This is perfect timing. I just bought an used Beetle in superb condition. But this one struggles opening the driver side latch and I need to try several times. I am trying to take the latch mechanism out for trouble shooting and your vidieo shows all the steps. Thank you very much!
I’ve just subscribed, I’ve got a beetle too here in the uk. Great video. I’ve just hd to recharge my battery after 3 days without driving..is that normal. What battery does the beetle come with..?
Hello there! I’m honored this video helped! I’m literally going to film a video about everything batteries today. But I’ll share some information up ahead: Yes, Beetles drain batteries over a period of time without being driven. It has happened to mine in just a week of no drive. I believe this has to do with the many computers within the machine. But l’ll research on that to give a better answer. The type of battery used for Beetle A5 (2012-2019) is the type H6 AGM. Be sure it meets with this spec, especially the AGM that is for high electric demands. It’s recommended to always wear protective gear when handling these batteries as they are lead acid and it can be corrosive on skin. Always disconnect the negative terminal first, and then the positive terminal. And connect again the other way around (positive first). I hope this helps. I should have a video about this soon.
Hi there! I can help indirectly. My Beetle is DSG, not manual. However, the Golf and Beetle share many parts! And I believe the Manual Gear Shift knob is no different. I found this video that replaces it on a Golf 6. I believe it should be the same process for a Beetle. I hope this helps! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TcyZTK0s8DM.htmlsi=pJCfeQPR1s0D35Fn
Hi there! Yes! You can replace the window switch without taking the skin off. I didn’t do it because it might’ve been easier? In hindsight, it may have helped to take the skin off. However, I found this video that goes into detail on removing the switch itself. I hope it’s useful to you! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ii47ZhmRrSs.html
