You guys are the best ! New Beetle community having this channel is a big blessing ~

[@newbeetlepr]

Thank You! We are New Beetle lovers.

[@chillywilly9573]

Thankyou for the best video I have ever seen on KZbin for Volkswagen repair! You took what I thought was a daunting job and showed me that it's not that bad of a job without all of the technical babbling like on other videos! Again Thankyou!

[@jimmhb1986]

Thank you so much for this. I have been rather nervous about tacky this job. It is over $1000.00 at VW. Now I have the guide thanks to you. Very well done video.

[@Valytuvas1]

Now this is what i call a tutorial! So good. 10/10

[@newbeetlepr]

Thank You!

Great video was very informative.

[@derwisseen5617]

Can you make a video on where to POINT JACK A VW NEW BEETLE pls? No one has done it in the whole youtube game... That would be SOOOO much nice and will help us avoid doing something wrong. Nice video btw

[@glubiix.]

This would be great yea, I didn't find neither a video of that kind....

[@newbeetlepr]

Thanks for the suggestion. I will work on it

[@DiegoCastillo-zi1hn]

Gracias muy buena explicación

[@damnedtexan1976]

What are those plastic pieces at the 14:59 minute mark that go on the sides of the radiator that holds the shroud on?

[@newbeetlepr]

@@damnedtexan1976 This plastic pieces are the radiator brackets that holds the radiator with the support.

[@Neruodiv87]

WHO IN THE HELL DESIGNED THIS CAR. I was about to buy a 2009 beetle that needs a radiator and I am amazed how much work it is to change it.

[@StevenAnderson-co6mv]

Yea that looks rough

[@SimplyMissy1]

I love my 2004 new Beetle but needs a radiator . The shops at $100 for the radiator and $1,000 for the labor😢 My son removed, rebuilt and replaced his diesel Cummings Engine in his Ram truck. By himself. But he will not work on my Volkswagen! He said it's a pain in the ass and you have to take the whole freaking car apart to do one thing. I think it's time I need to ditch this money pit. Even though it's so fun to drive around in my convertible and save on gas over my truck. I think the kids are alright ditch that car mom

[@maikinhosom2203]

Parabéns pelo trabalho Chow de bola 👏👏👏👏👏

[@mesalane6219]

Just when you think the design of this thing couldn't get any worse, you learn what's required to remove the radiator.

[@newbeetlepr]

It's a little project lol

[@65stangrb.s.6]

I just completed this job on my son's 2000 New Bug, I am getting a leak from the top radiator connector, where did you get the O-ring from or what size / part number is it? I am having difficulty locating one. Thank you for the Video btw, it was amazing reference material!

[@erikandersson1647]

The best solution with these beetles, is to immediately drive it to the dump before it is incapable of making the trip and NEVER buy another VW again. (edit - Btw ... This is a great tutorial, even if the car is a complete pile of crap).

[@newbeetlepr]

Thank You! But...this car it's not for all people.

[@chica6152]

What’s the part number to the radiator?

[@newbeetlepr]

1C0 121 253 A. This it's I used for this 1999 Beetle 2.0. I don't know it's compatible for all years.

[@jesus0102ify]

Una pregunta...! No puedo quitar solo la parte de enfrente de mi facia..? Necesito repararla, pero me puse en duda porque también quitaste las salpicaderas, espero me haga explicado, un saludo desde México...!! Muy buen video

[@newbeetlepr]

¡Saludos! Sí es posible quitar solo la fascia pero los tornillos para removerla de las salpicaderas queda en una posición incómoda. Decidí remover todo el frente para evitar que se roturas.

[@bentos117]

is it necessary to empty AC for this operation?

[@newbeetlepr]

It's not necessary. You can remove the condenser from the radiator without removing the hoses. Like I made on this video.

[@DanTheManIOM]

Una pregunta. The O rings on the radiator @12:05 ? There are O rings inside the housings (2006, 2.5). I push down hard, they clip, but then, I test them and they pull right off. Do I need them ? If so, I probably have to push harder ? Thank you for the video. Rebuilding after a friend crashed my bug. Triste.

[@newbeetlepr]

The housing is used? If they right off when you pull need a new one. Tuve que reemplazar uno

[@DanTheManIOM]

@@newbeetlepr no, it's a new radiator. Dang....that's ok, I have not yet put coolant in, I can take it off, again....I am waiting on the second tensioner, the first one (VW) stripped out, the second one was AC Delco, and that broke a tab off. The belt was slack, so a 3rd one is on order. Thank you.

[@newbeetlepr]

@@DanTheManIOM I mean, the hose adapter with the clip. If it doesn't fit in the radiator, it needs to be replaced

[@joeycitarella4308]

I just need to remove the condensor,will it come off with out removing the radiator support?

[@newbeetlepr]

I don't think it can be removed without removing the radiator support

[@kathrynmcmullen2874]

You have to take the whole front end off to get to the radiator?

[@newbeetlepr]

Yes! The only way.

[@kathrynmcmullen2874]

How do you flush it, I'm overheating. And really dont want to do that. New thermostat (another HUH?) water pump still spins finger in thermostat, turn the pulley trick) no steam, oil is good. Fans run. AAARRRGGGHHH

[@kathrynmcmullen2874]

And thank you

[@newbeetlepr]

​@@kathrynmcmullen2874 Go to 6:03 minutes. Remove the used coolant and add clean water to the reservoir with the engine running until the water runs clear. Keep the engine running until all the water is removed. Then add new coolant.

[@derwisseen5617]

What to do after replacing it and putting coolant? Will the engine start normally or take time to start ignition?

[@newbeetlepr]

It's starts normally but need to verify for coolant leaks

[@bobsnyder3309]

You make it look easy but i'm sure i'll do plenty of swearing before i'm done.

[@newbeetlepr]

That's how it is! It takes a long time. It took me two days to complete.

[@cecilioslife7015]

2 questions. 1 do you have to remove the wheels to take the wheel wells out? (I know it's a lot easier without the wheels I just can't lift my car) And 2 about how long does this process take?

[@newbeetlepr]

The difficult part is to remove the screws behind the shock absorber to remove the black cover. You can move the wheels to both sides to have access but I think is very comfortless.

[@saulalemangarcia2987]

Great video. However, you forgot to describe how you must retire wheel arch and wheels. Under this, there are six screws to hold #defense#. Greetings from Canary Islands.

[@newbeetlepr]

Hi! This part is on 0:35 - 2:23. Thanks

[@saulalemangarcia2987]

Great!

Tengo un problema se corriente con El mio 2002 se descarga la bateria de un dia para otro

[@jesusmarioriosm5848]

Puede ser alternador o algun corto vengo saliendo de ese problema.

[@newbeetlepr]

Te recomiendo llevarlo a un electromecanico. El problema puede ser varias cosas como: Batería o alternador en proceso de dañarse, radio defectuoso, alguna luz led que se quede encendida, relay de los abanicos defectuoso o algún otro sensor. Esos son algunos casos que he escuchado.

[@perromion]

Tambien puede descargarse la batería si tu carro tiene el sistema de audio "Monsoon" y cambiaste el radio original por uno diferente. El sistema Monsoon tiene un amplificador que está en la parte trasera, cerca de la cajuela.

[@davekana8388]

I did this in my 2000 TDI 5 speed, a year ago, not difficult just takes time.

[@newbeetlepr]

Completely True

[@linkzard3321]

[@alnal4342]

Great video. I have a 99 beetle auto with 150k. The car will not shift out of 1st gear. Someone told me it might be my shift selenoid. The mechanic is charging me $1000 pats and labor. Is that correct.

[@newbeetlepr]

The car will not shift out of 1st gear or 3rd gear? It start running slowly?

[@alnal4342]

NewBeetlePR 1st gear. It runs slowly and will not shift to another gear.

[@newbeetlepr]

@@alnal4342- Do a scan to discard that it may be a sensor problem. If it is start running slowly may be is on 3rd gear. Check this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXOUepyCariKipY

[@alnal4342]

NewBeetlePR thank you for that video. I’ll order the part and I’ll let you know the outcome. Do I need a vag com to reset the codes after I replace the part. Will it reset on its own? Thanks

[@newbeetlepr]

@@alnal4342 Yes. Need a Vag-com or another scanner to remove the faulty codes.

[@robertheck300]

Lesson of this video ......Never buy a newer VW bug..... Irony is the 70's beetle were air cooled.....no radiator! .....Should have kept it simple.

[@samo0golf]

Real lesson, stay away from European cars

Pienso que tardaste como 2 dias y usando herramienta electrica y tornillos limpios pero sin herramienta electrica y con tornillos oxidados tal vez tomaria 4 dias. y mano de obra minimo 500 dolares por ese trabajo.

[@billeddy3027]

this is bull shit take it out the bottom do not do all this extra work!

[@newbeetlepr]

Do you have any suggestions on how to do it?

[@billeddy3027]

@@newbeetlepr VW Beetle Radiator Replacement 1. Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jack stands. 2. Drain the cooling system . 3. Disconnect the hoses and sensor wiring. 4. Disconnect the wiring to the fans, then remove the screws holding the fans to the radiator and remove the fans out the bottom. 5. Remove screws holding the air conditioning radiator and cooling radiator to the core support. 6. Move the radiators toward the engine, then lower the left side of the radiators then the right side. now you can remove the screws holding the two radiators together. 7. Slide the cooling radiator out the left side. 8. Install is reverse.
