| 2001 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION | THE COIL PACK ON MY 2001 VOLKSWAGEN NEW BEETLE BURNED OUT CAUSING ME TO PRACTICALLY STALL ON A VERY BUSY FREEWAY. SO FAR, VW DOESN'T SEEM TO THINK THIS A SAFTEY ISSUE YET AND WILL NOT REQUIRE A RECALL ON THESE PARTS. THESE COILS WILL BURN OUT. NOT IF, BUT WHEN. I WOULD HATE TO BE GOING UP A HILL WHEN ONE OF THESE COIL PACKS GO OUT. |
| 2002 | POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY | THE CLUTCH ON 2002 BEETLE 1.8 TURBO WENT OUT ON MY WIFE ON I-40 IN AMARILLO. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND SHE WAS GOING 30 MILES PER HOUR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE. SHE WAS ABLE TO MOVE ACROSS TWO LANES AND EXIT THE INTERSTATE WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE VW CLUTCHES IN THE 1.8 TURBOS SEEM TO BE HAVING VERY EARLY FAILURE. THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED FOR $1450.00 AND NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I HAVE REQUESTED TO SEE THE OLD PARTS. I HAVE READ THAT THE NEW CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL HAVE DIFFERENT PART NUMBERS THAN ORIGINAL.*AK |
