So yesterday I broke down brought a 2012 beetle wIth 27,900 miles on it. I had to get rid of my 2006 convertible beetle because it started to give me problems after the vw dealer put on the valve cover the car start blowing out smoke from the exhaust and kept taking it back and the problem was never fixed. But I still have my 2008 triple white bug.
I have had a total of 5 beetles. 2001 and 2003 turbo, 2006 convertible, 2008 triple white and 2012 bug. Below are pics of my bugs
Really going to miss my 06 vert but I had to get rid of it because once the dealer replaced the valve cover noting black black smoke started coming from the exhaust after they replaced and I kept taking it back to the dealer and they claimed they couldn't find anything wrong. Took it to another dealer and they said it was the pcv valve. So had that replaced and it stopped smoking for a few days but then it started up again. No engine lights were on.
The day I traded in the red bug.
My current bugs! I will take pics of the two together this week.
Thank you! I recently sold my triple white beetle and brought a 2013 VW Passat! Miss it but needed a bigger car. So now I just have my 12 beetle and the Passat!
Nice beetle! I love those heritage wheels What engine did you get in the Passat? I'm thinking down the road that may be my next car, that or a jetta or sport wagon, all in diesel of course
Thank you! My 04 Passat had a 1.8TL engine. My 2013 Passat is a 2.5! Wonderful car and it's amazing how huge back seats are in the passage. I'm 6'2 and I can sit back their comfortably. I no longer have the 2004 Passat.
Brought a spoiler for my car! Paid 160 bucks for it with the paint. Spoiler is really 71 bucks but I paid for faster shipping since it's coming from China. Comes with 3M automotive double sided tape. The tape is very strong.
The new wheels and spoiler, really made a huge difference, in the look of your Beetle! I thought; it looked a little bare and needed something to set it off nicely! It looks like; your wheels/wing; have really helped! What do you think? Are you happy with the results? I'm sure; a set of "R" style bumpers; would be temping but not a cheap upgrade!
Thank you! I agree it did look bare and I'm very happy with the outcome. I would love to upgrade to the "R" style bumper and I probably will sometime this year or early next year.
Haven’t been on here in 5 years. I brought another beetle after not having one since 2016. I realized I missed driving a beetle. I now own a 2012 vw 2.0T beetle. This is my 6th beetle.
