    Bought my daughter a 2001 New Beetle as she was graduating and entering the work force. Ran great, till it didn’t. Hasn’t started in a month and I’m racking my brain. Does anyone have access to the pin out for the ECM plugs? I’ve already done a lot of work troubleshooting and replacing parts...

    Hi Guys, I'm helping a family member out with their Beetle and we've run into a snag. It's an '07 and has been in storage for a couple of years (not in the best conditions I might add.) Recently when fixing it up and checking out the power top we realized it wouldn't lock all the way down...

    So many Beetles! Not only was the original Beetle the best selling car of its time, there were more than a couple of generations of the car. Today, we'll be covering accessories that you can buy for the mid-generation Beetle because all the most exciting stories start in media res. We are...

    Modern Beetles never had the off-road bona fides of the Type 1 and that makes sense. But as we all know, the most entertaining off-roaders are the cars that were never really designed to go off-road. Enter Baja Bob, TFL Offroad’s latest project car. Based on a 2000 Beetle GLS, it’s been lifted...

    Last week the world said goodbye the Volkswagen Beetle . For the first time since the company began, there is no longer a round little friendly car coming off an assembly line somewhere on this globe. We're not quite ready to say goodbye, and we found two interesting versions of the car where...

    Puerto Rico’s Volkyland Collection is being liquidated. The collection is considered one of the world’s largest of air-cooled Volkswagens and you could be the next steward for one (or many) of these historic cars. The sale is being handled by Oldbug.com and, in case you needed reminding, the...

    I don't know if it's just an American-thing, but we love a great underdog story. Ask your friends what their favorite movies or books are and I bet most center on plucky characters that triumph over all the odds. Rudy, Friday Night Lights, Herbie The Love Bug, A League of Their Own, and even...

    We’re a few weeks away from seeing Volkswagen’s most important model for the North American market: the entirely new MQB-based MK7 Jetta. We’ve already covered the MK1, MK2 , and MK3 models, so let’s take a look at the fourth generation: the MK4. By the end of the MK3 era, Volkswagen's...

    Volkswagen’s attempts to renew the Beetle have never really been as successful as they likely hope. Although the New Beetle saw its fair share of early excitement, neither it nor the new Beetle (uncapitalized) never really captured hearts and minds the way the Type 1 did, few cars, if any, ever...

    Although unfounded rumors of its demise abound, the Beetle is getting a refresh from Volkswagen. New colors and options will allow for more individualization for Beetle owners. Perhaps the most prominent change is coming to the bumpers for the Basic and Design lines, which are flatter and...
