Replying to: gnosis (Sep 23, 2005 12:01 pm) I have a 2002 Beetle Turbo S that is doing the exact same thing and the VW dealership says they can find no problems with it. Is yours fixed? If so, what was the issue? Replies to this message: bpeebles (May 18, 2007 1:16 pm)

Replying to: mbeck75 (May 18, 2007 1:02 pm) I would be VERY surprised if this is the "exact same" problem. How can you compare a diesel engine to a gasoline engine? Also, I would be EVEN MORE surprised if you get an an answer in reference to a 2-year-old posting. Perhaps if you described the symptoms you are seeing with you 2002 NB (New Beetle) we may be able to offer some help.

Replying to: daisybub (May 20, 2005 1:30 pm) I have read through this board to this point and am just livid! I own a 2000 turbo. It's the cutest little piece of crap you've ever seen. Should i call her "Lemonaida?" Can't list all the problems I've had with this little gem! Is there a way we can ban together and redress our grievances with this company? Is there a lawyer reading this board? Come on! This shouldn't be legal!! What give?

Replying to: cajun1 (May 25, 2005 12:10 pm) Try the pump. My pump literally disintegrated, which is why the temp light was going on. It took my guy 2 days to figure it out.

Replying to: cokids (Jun 03, 2007 4:54 pm) Cokids: that is so weird, I was just thinking about this over the weekend. It's not just the Beetles thouhg-the Jettas have the same problems. If there is a lawyer on the board, let us know if we have enough complaints to file a class action suit. Replies to this message: jasmith52 (Jun 04, 2007 11:23 am)

Replying to: randi (Jun 04, 2007 8:40 am) My experience with class action lawsuits is that the lawyers get millions and the plaintiff class gets a coupon for a free oil change or something like that. In my opinion, class action lawsuits are for the benefit of the lawyers, not the plaintiffs.

Hello I had planned to buy a 2007 beetle hardtop, but the posts I have been reading have scared me to death!! I currently own a 1998 Civic, so massive electrical, check engine, etc, problems are new to me. Have all the issues from the earlier models been corrected in the 2007 model or should i stick with the Hondas? Love my Civic just thought the Beetles were so cute. many thanks in advance for any comments.

Replying to: shoechick100 (Jun 11, 2007 9:20 am) Absolutely do NOT buy a Beetle. Not only have the issues NOT been fixed, but VW refuses to even acknowledge most of them. At this point, the resale value doesn't even cover replacing the airbags, so you're gonna end up buying another car either right before, or right after you pay off the damn thing. Keep your Civic!

Replying to: randi (Jun 11, 2007 11:05 am) HUH? - My daugher has a 2001 NB (New Beetle) and loves it. In fact, the scrapyards around here do not have ANY parts for NBs... they claim that the NBs are "such good cars that there are none in the scrapyards" (Before you ask... we were looking for foglight lense that the dealership wants over $100 for) I am curious, what kind of electrical issues are you refering to... I would like to keep an eye open for them on my daughters NB. Replies to this message: randi (Jun 15, 2007 7:32 am) bpeebles (Jun 15, 2007 5:27 pm) randi (Jun 22, 2007 4:51 am) and 15 more...

Replying to: shoechick100 (Jun 11, 2007 9:20 am) shoechick, this is a forum which is about maintenance issues for beetles, so of course you are reading about maintenance issues here. imho the primary issue with the 2007 beetle is that you can't get the 45 mpg diesel engine in 2007s! if you are interested in maximum reliability, you should probably consider only american or japanese nameplates, and avoid all the euro nameplates!
