does the footwell of passenger side get wet? the hose disconnects under the carpet there, pull carpet up and simple to fix, if not then hose will have disconnected in ducting on right near back of the engine.

I've never heard of it being ECM, although it could be.

Have you watched to see if the brake lights are working properly? I've had two brake light switch failures in 65 years of New Beetle ownership, and the first indication is it will not shift out of Park with the brake pedal depressed.

Sounds like the timing is getting out of sync. Check the belt for worn teeth or loose ness.

You will have to call up an Audi dealership and give them the serial number and your information on the vehicle. There are steps in the manual on how to enter the 4 digit code. It will happen anytime there is a break in the power to the radio.

Just a suggestion but my guess would be the engine control module. Usually when they heat up, the engine shuts down and when they cool off it works again, until it heats up again, then poof. I sincerely hope that I helped. Best wishes.

You need a new inhibitor switch on the gear selector.

computer has glich ???the control function for the key also opens the windows and roof if fitted ,and something is activating this now their is most likely a sensor that recieves the signal from the key and most likely cause is this sensor.but where it is in the vehicle i havent a clue if you activate this then listen for the relay thats being operated to perform these functions then just remove it and see if windows still open,if they do then problem solved but if they dont then take vehicle to dealers who will have appropiate software.

have heard of this but honestly dont remember much about it as this was many years ago in car rental but if i remember it was to do with resetting the radio ,their was 2/3 settings but to set it ??something to do with audio output for classical music

it will be somewhere near drivers seat but europeon models have a different connector under the bonnet.its the diagnostics connection but forget about connecting it up as machine and software is expensive,leave this to dealer only but yes you should be able to read fault codes but that is about all if your lucky

big problems ,check fuse in panel on dash in the side where door opens ,the fuse concerned is in the middle row about a third of the way down and its a 15 amp ,if its blown change it if it blows again its a dealer only job as the software involved is difficult,the computer for this car is under the passenger floor and if water gets in which it often does as its in a bad situation then expect an expensive repair.If water has got in rectfiy the leak and try to move computer as far upwards as you can on the length of the loom .and let it dry out.then spray the connection block with wd 40 to hopefully stop any corrosion of the terminals from spreading or getting worse.

honestly dont know never taken one off ,should imagine their would be some screws somewhwere around the handle and then plastic studs underneath the panel which you pry out with a nice wide flat screwdriver ,but be prepared for the mastic **** holding panel down

motor could be seized but more often than not its the wires from the car body into the rear tailgate ,their is a rubber cover at the top where the hinges are see if wires are damaged in their.i have often disconnected rear wipers as the owners complain they will not turn off once activated unless you turn ignition off to reset them so remove door panel to check for that after checking wires where they leave car body for the tailgate

I would call the Audi Customer Relations folks at 1-800-822-2834

the dealership
