Hi! My young cousin bought my 2002 New Beetle Turbo 1.8 L (Snap Orange beautiful she & I love) one year ago and now it's broken down in Fall Branch, Tenn. She is also close to Kingsport, Johnson City and Bristol. A local mechanic diagnosed a broken water pump and timing belt. The beetle has not performed well during the colder months in 2018 or 2019. However, this mechanic does not work on VWs himself and couldn't recommend one. I called dealers, club members and private mechanics here in south Florida where I reside, but none have come through with knowing someone in that area. If you can recommend a quality, reasonably-priced repairman for my cousin, she and I would greatly appreciate it! The name of company, mechanic, address and/or phone number would all help. THANK YOU!

Dear SmileyBug:

My cousin and I SO appreciate your responding. You have some great ideas we should've thought of, however didn't know about TDI mechanics. I am forwarding your message to her and she may find some good luck in her area. THANK YOU AGAIN!
