I should address to the dealership re: transmission? It also does this when going...
  19. 2.5 Liter Gas
    Hello. about a month ago I started having harsh downshifts. From what I've been able to find it appears to be shift solenoid problems. I can find replacement solenoids but I don't know if thy are for my transmission. I have a 2006 beetle convertible 6 speed automatic 2.5l gas. I'm hoping someone...
