2004 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible Start Up, Engine, and In Depth Tour

[MsR4YZ]

Have this in red & its the best little car I have ever owned. Totally recommend to anyone wanting a reliable & cheap to run vehicle. Holds onto the New Zealand roads perfectly & bit of a head turner as well (for all the right reasons of course). Just love it & thanks for the indepth tour :)

i own a 2001 beetle with black leather but I asbsolutely love the cream leather interior, it has the nicest and highest quality leather of any car

[ladyyuna2000]

cute Volkswagen Beetle Convertible ^_^

[arenoo911]

Hello I was looking into buying a beetle and was wondering if you think this car is good for a college student tight on money?

[george95458]

@arenoo911 I would recommend a Japanese vehicle over a German, for the fact that maintenance on a German car is overall more expensive, and can be costly when coming to parts. I own a Beetle, i know, lol. But they are fun and cute, but it can be hit or miss with problems with em. some early models are electric gremlins. but mine is a '99 and it is just fine. it all depends.

[Annihilator1111]

the 1997-present Volkswagen Beetle Convertible is assembled in

1997 - 1999: Wolfsburg, Germany

1998 - 2010: Puebla, Mexico

2010 - present: Hai Phong, Vietnam

[impossibleznothing]

i want 1 sooo badly...i just hopeit keeps making it till i start earning and hav enough to buy 1.....lol

[Ferrariman601]

Did they ever fix the ETC sensor problem? If that sensor goes (or if the computer thinks it goes) the engine develops a terrible misfire until it warms up, and even then, it sporadically misfires during normal driving conditions.

VOLKS VAAGAN, DAAS, AUTO!

[Matthew55904]

gas or diesel?

[talldude123]

@Matthew55904 2.5L i5, the only engine they made for the convertible.

[talldude123]

@Matthew55904 They didn't make diesel engines for the convertible.

[acastMusicGirl95]

my aunt just got a car just like this from her son, but he didn't show her how to drive it

so my aunt asked me if i could teach her how to drive stick for this past few months.

...i finally got the time to do so

but i can't start it!

when i put the key in the ignitian the key won't turn

i looked up at some information from the web, yet i still can't figure it out

so

i came to my last resource...you guys ;)

plese somebody help me out!

[rosscoe01]

Hey man press the unlock button the keyfob twice, first time quickly and on the second click hold the button down. This will roll all the windows down before u get in the car. You make a vid of this with any vehicle with a keyfob years 2004 +. This works on Ford, VW, Chevy (some) and Chrysler. Give it a shot!! BTW Nice vid man

[goethe77777777777777]

wow, that damn car was beepin like P.Diddy!

[geniusjonw]

Thanks for uploading this video! I have a 2004 gray VW Beetle with the turbo engine. I don't care if it's a woman's car either, I love to drive it. I don't have the convertible, but I have a sunroof. I love that car and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

[toadetteable]

put you setbelt on

[Goldenrod636]

I know your grandmother has a Beetle. Does she still have it?

[urmomschesthair1]

love your videos... i hate the bug.. but you do a good job here..

[xvrhernandez349]

well the car is german explains the horn,

[talldude123]

Yes, but assembled in Mexico!

[talldude123]

Also, the horn is very 'deep' founding for a VW.

[keviiinn]

why did the car start beeping out of nowhere around 2:15

[yosefwanger]

idk mabey it is still cold

[MVPBallin]

i recommend doing a Q&A video

[1964mm]

That's a more masculine horn than I would have expected in a Beetle or even a VW. Some parts of it closely resemble my uncle's '05 Jetta.

[fordescort98]

You know that you put out the light switch to turn on the fogs right? :) We have a 98 and its a pretty sweet car although due to the fact that it was the first year for them it has alot of design flaws, eg. the power window buttons sticks down, the trunk and gas cap don't always open and the engine light is always on lol :P The newer beetles are 100% better though :) Great vid Kyle 5*s

[1bentley4ever]

The thing I hate about VW/Porsche vehicles is that they beep incessantly, from Audis, to VWs, to Porsches, to even Bentleys and Lambos.

[FantomLightning]

see i like it we had a 1994 porsche 968 and the door chime reminds me so much of the porsche

[1bentley4ever]

It's a better sounding beep than others. Porsches are so awesome. My dream SUV right now is a Porsche Cayenne GTS in Nordic Gold.

[1bentley4ever]

I like the New Beetle, but my favorite of the small 2 door compacts is the Mini Cooper S. I would have one in in British Racing Green with silver go fast stripes down the middle and a silver top. Manual, of course. ;)

[Scott125670]

wow it starts up really quietly.

[cyberboy855]

i dont know if i'd ever own one myself, but luckily i have a friend who lets me drive her 1.8 turbo 5 speed beetle sometimes. it's a fun car if you dont take yourself too seriously.

[chorstma44]

Lol. 5 stars for the mini tach :D

[raejaybigpapi]

They are pretty safe. My mom and i got rear ended by one while backing out of a parking space. Only the left front fender was crushed. It hit us going 25-30. Also type in Volkswagen Beetle unbelted crash test and watch the whole vid. The car barely crushes.

[patrick560sl]

enjoy it while it lasts...that little number will be snatched up soon

[OTHGirlsForever]

thanks a lot kyle! i have always wanted one of these in the sky blue color =)

[stopscrewingaround11]

cute car, although i could never be seen in one.

[1bentley4ever]

@stopscrewingaround11 Would you rather be seen in a Mini?

[stopscrewingaround11]

@1bentley4ever lol, good point.

[1bentley4ever]

Well I certainly would rather be seen in a Mini, IDK about a pink convertible one, though.

[jameswwe2]

I always thought that the engine was in the back of the car for some reason. Guess not

[komododragon2007]

it was in the old ones

[TheGizmo4382]

Cute little car. It did sound like it was running a little rough. I almost thought it was a diesel it was so loud. I'm a guy and I'd probably drive a bug. Not a convertible though, they're kinda girly. If it was a Turbo S, that's a different story.

[talldude123]

Thanks for uploading Kyle! My step-mom has always had VW Beetle Convertibles! First a 2004, like this one, now a 2009. One thing about the new ones, they have different lights and speedometer, and the 2.5L i5. Myself...I don't care if it's a woman's car...I'd drive it!

[saabkyle04]

Anytime my friend, me too! I love beetles, they're such unique fun cars, plus I think it depends on the color your get :P have you seen the W3 (triple white) those are sweet!

[talldude123]

Both ones my step-mom had were sort of a beige/off white color. Really nice, but gets dirty so fast. Thank goodness they are small and easy to clean though.

[102Help]

@saabkyle04 2 things did you know that the word "VOLKSWAGEN" accually means "peoples car" in germen? and i will give you 1,000,000 for that car!

[patrick560sl]

@talldude123 i agree...i totally cruise around in this

[bd398226]

video thing over there problem--------->

i love the Convertibles!

[saabkyle04]

Thanks bro for the heads up! completely missed that haha

[myplymouthvoyager]

[saabkyle04]

[JakeDaSnakeFilms]
