After some long thought and prayer I was able to trade my 99 Beetle for a 2015. The only drawback with this one is it is not a TDI but I need something I could depend on. I thank everyone for their help with my 99 TDI Beetle. The salesman said that he had never seen a car with 352500 miles "He...

It did not fix the problem, I had the auto parts guy check and his meter siad the alternator was good (changed it about two years ago). The funny thing is after jumping twice it won't do it for a week (roughly). Will check again never know

Still have electric issue Driving lights not working, left brake light also. Yesterday I changed my starter and now my dome (interior lights work) any suggestions will be deeply appropriated. Changed the relay for driving/head lights no improvement

I don't remember the code it's been a while

The engine light has been on for a while (also airbag light). The code was something for the EGR system. The car ran good and is still getting 40+ mpg. Changed a few things and most of the vacuum lines but still the same code.

Two Thursdays ago my Beetle gave trouble starting once the Glow Plug light came on it started. It did good all day stopped and started five or six times, then nothing. Again the glow plug light did not come on. I changed glow plugs today turned the key light came on but plugs were not connected...

EGR question Been having the service engine light on but still runs good, check codes said it was EGR system. Yesterday I checked voltage and found that I am getting low voltage to all parts of the system. Looking for advice as to what would cause low voltage to EGR system?
