Hi! I am new to the forum and site! Thank you all for being out there!!
I had my TDI 2013 Beetle Convertible upgraded to meet the regulations. Since having the upgrade, my beetle is not the same. I am curious if anyone else has experienced issues with performance as the dealership keeps insisting the issues have nothing to do with the upgrade.
My beetle is a manual transmission, and it is experiencing what I believe to be performance issues. The beetle stalls out and is struggling to start in am. I park it in a heated garage. There is an underlying rattle noise. And, the most noticeable issue is when driving and trying to maintain a consistent speed, the beetle is ‘struggling’ or ‘lurching’ as if it has no fuel or too much fuel, and it will stall out.
I have had the beetle back to the dealership 3 times. Only to have it returned to me twice, stating there was nothing wrong with the beetle. I was finally able to duplicate the consistent speed issue to the dealership this past visit. They agreed to a performance issue and have no resolution as of today. They are bringing in a specialist on Monday. I am concerned.
My beetle has had zero issues until the emission upgrade. Has any other owner experienced a similar issue?
Any suggestions, comments welcome.
