Three problems related to car stall have been reported for the 2002 Volkswagen Beetle. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The ignition coils on my 2. 0l azg engine crumbled during a tune up,which resulted in a $647. 00 repair bill. New vw ignition coil, spark plug wires and oem spark plugs were installed. Today, 4/26/2013, ignition coil crumbles again during tune up. Vw claims their warranty on parts is 12 months. Vw recalled a ton of ignition coils for 1. 8l engines in the 2001-2003 time period claiming higher than normal failure rates. I would say that one ignition coil every 4 years is a high failure rate as well, considering of the three cars I have currently own (one for 15 years), I have never had a coil fail except for twice for this Beetle. A search of vw owner websites and you tube video sites show a plethora of failed ignition coils and how-to's for replacement of the coil. If this isn't a prevalent problem, why are so many people claiming it happens? it seems that vw is limiting their losses by ignoring these failures.
