Default Andrew's 2000 Silver GLS 2.0

Picked it up today, Feb 1, 2006. This is my fourth Beetle. Second 2.0 / 5-speed / 2000 / GLS even! I have a lot of work to do on this thing to make it "perfect" so to speak, and yet it will remain almost entirely stock.

Today I removed the hoop spoiler that came with it, only two find two massive holes on each side. I will shave those and repaint the hatch here soon. I noticed the intake box was literally shattered in the back, so I found a nice K&N that a buddy had and bolted it on.

A few hours later, I notice idle has become rather rough, and then I get a CEL on.

I also started to polish the intake manifold.

I know for a fact I won't be keeping this long. Just using it for cheap insurance, low fuel consumption, and modest reliability. The next car will get back into the fun stuff.

How about you keep it at least long enough for Bug-a-Paluza!

I hope you get the CEL solved fast and enjoy driving it. Who knows...you just might like this one enough to keep it as a spare car when you buy the next one.

It is having it's camshaft position sensor and timing belt replaced right now. the CPS was causing the CEL, and I know they need to remove the belt to get to the sensor, so might as well get a new one on. $600 the day after I buy it.

There's no apostrophe before an 's' when you're talking about the plural version of a word. "I took some neat photo's!" is NOT correct.

$800 later and the car runs well. Have a few small things to fix (shift boot, tow hook cover, wear on steering wheel spokes), then i'll be listing it in AutoTrader in about a month.

History of helping people, right. I'm right here, no need for speaking in second person, either.
