Bad headlight switch is a good possibility.

SOURCE: is a 2003 Volkswagen Beetle TDI diesel a non interference motor

Yes, it is. If you go to http://tdiclub.com/articles/ and look at the "TDI How To" section there is lots of info, and a step by step description of timing belt replacement.

Hope this helps you a bit. If it does, a "Fixya" rating would be much appreciated. If it doesn't
help you, I'd be grateful if you didn't bother with a rating at present - they can't be increased later if I do manage to solve your problem! Just come back and tell me what you found. Cheers, D

SOURCE: 2003 Volkswagen New Beetle, carbon buildup intake

Carbon build up in TDI's is a common problem. The only solution is to remove the intake manifold and clean it. It's very expensive to have it done, but here is a link to a 'how to' that can help you decide if you want to do it yourself or not. http://www.tdiclub.com/TDIFAQ/TDiFAQ-7.html#g

Once clean, using a VW VAG-COM computer the EGR valve can be reset to reduce carbon build up.

I have no power to my headlight fuses on my 2003 vw beetle

Check the headlight relay if its getting power.If the relay is getting power then most provable culprit will be the headlight switch.

My vw 2002 beetle headlight bulb has been replaced and still wont work?

I believe vw uses 4 fuses 2 high beam, 2 low beam, see if high beams work,check for a blown fuse. Another possibility is a corroded wiring harness that plugs in behind the headlight. Unplug and replug the headlight socket a couple times to clean corrosion.

How to replace blub in headlight

The entire headlight comes out from the exterior of the car. When you open your hood, there is a lever that you need to slide up. The light will then pop out and you will be able to replace the bulb and then pop the light back in. You will have to push hard inorder to get the lever to go back down. We had better luck with two of us doing it... one pushing... the other working the lever.

How to take the clear headlight cover off a 99 VW beetle

Check if you have a pull tab. A headlight cover typically has a pull tab molded in it so that you can easily take off the cover when you want to clean it
