Hi guys, I've got a 98/99 (built 10/98 reg'd 31/12/98) 1.9 TDi Bug, who used to live in Texas, but is now living in the UK with me.
Anyway, I bought him last year and we discovered the air con wasn't working because the condenser has a hole in it... so I need to buy a new one. I have a problem tho - because I have a personalised number plate, and he's an import, VW can't pick him up on their system and the vin number seems to confuse their system into thinking he was built in 2007.... so I can't get the correct part number for the condenser. So does anyone know what the part number is? Or can point me in the right direction? Cheers *Lucy*

Thanks
I didn't import him myself - he was imported in around 2000 and I got him last year. I'm not too sure why they did it - perhaps the TDis came out over there before the ones in Europe? I dunno... so far he's the oldest TDi I've found in the UK ![]() If anyone from Texas (he came from the dealer in Houston) recognises him, lemme know cos I'd like to know more about him! He currently looks like this, altho he has changed a hell of a lot since I bought him! ![]() ![]() *Lucy* |

He's a very late 98 - 99 model year really. But I call him a 98 cos it sounds cooler
Yeah I don't know if for sure - but I haven't found an older one as of yet. |

Good news, and not so good news. The good news is that the same condenser was used on all New Beetle TDI, and 2.0L from 98 to mid 02 (thru chassis number 2_499000).
The not so good news, I seem to have lost the part number. I also have a 98 TDI that had a hole in the condenser. It was up top near the dryer.

Cheers for that - they should be able to find a 2.0 on their system. We didn't get TDis over there till around 2002
all the others are imports (like mine).*Lucy* |
