I have a 1999 1.8L New Beetle that has given me all kinds of problems. Most recently, this morning, I went to start it in 5 degree (F) weather and it cranked and cranked and cranked but wouldn't start. I tried this four times before it finally came alive, but then the check engine light was on!
I recently had to have the battery replaced (cold MN weather killed the old one). The catalytic converter was a right mess last summer and the check engine light was on for a while then. The transmission has made a good attempt at falling out. The ignition switch was bad when I got it. The power steering pump and hoses all had to be replaced less than a year ago. The left blinker occasionally cant decide what speed to go. And the sunroof doesn't work! I've put more into this car to fix it than I did to purchase it two years ago.
Help me!
