Airbag light came on and stays on constantly on a 2000 Beetle. There are too many complaints about the problem wiring under the seat causing the airbag light to stay on. . . This should be the subject of a recall investigation!.
Problem with the 'engine check light'. First came on at about 3k miles. Dealer spent four hours and made a comment about the fault code being associated with the idle speed (yeah right). They fooled with it , reset the computer and sent me away. Now it's back on again. I have noticed that the light goes out but then re-appears again. It's back to the dealer again. If anyone has an absolute solution, I'd love to know so I can tell the dealer what to look for.
While driving engine check light and temperature light came on. Then smoke came from under the hood. When this happened, car had to be towed to nearest vw dealer. Dealer said that both electric fans needed to be replaced. There was a kink in the wire of one of the fans that caused it to fail. Both fans basically melted and blew apart.
Dashboard gauges/indicators malfunctioned, air bag light, tripometer etc. Yh.
