Car: '99 Black Bug
Talking My New Bug

Hi, My name is Luna Faye. I just got a '99 Black Bug. (Yay!) My very first car was a tan '69 Bug, so when I was recently in the market for a new car and saw this one, I just HAD to get it. It's only got 58K miles.

Unfortunately, it didn't come with an owners manual. So I have a few basic questions.
What are all the lights on the dash?
Are the new bugs front or rear wheel drive?
How many gallon tank does it have?
How do I get the temp reading to F from C?
Also is the temp reading for inside the car or outside?

Thanks for any help.

Luna Faye

Thanks for the info.

I thought of a couple more questions.
What is that little hole on the dash just to the right of the steering wheel?
Also how many A/C outlets does VW think people need??? (Even one in the trunk?)

Welcome to the Org!

The little hole...are you maybe talking about the bud vase? You can kind of see my vase here. It's to the right of the steering wheel.

Answers... welcome to the ORG!


What lights?

front wheel drive

~13-14 gallons

Hold down the hour and minute buttons for ~5 seconds and this will change the display to F or C.

Reading is for outside temp. Sensor is near the fog lamps/front bumper.
