Also had a problem with a bad ECU but it was with 2 cylinders though...... also could be a injector but these don't go out that bad but could....


I work on these for a living as most our customers own audii and volks and from me working on about 4,000+ of these cars i can tell you first hand they are crap , hope you think about a better car next time though....... I have seen some run really well and last alittle while, but rare... They have a lot of problems

tranny,axles,wiring,coil packs,maf,turbo,cats,etc you name it I fixed it before on these cars...

Only thing I can nOT seem to fix is the beetles crayon smell ! lololol


Hope some of my info will help you , but I can also tell you the parts are not cheap either

Yeah this is just gonna be a toy so I don't mind little problems here and there. If it tears up I will just build the shit out of it when i get back from Iraq.
