Car ran great for the first 60,000 miles.
Now I am having all sort of "electrical-type" issues. The blue "cold engine" light stays on all the time and I live in Florida! Now the check oil PRESSURE light keeps coming on and off.
Can't find anyone to repair.
Dealers are horrible.
I won't buy another Beetle because it is way too hard to find anyone who can services these vehicles and the dealers are not effective.
These comments were great. because I live in Houston and I am having the same electrical malfunctions after it passed 60,000 miles. Thanks for the info...
The light staying on all the time is a sensor. It does not mean that the car is cold. Dealer cost is $87 to repair this issue. The oil light is surprisingly linked. If that sensor goes bad, chain reaction and everything else starts to freak out. Dealer won't want to tell you this. Best way to repair these issues is to first go to several small competing import repair garages and get your OBDII comp checked out at at least two places. You could also go to an Advance Auto just to try to see if they'll check it, but since I have a Turbo S they didn't have the connector. If you have the same thing at both places, check the recall status on Google. That's how I found all the problems that my car had, and how to address them without being lied to by the dealer. Knowledge is power!
