If you can email me a copy of the wiring diagram that would be helpful. Can you jump around the switch or should I go to a junk yard and try to get one?

Yes you can pull the connector from the back of the switch an temporarily place a jumper wire between the black/blue wire and any of the other 4 wires, depending on what speed you want the fan to run.
Unfortunately I cannot e-mail the diagram as I have no means of scanning the page. I can fax it to you if you have a toll free fax number (sorry I have no long distance service on the fax machine). Let me know..CP

problems with adhesives and insulation!?! by lighthouse2

I have two problems with my volkswagon and have no idea what to do...My 83 year old mother gave me her 2001 bug with only 18,000 miles, last July. She had it in Florida up until last year. I drove it back to New York. The problem is that the leatherette on both door panels is falling completely off (just hanging there) and the yellowish, spongy, glue type stuff is flaking all over the place....But, also now that I've started using the heater, foam like spongy material is also blowing all over the car (dashboard, seats, and me) Quite truthfully, Im also concerned about what I might be breathing in. Some of the particles that blow out of the vents are teeny tiny but there are also some the size of quarters. Can anyone hypothesize as to what is wrong and what I can do about it? I called VW and they said basically "To bad, nothing we'll do because your warranty is up!" The car was hardly used-Oh and now I even notice that the fabric on the ceiling of the car (where the inside handgrips are, above the door) is starting to come down tooo!

My first guess is that the Florida heat/humidity broke down the adhesive. Gluing things back in place will be a little tricky but doable. The biggest thing would be making sure to clean out all the old adhesive. You might check with a body shop for some advice on how to proceed, right types of adhesives, etc.
 
They should be able to give you some idea of what you're facing.

2003 VW New Beetle gas gauge by pbrianne
Jan 06, 2009 (3:06 pm)

Bought this car, no problems thus far-and it is really a great car to drive. However, the gas gauge isn't reading correctly. When the tank is full-the gauge reads 1/4 full. The thing is that when it reaches empty-it shuts the pump down "as if" i have no gas (though there is in reality more than half a tank)
 
any ideas? It might be the float-I don't know...

New Beetle - Disappointing and Disfunctional by drosene

I know I will be flamed for this but am I the only one that cannot remember a car (foreign or US) without an accessory position for the Ignition switch?
 
While the original Beetle was faulted for an ignition switch that controlled only the engine and none of the accessories the new Beetle goes to the other extreme by making it impossible to even listen to the radio while parked. Unless of course you want the engine running!
 
I rented a New Beetle while my Mazda 3 is in the body shop in part because my daughter who is about to start driving would like to have one. We both quickly concluded that this is not the car for her. I have to honestly say that I was shocked at the incredibly poor handling and ride of this car. It reminds me of driving a late sixties - early seventies vintage American car, pretty good acceleration in a straight line but watch out when it comes to making a turn or heaven forbid an emergency maneuver!
 
It may be cute to look at but if you want a Volkswagen to drive, for yourself or your child, look at a Jetta or Rabbit.
