Common problems with the Volkswagen Beetle 2003?

As with all cars it is important to maintain regular servicing and carry out routine maintenance to ensure that you are driving a safe and reliable vehicle. The mechanics at Auto Studio in Adelaide specialise in European cars, and would love to assist you with all your servicing needs. Here are some common problems that you might encounter with your VW Beetle.

Headlights

There is a chance that you might find yourself needing to change your headlight globes a little earlier than usual. This is a common problem in some Volkswagen Beetles, but usually just a simple globe replacement is required. The mechanics at Auto Studio can check all your lights at your next service, and replace any faulty globes.

Check Engine Light

If your check engine light has become illuminated, it could be due to your engine temperature sensor, it can be common for these sensors to fail in some VW Beetles. Other signs of a problem with the engine temperature sensor can include your engine overheating, poor idling or black smoke. If you have any concerns about your car, then book in to have one of Auto Studio’s expert mechanics isolate any problems and ensure you are driving a safe and reliable vehicle.

Transmission Failure

If you have noticed your car is having trouble switching gears, leaking fluids, has grinding noises or burning smells then it could be a problem with your transmission. Other signs could be slipping gears, shaking and your check engine light becoming illuminated. If you have noticed any of these with your car, then we suggest bringing it and having it checked over to make sure any problems are picked up as soon as possible.
