woodbutcher1953 -> Help! 1998 Beetle Quits Running (1/6/2008 11:46:30 PM)
|
Hello, I've got a 1998 Beetle with 131,000 miles on it. It's the diesel engine. It's always been pretty dependable until approx. two weeks ago. It will die every so often now. It completly loses power and the motor dies. I'll pull over to the side of the road, and it will turn over and try to start just fine, but won't fire. I have to sit for 1-5 minutes, and then it will start back up. I can then drive on until it does it again, sometimes 1 mile down the road, sometimes 50 miles. I always have to wait a short time before it will start again. The only thing I've done to it was to change the fuel filter. I'm hoping someone out there has some miracle cure to help me out so I do NOT have to see the dealer. I'd rather have teeth pulled than deal with those people. But, I'm about ready to take it to them to have them put it on the analyzer. Any suggestions. Thanks alot. I need my bug back. I'm driving a one ton truck to work every day 75 miles. I'd rather use the 50 mile per gallon beetle.
