#574 of 743 What a cool (quirky) color! by libertycat Dec 10, 2002 (2:32 pm)
I saw a metallic purple/green/yellowish New Beetle Turbo S at a dealer recently. Does anyone own one? I was curious about how the paint kept up and what kind of attention it received.

#577 of 743 2.0 Oil Consumption by fish8 Dec 31, 2002 (5:45 am)
Has VW fixed this problem in later '02 VW's. I have a '02 Jetta with the 2.0 and have almost 8,500 miles and my car has not used any excess oil.
#578 of 743 2.0L oil consumption by adg44 Jan 02, 2003 (2:25 pm)
I know that on the new beetle convertible, they redesigned the whole head of the engine. Supposedly it's not an oil drinker anymore - who knows though.
#579 of 743 turbo experience by hayduke01 Jan 03, 2003 (8:51 am)
Any owners of the GLX or Turbo S?   My wife's thinking about the convertible, but is leaning toward waiting for more power.   Is there a convenient source for performance numbers for the 2.0, the GLX and the S?   Interested in comments, experiences, observations, etc.
#580 of 743 Quirky color and what's that noise and by blue_bug_18 Jan 03, 2003 (6:57 pm)
Hey libertycat, that color is cyan purple and it is cool looking. Vw waranties their paint jobs for 10years. I asked the manager at VW how much it was and he said A LOT.   I just bought a 2003 2.0L GLS Blue Lagoon Beetle which dispels the previous messages saying that Blue Lagoon was going away and the 2.0L was going away. Anyway, after the car has sat off for a while and I open the door, I hear an electric motor sound coming from the inside running for a few seconds and stop. I have heard a sound like this before in a Cadillac which was a leveling motor airing up shocks but I don't know what this is. Does anyone have a clue what this could be? If I close the door and open it again it will NOT do it again till I let it sit for a while. So far I love my car but it only has 200 miles on it.

That sound you hear is normal. I have a 2002 Jetta and I believe it is the fuel pump. Some will correct me if I'm wrong.
#582 of 743 Yup... by adg44 Jan 12, 2003 (1:47 pm)
It's the fuel pump priming.... normal.   - Anthony
#583 of 743 New or Used? by ashburn1 Mar 14, 2003 (8:38 am)
Don't like what I have been reading about electrical/engine problems with the beetle, yet really want to own one. Has the '03 taken care of some of these problems? All I can afford is a GL, no options, for the '03. Any 2000-02's that don't have the above problems? I'm a spoiled Corolla owner ('89), boo hooing that I have to give up my baby but alas. . . interior finally leaks too much to repair the rest of the problems. Did drive the beetle once and loved it! Just not willing to put up with electrical problems. And if the beetle doesn' t cut it, any other suggestions? Need to know any advice/info asap as brakes and front end problems are looming over me. Need something new quick!!!!
