[@ronniebaca]

Thank you for this ! I literally just made it home my radiator cracked on the bottom and was leaking fluid , thanks to you I can save $ and replace it myself 👍🏼✌🏽

[@arielaceves5806]

Thank you for posting this video, it was such a relief to see your video! I have been working/learning on my daughters Beetle/Headache ever since she bought it after I told her NOT to buy a bug. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

Ariel Aceves , your welcome , yes the vw bug is a bit much it seems like even the simplest job seems to be WAY over engineered, lol let me know if i can help you

Nice information. Our 2001 VW Beetle has had a very slow leak that we did a lot of minor leak repair. Only to find it's still leaking, but now it's at the left lower edge of the radiator. Just a slow weep seep... Probably could dump some of the silver core repair and get away with it. But the radiator is only about $55 bucks off eBay or Rockauto has some decent ones at a reasonable cost. I'll be doing ours in a week or so. (plenty of time, I"m furloughed from my job until the pandemic crap is done with) I really appreciate the information given. Looks rather like a PITA, but it's a VW! I like the car, so we're going to fix it.

Great video man! I really appreciate it! My daughter hit a deer in her beetle and busted up the front end and radiator. This video was really helpful. Thanks! PS- GREAT JOB JENNIFER! :)

[@mauricechavarry6439]

Thanks for the video. I will be working on my daughter's 2002 VW beetle today. I plan on replacing upper and lower hose, as well as the fans. She damaged the front end in an accident (5-15 MPH and jacked up the front).

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

+Maurice Chavarry If you have any problems or questions, just let me know. I understand wanting to punch it too. LOL!!

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

C 19 Hey Buddy, unfortunately yes but its not really that big of a job, it just seems like it is. You can get everything off in a couple of hours. If you need any help, just let me know.

[@karlos6628]

JamieJones TheCarMan-ok my friend-thanks very much. will keep that in mind , not so sure if the radiator needs to be replaced yet.

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

C 19 No rproblem at all. Happy to help out!!

[@claycanplaytv]

thanks for the video, i had to replace my condenser, and radiator housing on my 2002 beetle tdi because i hit a raccoon, and this gave me the heads up on what was involved, took care of it today, Thanks again

[@iamdestinybound]

I enjoyed watching your video. The reason I watched it, is because I was told that one would have to remove the bumper on my 2004 VW Beetle to remove the Headlight Assembly. True or False? Next part of my question... Could you remove the bumper without removing the Headlight Assembly? I recently had our car repainted and the excuse as to why they painted on my headlamps was that they didn't want to remove the bumper so they just taped around it. The driver side headlamp they didn't "set" it because they said that it wouldn't go in without removing the bumper. Thank you for your valuable time.

[@earlwright3613]

I'm changing one a 1999 tomorrow, and I appreciate this video. So I just need a 10mm ,13mm, 18mm, and a t24 torx. The shop was gonna charge her $700 just for labor. So I figured 300 should be good?

[@mjasenn]

nice video. doing my mom's 99 beetle next weekend.

[@madsurgin]

Thanks for the video I got to do the same thing to my daughter car love those German cars I want to put her in a General Motors but her mother and cyst on her having this car 114000 miles and everything's deteriorating car always been on the west coast so I got to get started thanks for the video because she want her car back asap cuz she got to go to a party

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

+madsurgin lol you gotta let me know how it turns out

[@surginalmurphy6173]

Thanks again for the video that it done almost broke my finger taking out those headlights

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

+Surginal Murphy No problem at all. Take care of those fingers though man. LOL!!

[@karlos6628]

great team !!

[@matthewsimpson7339]

thanks. i wondered how to get that bumper cover off. how many more screws to lift the body off?

[@bkbeck1]

great video thanks! now off to order radiator for our 2000 beetle

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

+Beck B not that bad of a job but it takes awhile

[@austingode]

Thanks 🙏 for the tutorial.... my radiator is gone in the same area I don't have it out yet but it seems the steel that crimps the rad together touches the aluminum of the fins ... and that produces electrolysis...seems strange that a modern rad that has only ever had antifreeze in it should suffer this problem but they only cost 50 60 bucks so armed with vid I will go for it .. cheers 🍻

[@RogueAgent711]

Thanks for the upload my friend! Helped a lot!

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

+TheDrGoldeneye need anything let us know

[@xzqzq]

I have a 2003 New Beetle: primary fan has major short, want to swap it out for another non-VW fan I have laying around.... Is it better to pull radiator / fans as a single unit, install new fan, and reinstall radiator / fans ? Not much room behind radiator for my XXL hands. Tks.

[@darrenkeeling8970]

What is the silver canister connected to the radiator?

[@ChuckWatson6364]

thanks for the video. I wish I would have finished watching it yesterday before I disconnected the AC line on the bottom of the radiator. now I know I need to take off that small screw and could have not touched the AC line. scared the hell out of me when it blow off....smh.....I knew better but was just annoyed with this damn car.

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

lol a/c line will get your attn quick

[@kimbojanbranyan6352]

Thank u Jamie im going to try this.

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

[@lrparker95]

Can you post a video on how to get the front clip off?

[@dimitrisvrontakis960]

can I ask you something?....Why i don't have power on the cable on injection pump...dont start the pump ...I have alote of White smoke...and and stop the Machine when it's overheating...beetle 2001 turbo 2.0..thank you..

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

most likely bad head gasket , the pump not related

[@omarflores323]

thanks for this video man! I knew my radiator was missing something and i just couldn't figure out what it was.. seems like what i need is a "radiator support".. it all started cuz i just bought a beetle and it doesnt have a splash shield. therefore it'll turn off when it rained.. finally bought now and i coudlnt figure where it went.. i just knew i wasnt missing something but ddnt knw what. THE RADIATOR SUPPORT!! lol.. its 5am in tx and as soon as the sun comes out im out to the store.. hahaha..

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

Omar Flores LOL..good luck my man!! They are always tons of fun when you buy what you think is a whole car and it turns out that you only have 90% of the pieces. Haha, let me know how it worked out for you and if you need any help just let me know. Thanks for the comment and very happy to hear that the video helped you.

[@danwambo365]

Omar Flores Hey what did you buy to fix that problem because im having the same problem! haha and its really effecting the efficiency of my car.

[@omarflores323]

Well, mine would turn off cuz it didn't have the SPLASH SHIELD. The reason the shield wasn't there was because the radiator support wasn't there and the shield goes assembled into the radiator-support frame.. but you're radiator-support is fine you don't have worry about it.. just check for the splash shields.. there's one for the motor and one for the tranny I THINK. I'm a musician not a mechanic.. lol... but yeah, putting the splash shield on fixed it...

[@danwambo365]

How much did it cost you to get it fixed? And is splash shield the technical term for it because I'm trying to find it online and I'm not finding it, but at least it's nice to find someone who has the same problem as I do haha

[@G1NUGGET1]

followed your video! perfect! THANK YOU! now I have question I see what appears to be an A/C radiator in tandom with coolant radiator is this a 1 radiator or 2 seperate parts to have to purchase?

[@deasttn]

Does the beetle have a radiator cap?

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

No

[@deasttn]

@@jamiejonesthecarman thanks. Good to know, because I losing my mind trying to find it. With the beetle, I figured it might be under the driver's seat or something 😀

[@imyourocd]

260.00 for spark plugs, 360.00 for a upper radiator hose does that sound right?

[@joat9105]

hahaha some mechanics told me that it such a pain to replace the radiator on a beetle, i believe it now

[@MrJotarubis]

Good. Thanks friend.
