Replying to: diesel98acharm (Mar 18, 2009 7:34 pm) Consider a METAL skidplate... it costs about the same as the factory plastic one.. and actually PROTECTS the engine   Here are links to 2 different metal skidplates.   http://www.evolutionimport.com/Volkswagen_Skid_Plates_s/17.htm   http://www.dieselgeek.com/servlet/Categories?category=Panzer+Skid+Plates Replies to this message: diesel98acharm (Mar 20, 2009 6:17 pm)

#1010 of 1064 Problems with starting 01 GLS Turbo? by ngreen02 Mar 26, 2009 (10:18 am)
I have a question: I have a '01 GLS Turbo (manual transmisison), and it seems to be having a problem starting after the car has ran. It has no problem cold starting, but if I turn the car off and restart it, it seems to be having problems turning over and I can somewhat smell gasoline. Could it be the fuel pump or O2 sensor (the sensor was replaced 1.5 years ago)? Any info would be great, since it has to go in for an oil change in a couple of weeks.

Replying to: jenn3c (Apr 08, 2009 11:33 pm) Dealership is the best choice if you dont mind paying the price.   If you do not mind USED parts... this site will allow you to search 1000s of scrapyards across the conutry.

Replying to: poyo (Apr 15, 2009 9:25 pm) I owned a 2001 Beetle. It lost the splash guard several times. It's plastic and the car is very low to the ground. It usually has some form of damage or has lost it's bolt that holds it to the under carrige. I removed my splash guard altogether after replacing it twice. I live in warm weather climate, no snow, slush or mud and I don't "off road" with the car so having the splash guard is not that important so I drove without it for years. You need to find a guy at school to get up under your car and remove the front part of the splash guard so you can at least drive the car. Call the nearest VW dealership and ask if they have one in stock (they always do because everyone at some point has a problem with the splash guard because they are so CHEAPLY MADE) Ask a price for the part and install, usually OVER 100.00. Every time you have your oil changed they have to remove the splash guard and by the way the 2001 (2.0) liter engines were OIL USERS!!!! Bad manufacturing of those engines. The "rings" around the pistons were not seated properly (VW knows all about that issue) VW does not even use that same engine anymore!!!! Keep and eye on your dip stick!!!! Hope this helps you understand the splash guard situation. Replies to this message: bpeebles (Apr 19, 2009 4:48 pm) techman41973 (Jun 17, 2009 9:24 pm) bpeebles (Jun 19, 2009 5:21 pm)

Replying to: jenn3c (Apr 08, 2009 11:33 pm) Jen - I would check with a local car junk yard. These are great sources of used parts and lots cheaper than the dealer. If the local yard does not have a door panel, they can check with other yards (many have the ability to check inventory of other yards). I have purchased tail lights, interior switches (for the fan of the heater) and numerous other items) and been pleased. As you have a 98 beetle, parts should be available.   Give it a try!   Bel Air Car Guy.

Replying to: keekidoll53 (Apr 16, 2009 7:00 am) Have you considerd one of the METAL replacements? They are cheaper than factory plastic ones and actually PROTECT your engine.   http://www.evolutionimport.com/Volkswagen_Skid_Plates_s/17.htm   http://www.dieselgeek.com/servlet/Categories?category=Panzer+Skid+Plates Replies to this message: techman41973 (Jun 17, 2009 9:24 pm) bpeebles (Jun 19, 2009 5:21 pm)
