Aonarch's Beetle; The Saga Begins

[Aonarch]

Just heard a friend of mine is getting his Beetle replaced.

Sigh. 2013's are already out yet there is no fix. Are they trying to ruin their reputation?

I heard they have the fix, new better motors, but they are waiting for stock. My dealer said they are on national back order.

Where are you getting your information from? Was by my dealer today and they told me still no fix.

Some of the dealers in Michigan have the new motors, that is all i can say. I know one of them. They are waiting for a shipment.

We were at the stealership monday and they said they are still working on it and no fix yet.

Finally drawing to an end. Picking up my replacement car Monday.

I'm glad I didn't ask for a 2013, since they still have the windows issues.

How did you know if they do still have the issue. What are you getting?

I bet he's getting a JSW TDI

Monday?

Yeah I know bummer... I have to take off even more work. They were completely inflexible on the time and date.

The 2013's are out but VW hasn't released the new fix yet. They are currently testing their new motors.

[Aonarch]

And this Saga has ended...

Picked this up on Monday.

I read through all 10 pages and I am happy to hear that the situation has been resolved. I loved my JSW TDI and I do miss it, but I traded it for my Beetle. I have had a minor window issue...and I do have some paint peeling on the back bumper seam between it and the fender, but other than that I am crossing my fingers everything will stay true and maybe get a window fix. For now, though I don't want them to touch it for fear of chaos. I will address the paint issue though bc that is BS. Anyways, safe travels with your JSW!!!

Thanks for the kind words. I am very happy with my JSW, but I do miss the Beetle. The interior and exterior design is fantastic!

New thread in the JSW section. Plan on the first extensive round of mods in a few weeks.

Thankfully something small... Rear view mirror was not staying up, basically it was drooping down... yet of course was not noticed in the PDI.

I have OCD TOO, when u ad bi-polar, it creates tons of mods. I feel 4ya.

Anything less would be uncivilized or Un-Volkswagen or something in that vain.

When I picked up my '01 NB, the passenger seat heater wouldn't turn off and smoke came out of the switch gear.

It sat at the dealer for 1 month waiting for the regional tech to check it out. They gave me a loaner (Golf then Jetta), an extra set of floor mat, free tint job and car bra/mask... altogether about $450 worth. It's good that the damn thing has been reliable; it just hit 205k... KNOCK ON WOOD. I'm still in consultation with my Astrologer and Herbal Medicine Woman with regards to buying a Beetle. She said, "the stars won't line up till 2015." What???

Enjoy the awesome fuel mileage!!!

[Aonarch]

I remember the heated seat issue, it was with Audi as well.

You should get in on another pre-sale for the LED headlights. Love those things and wanted them for mine. Also the Votex (or replica) side skirts, front lip, etc.

Planning on it.

Just finished the thread. I'm thoroughly impressed with how calmly you dealt with the entire process, and it's really nice to see you get the result that you wanted in the end. Guess I'll be heading over to the jsw area to subscribe to a new thread. Hope this one treats you better
