The one on the beetle is on top of the dash just under a access hatch
We had several of the early ones , 2000 and 2002
They seems to be the more reliable

I always wanted a coal powered car .
Now I can get one .
If I wanted a super expensive car that only goes 180 miles before it needs a 3 hour recharge , IF you can find a charger that’s working .
My 06 expedition. With the 5.4 has 150k and just started ticking sometimes on startup .
Hopefully it will last a while longer . It’s getting rusty , hoping the engine will last as long as the body .
Already had the trans cooler line and one brake line rust through
And a rust hole in the...
Yeah
It’s often the throttle position sensor or the mass air flow sensor
One of the podcasts I listen to “under the hood “ had this exact call .
It’s a radio show from South Dakota , so it’s lots of farmers and rural folks calling in asking questions about their 98 Buick or their 93 suburban etc
My 78 Formula had the lame Chevy 305 ,
And it burned oil like you wouldn’t believe , it used a quart every hundred miles .

We have 9 cars for 4 drivers .
I have 3 cars .
My son has three cars , his soon to be wife has two cars , and my wife has one ,
And that’s not counting the wrecked one shoved in the woods in the backyard .
Or the two non runners at my hunting cabin .
