fisrt make sure the coolant is circulated , by checking two hose from radaitor if same tem(with yourhand only). or not . if there is difrent . first check thermo valve you can boil it and look if it's working or not . if it;s ok check water pump .remove it out and check .
I accidently put super unleaded gas.on my VW
That is not a problem it is actually recommended that you use premium 93-94 Octane fuel, if you put turbo blue (115) in it that would be a problem but 93-94 octane is the VW recommended fuel type.
I lost my key
Go to a dealership with your title, VIN, and photo ID and they can make you a new one.
Car overheats light comes on
Hello and welcome to FixYa!
If you have overheating problem, it can lead to multipleissues. You may be running on low coolant that's why the vehicle overheats. Ifthat's the case, please add coolant and make sure that it sits on the rightlevel, too much coolant can cause overheating too for coolant will overflow.
The vehicle may have a faulty or worn out radiator blowermotor that's why it overheats. If that's the case then you will need a blowermotor replacement to resolve the issue.
If the radiator is clogged with dirt and rusts this issueoccurs too. The coolant doesn't flow normally on the cooling system if it'sclogged. If that's the case, I strongly suggest that you have the radiatorflushed to drain out dirt and rusts. If you think that the radiator served youenough then it's better to have it replaced.
Please do check the radiator hoses, If you have worn outhoses it can cause coolant leakage which can result to overheating. A tiny holeis good enough for the vehicle to overheat.
A faulty thermostat sensor can cause the issue too. If youhave worn out thermostat, the fan may not trigger that's why the fan won't workwhen under stressed conditions. A blown radiator blower fuse can cause thisissue too so I suggest that you check the radiator blower fuse and replace itwhen necessary. What causes the radiator blower fan fuse to blow? It's becauseof a failing radiator blower motor, If that's the case have the radiator blowerfan motor replaced.
If the fluid in radiator doesn't circulate then it meansthat you have a blown head gasket or a faulty water pump. I suggest that you gofor the water pump replacement first specially if you think that it's near theend of it's service life. Usually, water pops out the radiator when engine isreved (a sign of faulty water pump and possible blown head gasket).
Hope you find this information helpful enough and thank youfor using FixYa! Have a good one!
Volkswagen Diesel
according to haynes beetle repair the code is turbocharger boost pressure control valve positive deviation. to trouble shoot
check the wiring, connecting pipes.using a hand held vacuum pump apply vacuum to the wastegate actuator,(with engine not running) check the actuator arm and lever for freedom of movement , disconnect the electrical connector from the boost pressure control valve. using an ohmmeter check the solenoid windings for an open circuit, the boost pressure control valve should measure about 25 to 35 ohms if excessive resistance or open circuit is indicated replace control valve.
a scan tool is required for a complete diagnosis of the system control circuits some may be rented from a local auto repair store hope this helps and norrows it down for ya
NEED TO REPROGRAM RAIDO AFTER BATTERY DIED
IMPORTANT NOTE:
You must have the security anti-theft code for your VW radio from the car manufacturer, or from an Volkswagen dealer!
You can find the radio code at: http://www.radio-code.co.uk/
The sequence of programming for a 2000 VW Beetle radio Gamma is:
1. Push simultaneous "SCAN" and "RDM" keys until on the screen will appear "1000" displayed.
2. Release keys. No more push on "SCAN" and "RDM" keys because otherwise number "1000" will be considered as first safe code attempt.
For example: we have the security code "5079". Then:
3. By the no.# 1 key you will set up the first safe code digit. Push 5 times on the no.# 1 button. The "5" number will be setted.
4. By the no.# 2 key you will set up the second safe code digit. Push 10 times on the no.# 2 button. The "0" number will be setted.
5. By the no.# 3 key you will set up the third safe code digit. Push 7 times on the no.# 3 button. The "7" number will be setted.
6. By the no.# 4 key you will set up the four-th safe code digit. Push 9 times on the no.# 4 button. The "9" number will be setted.
7. Then push again simultaneous "SCAN" and "RDM" keys for confirm this safe code. On the screen will be displayed "SAFE" notice. Release keys! For few seconds a radio frequence will be displayed. The radio is now ready for use!
Warning light on bottom left
It's an yellow warning indicator lamp. It lights when front brake pads are weared. Now it's time to replace used brake pads!
2002 deisel TDI Beetle -
Two reasons that I think needs to be checked. I have seen that you are systematic to do the work and presume that the parts replaced is the original and not a similar replacement. If so the quality of the part may not confer with the manufacturer's design therby reducing the life.
Secondly if the engine is heating up to a level MORE than required, then it might exceed the threshold level of the thermostat and so damage the unit. It is important that the timing of the engine, the condition of oil, coolant must be checked and replaced.
Finally Volkswagen will only be too glad to check this fault if this is reported to their customer care and more specially because of the fact that it is a repeat case.
I would request you can post a mail to the customer grievance cell to give you explanation or technical support.
Car shuts off while driving
***
Don't know if this has anything to do with your problem, but it could be worth a try.
My 2001 turbo had a similar problem when it was low on oil.
The oil light never came on, but it was low enough to cause it to stall.
Seems there has to be enough oil circulating on the camshaft (I think they told me the camshaft, now it has been so long that I am not positive).
Either way, a quart and a half of oil solved my stalling problem.
And the problem got bad enough before I had it towed to the VW shop that it wouldn't start, very much like it had a dead battery or an electrical (starter/ignition) problem, but i still had plenty of power for horn, lights, radio, etc.
Hope this helps!
Peace,
Rob

Car will turn over but will not start without
Have the charging system, battery and the starter checked. If the battery is weak it won't be able to supply enough power to turn the engine over and power the other electronics at the same time. The same is true if the starter draws too much power. When you jump it you are giving enough power to overcome the problem, this will come to the point that it won't start at all.
2002 VW Beetle 1.8T\r\nRemoved horns and tested
Generally the steering wheel boss switch does not wear out (the horn is not over used!). I would check the fuses and then the relay and if they look OK check the wiring form the relay to the horns for continuity. Use a voltmeter to check that voltage is being supplied to the relay when the horn switch is pressed. Then check that voltage is being output by the relay in response to this voltage input. If this all looks OK then there is some kind of break in the wiring to the horn unit
