When you say it wont start do you mean you turn the key and get nothing or you turn the key and the engine turns but wont start or what? Did it die when you hit the hole or just not start later? It may be the neutral safety switch if it just wont start
Probably something got loose after hitting the bump.
Check the fuel pump, maybe a fuse got loose or burn, or maybe there is no electricity running to the fuel pump.
Well the code 101 is for the MAF sensor and code 341 is for the cam sensor if equipped. I'm showing a distributor for that engine so its possible something is going on inside of it. My first guess would be something in the engine harness that was jarred loose. You might have to test the circuits at the ECM to see if anything is not making the circuit back to it. If the engine won't idle and the MAF code is present, you could have a large vac leak somewhere.

Hi,
The possibilities are too numerous to get into here.
Either take your vehicle to AutoZone for a FREE diagnostic scan or they'll loan you a scanner. This will enable you to pinpoint the problem(s) almost immediately.
Can you give me some more detail. What troubleshooting has been performed so far? Any error lights showing on the dash? Any symptoms of poor running prior to the bump? Any recent work or servicing carried out on the car?
I know its a Beetle but what is the engine size and exact version? Manual or Auto?
I would say that you are on the right track , I think that maybe when the work was done on the fuel pump assy the mechanic may have pinched the power wire and hitting the bumps has caused it to short.you will have to take the seats out again (sorry).You need to look for a damaged wire or evidence of arcing .Hope this helps.
