  1. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    I pulled clothing items from the drivers side of the trunk in my ‘06 new beetle. I noticed that they were warm. Feeling the floor of the trunk it was near hot. The passenger side of the trunk was not warm at all. Has anyone experienced this?
  2. 2.0 Liter Gas
    So my 98 beetle has an extra pair of wires coming out of the actuator with some sort of switch on it and I have no idea where it goes. I think it's what makes mine work. I also can't find a diagram with it in it. Will add pics when I get them

    Hello all. Does anyone have a video, or instructions, pertaining to the replacement of the deck lid seal? It's the trunk weatherstrip, part #1Y0827703B. Assuming that the plastic trim inside the trunk has to be removed? Thanks.

  5. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    Hey, everyone! My Bug is a 2000 GLS. I’m having a weird problem with my trunk lock actuator. When starting up first thing in the morning, the trunk will unlock itself, but only then. Once I’ve driven it for a while and stop somewhere, it won’t unlock itself when I restart. Anyone got any...

  7. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    2008 New Beetle, 2.5L convertible. Trunk will not open from door switch nor key fob. I can apply 12v to the trunk latch and it will actuate properly. The fuel door switch works properly from the door switch. The key fob makes the lights blink when pressed but not the trunk latch. I...
  8. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    I bought a 1999 beetle and the trunk does not open. I do not have a remote key, only a key to manually unlock, and it does not unlock the rear hatch. The automatic locks inside do not work either (the inside panels were ripped out and horribly replaced, only power windows work). Can someone...

  10. New Beetle Detailing/Cleaning
    Hey, everyone! I'm having an issue with my '00 GLS trunk emblem. It is one of the ones where the entire emblem swivels away to reveal the lock. The chrome bubbling and peeling off to reveal white plastic underneath. I believe it also considered to be a 3D emblem. I've checked around the...

    I have a 2000 new beetle with the 1.8 turbo. I just had to replace the ignition switch. But after coming home from the shop, I started experiencing new problems. When I put Annabeth into first, and then move and have to stop again (without getting out of first) her trunk pops open. It's not...
  13. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    Hey there. Ever since i got my Beetle, i've been having some minor trouble with my hatch. The latching mechanism ITSELF works perfectly fine, as do the hatch-release buttons, both inside the door and on the key fob. However, although the latch will open and close like normal, the car does not...

I was worried that buying my 03 Beetle that I might have problems but if I do, I know I am not alone and have a great resource for help. Anyway, I...
  17. New Beetle Convertible
    Hello, I've been noticing a bad smell in "Ringo" (my 05' NBC) lately and was thinking that maybe there was some wet milk on a gallon of milk we bought at the supermarket a few days ago. (So I left the lid open in the garage the other night to let it air out.) But that hasn't solved the...

    Hello everyone, I don't normally post in this forum :D (actually I never have, I'm actually coming from vwvortex), but on to the problem. My cousin just got a 2004 NB.

  19. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    Hello, so I'm having a problem with my trunk. It doesn't seem to want to shut all the way. It seems to be stuck in a sort of half closed deal. I can't open it but there is some give when I lift. This just started this evening. I looked where it latches and nothing seems to be obstructing it. The...
