VW dealership told me this week that in about 5 percent of cars, the timing belt will squeel before it breaks. Have you had your timing belt done lately?
If you have a squeeling timing belt, he recommended not driving it or little driving (like to be fixed) until you get it replaced.
I'm new to the Beetle world and don't know alot, but figured sharing the info might help.
