Check your mass air flow sensor , it take over fuel pump control after the engine starts

Check the wires on the starter and the coil. The starter circuit involves at least these two components.

When the1978 vw super beetle-- fuel injected- is cold it is difficult to start, like it's not getting the gas. Mechanic seems to think that the mass airflow sensor is gone ??? Starts fine when warm.

I have a 2003 VW Beetle Convertible with a 6 speed auto transmission it start to shift hard when the car warms up. do i need a new trannsmisson or is it just a sensor?

I can almost assure you that you need to replace the transmission valve body. It's a $2000 + job by your local mechanic or 4000 from dealer. This is a well known problem with these cars. Ive replaced 2 of them on two different cars in the past year.

2001 vw beetle tdi(deisel) cranks but won't start

It could either be the engine speed sensor or the fuel injection pump. When this happened to me, ofcourse I was in the middle of nowhere. The fuel injection pump needed replacing. To do this they had to also time it... I let vw do this one reluctantly.

2003 beetle convertible top detached from window

My problem has been solved. I contacted the VW Customer Service and spoke with an advocate. The advocate and my dealership reached a conclusion and VW has decided to replace the items to alleviate my problem at their cost. Sometimes, dreams come true. Good luck to all of you who have similar problems with your VW Beetle convertible. It took quite a lot of patience and determination on my part, but the VW advocate was sympathetic to my plight since I'd never taken the vehicle anywhere else but the dealership for all repairs. The repairs have not been completed yet, so I cannot say whether or not the dilemma is, indeed, solved.
