1998 beetle rpms
Hi I'm new to the forum. Just bought a 1998 beetle auto trans with a gas engine. I have question about the rpm's. At 70 mph the tach revs at about 3300. Is this normal? Seems a little high. Also I just had the transmission pan seal and filter? replaced. Thanks for an help you can provide.

Thats sounds normal. Thats about what I run in my 5-speed. The cars are perfectly happy running the high rpms.

That's where i run in my 5 speed also. I posted on a thread titled "RPMs" and it talks all about it. Not sure if there is a thread for an auto but just search RPM and you should find it. My NB likes running at 75 MPH and 3500 RPM. I commute 60 miles one way mostly hwy and average about 33 MPG on my tank.

Interesting...although I'm in a TDI, with my automatic, I'm well under 3,000 rpms when I'm on the highway, cruising at 110 km/h (~70 mph).

I think the beetle has different final drive ratios for different MY/engine which would make RPMs diff as well.
