Setting idle speed on a 2001 vw beetle 2.0-

2001 Beetle GLS 2.0 Overheating- Two weeks ago the
It is possible that the pump failed because of an overheating problem. Make sure the fans run by turning on the air conditioning. They should operate as soon as it is turned on. Bad fans are a common problem. The pump should not have been leaking after replacement though. Make sure you have no leaks first and foremost. Then make sure the fans work. There is also a fan control module located in the area under the battery, but it is difficult to properly diagnose. If the fans do not turn on with the a/c, you can jump the wires at the thermo switch. One should be power, and when you jump to one wire they should go to low speed, the other high.

2001 beetle passenger door wont lock
You may want to check your wiring harness to that door. The harness runs along the door frame, by door hinge area and it's inside a rubber boot. Most common problem is that a few wires break due to heat and age. If wiring is broken, repair wires if possible. If not possible to repair, recommend you replace the complete harness.
If you are mechanically inclined, you will need to remove the inner door panel to access the harness. Once you have the harness removed, there is a label that identifies the part number for this harness. Good luck and hope this resolves your problem.
