FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - NEW BEETLE VOLKSWAGEN

Quels carburants utiliser dans la Volkswagen New Beetle ?

Selon la motorisation, la New Beetle accepte de l'essence sans plomb (versions 1.4, 1.6 et 1.8 T) ou du gazole (versions 1.9 TDi). Ne jamais inverser les carburants sous peine d'endommager le moteur. La version 1.8 T est compatible SP95 ou SP98.

Quelle est la capacité du coffre de la New Beetle ?

La New Beetle dispose d'un coffre de 210 litres en configuration normale 4 places. En rabattant les dossiers des sièges arrière, le volume utile peut atteindre environ 769 litres. L'accès se fait par le hayon arrière.

Quelle est la contenance du réservoir de carburant ?

Le réservoir de la New Beetle a une capacité de 55 litres. Le voyant de réserve s'allume généralement lorsqu'il reste environ 7 à 8 litres, ce qui laisse une réserve de sécurité suffisante pour atteindre une station-service.

À quelle fréquence faut-il changer l'huile moteur ?

Volkswagen recommande une vidange tous les 15 000 km ou une fois par an. Utilisez une huile conforme à la spécification VW 502 00 pour les moteurs essence ou VW 505 00 pour les diesels. La contenance varie de 3,5 à 4,5 litres selon la motorisation.

Quelle pression de gonflage pour les pneus de la New Beetle ?

La pression recommandée est généralement de 2,2 bar à l'avant et 2,3 bar à l'arrière en charge normale. Ces valeurs peuvent varier selon la version et le chargement. Consultez l'étiquette collée sur le montant de la portière conducteur pour les valeurs exactes de votre véhicule.

Comment réinitialiser le voyant de service (révision) ?

Contact coupé, maintenez appuyé le bouton de remise à zéro du compteur kilométrique, puis mettez le contact sans démarrer. Maintenez le bouton enfoncé jusqu'à ce que l'affichage se modifie et confirme la remise à zéro. La procédure peut légèrement varier selon l'année du véhicule.

Quand faut-il remplacer la courroie de distribution ?

Volkswagen préconise un remplacement de la courroie de distribution tous les 90 000 km ou tous les 5 ans. Ce remplacement est critique : une courroie cassée en roulant peut provoquer des dommages moteur irréparables et coûteux.

La New Beetle ne démarre pas, que vérifier en premier ?

Commencez par contrôler la batterie, souvent déchargée après une longue immobilisation. Vérifiez ensuite les fusibles dans le boitier sous le tableau de bord. Si le démarreur tourne mais le moteur ne part pas, le capteur de vilebrequin ou la pompe à carburant peuvent être en cause.

Le chauffage souffle de l'air froid, quelle en est la cause ?

Cela indique souvent un niveau de liquide de refroidissement insuffisant ou un thermostat défaillant. Vérifiez le niveau dans le vase d'expansion à froid. Si le niveau est correct, un diagnostic électronique chez un professionnel est recommandé.

Où se trouve la roue de secours sur la New Beetle ?

La roue de secours (ou galette de dépannage selon les versions) est logée sous le plancher du coffre. Retirez le tapis de coffre et dévissez le boulon central pour y accéder. Vérifiez régulièrement la pression de cette roue même si elle ne sert pas.

La New Beetle existe-t-elle en version cabriolet ?

Oui, une version cabriolet (code carrosserie 1Y7) a été commercialisée de 2003 à 2010. La capote est électrique et s'actionne via un bouton situé entre les deux sièges avant. La manoeuvre doit être réalisée à l'arrêt, véhicule à l'arret complet.

Quelles sont les tailles de pneus d'origine de la New Beetle ?

Selon la version et l'année, les pneus d'origine sont en 195/65 R15 ou 205/55 R16. Consultez l'étiquette sur le montant de porte conducteur ou le manuel du véhicule pour confirmer la dimension exacte montée sur votre exemplaire.

MODE D'EMPLOI NEW BEETLE VOLKSWAGEN

The New Beetle

and New Beetle Cabriolet

A unique exterior and interior.

New Beetle driving is about enjoyment. So to maximise your enjoyment we thought you'd appreciate loads of great features. Like ESP, power steering, central locking, front electric windows and body-coloured door mirrors with integrated indicators which are also electrically heated and adjustable. The driver's side door mirror is also fitted with wide angle glass to make overtaking safer.
You'll also find a powerful 'Gamma' radio/CD player with six loudspeakers in the New Beetle, and 10 in the New Beetle Cabriolet. It not only provides terrific stereo sound – it also blends perfectly with the New Beetle's dashboard design.

• An extensive list of interior features includes a digital clock and exterior temperature gauge.
• The system maintains the above described temperature parameters.

01 The attractive and durable seat upholstery in ‘Eclipse’ design comes in a range of appealing colours. Interior shown is New Beetle Cabriolet 1.9 TDI.	03 To improve all-round vision, the body-coloured door mirrors are both heated and electrically adjustable. Their simple operation makes adjustment for individual drivers a fast and easy process. These door mirrors also feature integrated indicators to make your intentions totally clear.	06 Amongst its extensive list of features, the ‘Gamma’ radio boasts a single CD player, 30 station presets, a scan facility and Traffic Information Memory (TIM).
02 All models in the New Beetle Cabriolet range have electric front and rear windows as standard. Located in the driver's door, the controls can operate the windows individually or all at once. So it's easy to remove the last barrier between you and the feeling of pure freedom that only a cabriolet can deliver. For comfort and safety the front electric windows feature a one-touch open and close facility and anti-trapping protection, should anything be in the way.	04 The height and reach adjustable steering wheel ensures the optimum driving position.
	05 Manual air conditioning provides year round comfort.
	Standard on 1.9 TDI, 2.0 litre and 1.8T models.

Wherever you sit in the New Beetle Cabriolet you'll always enjoy a comfortable place in the sun. It's all down to ergonomic design – the way that comfort and space are both achieved to maximum effect, ensuring the New Beetle Cabriolet is a fully accomplished four seater. The harmonious blend of design and function is also evident in the dashboard area, where the driver enjoys a clear view of the instruments and will find all controls within easy reach. In fact, all around you'll find proof of the New Beetle Cabriolet's high quality workmanship and attention to detail – even down to the unique vase for your favourite flower.

We hope you'll agree that the New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet are somewhat special when you compare them with other cars on the road today. Their individuality and practical solutions are part of their appeal. For example, as a two door, we designed some special front seats that lift up and away, so it's easy to get into the back. This simple task is almost effortless due to the design detail.
We've also included numerous features for your convenience, such as the two removable cup holders incorporated into the centre console. We allowed plenty of storage space, hence the net pockets on the front doors of the New Beetle, the door pockets in the front of the New Beetle Cabriolet, the document pockets on the rear of the front seats, the glove compartment and the front centre armrest (front centre armrest storage area is reduced if the optional front armrest-mounted six CD autochanger is fitted).
* Some parts of leather interior will contain artificial leather.

Performance-enhanced beauty.

A galvanised body can be admired for years to come.

With the Volkswagen New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet, quality takes on a new importance. Because with a car that looks so good, you'll want to enjoy its classic design for as long as possible. The complete body of both models is therefore galvanised to protect against corrosion. Moreover, your Volkswagen retailer even gives you a 12-year warranty against rusting through.

The excellent build quality of the New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet is evident in many other ways, for example, the narrow and uniform gaps between the body panels. Such precision build is possible because of its great body rigidity achieved through special bonding techniques on areas of particular strain. Close fit panels have numerous benefits including reduced wind noise and improved aerodynamics which in turn lead to reduced fuel consumption. Not only is body strength an important safety measure, it's also key to great roadholding.

Impressive build quality is not only seen, it can be heard and felt as well. Like the sound the door makes as it closes or how the refined interior surfaces are pleasant to touch.

The excellent quality also shows in another, crucial field: repair friendliness. The wings and bumpers are made of resilient plastic and bolted to the body. Consequently, some panels can be exchanged in minutes, for example after parking damage.

01 The narrow tolerances between the panels highlight the exceptional build quality.
02 The use of computerised construction techniques helps ensure the precise fit of every panel.
03 Perfect workmanship provides a perfect finish.

The epitome of modern day safety.

We know you'll enjoy driving the New Beetle, but we want you to feel totally safe and secure as well. The chassis, for example, is strengthened at important points across the bodywork. Such joints absorb energy, and help to keep the inner protective safety cell intact following a collision. You'll also notice that in the New Beetle Cabriolet there's no rollover bar to obstruct the view of the clear blue sky. You can be assured however that it's there if you need it. At the slightest hint of a roll or impact, rollover bars eject from the rear backrests and together with a reinforced windscreen frame provide exceptional protection to passengers.

In addition to front airbags (passenger's front airbag can be deactivated if required), the driver and front passenger have the reassurance of side airbags, an Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP) for exceptional roadholding on poor or wet surfaces and front active head restraints which help lower the risk of whiplash injuries in the event of an accident. The two rear passengers are protected by three-point seat belts and head restraints.
In fact, there are numerous electronic features that are constantly monitoring and assessing the driving situation and they are ready to react in milliseconds should the need arise. We believe that prevention is the safest form of protection. And when you feel safe, you can enjoy the touring experience of the New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet even more.
In addition, there is the innovative Isofix child seat mounting system. This allows children's seats, equipped with the Isofix system, to be fitted securely to the New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet's body via eyes between the rear seat backrest and seat base. Child seats with the Isofix system can be purchased from your Volkswagen retailer.

Cabrjolet models.

02 Ideal for cruising: the 1.4 litre

03 Refinement: the 2.0 litre 115 PS
petrol engine.

The gearbox:

All engines of the New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet are equipped with a five speed
manual gearbox, characterised by a smoothness of operation and powerful acceleration.
Alternatively, with the 2.0 litre engine, you could opt for a six speed automatic tiptronic in
the New Beetle or New Beetle Cabriolet . The innovative automatic tiptronic transmission
gives you the best of both worlds. When you fancy the involvement of a manual, you can
change gear by a simple ‘tipping’ action of the gear lever forwards or backwards. Should
you be faced with city traffic, you can then rely on the automatic function for more relaxed
driving . The automatic tiptronic gearbox even has several mode functions that interpret
your driving style, so should you be accelerating hard it will recognise this and amend the
shift pattern accordingly.

06)	Official fuel consumption according to EU Directive 99/94. The consumption calculation according to 1999/100/EC is based on the actual unladen weight of the vehicle. Additional specifications can lead to a higher weight class and hence to consumption figures of this higher weight class. The driving style, road and traffic conditions, environmental influences and vehicle condition can in practice lead to consumption figures, which may differ from those calculated with this standard.

The Volkswagen Warranty. Three-year Warranty. All Volkswagen New Beetles and New Beetle Cabriolets come with a three-year/60,000 miles warranty, which protects your car against the failure of most mechanical and electrical components due to manufacturing defects. This comprises a two-year manufacturer's warranty with unlimited mileage plus a further one-year/60,000 miles (whichever is soonest) Retailer Warranty. Should the mileage exceed 60,000 miles within the first two years, the manufacturer's two-year warranty will still be valid. If an additional warranty for subsequent years or higher mileage is desired, it may be purchased from an authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer; however, this additional warranty must be purchased before the mileage reaches 60,000*. Full details of the three-year warranty are available from your authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer. * All warranty work must be completed by an authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer. Three-year Paint Warranty. The paintwork of the New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet is covered against manufacturing defects for a period of three years. Naturally, the New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet must be cared for in compliance with the operating instructions which will be found in your vehicle handbook. Please consult your authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer for full warranty details. 12-year Body Protection Warranty. The internal body sections and panels of the New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet are covered against rusting through from the inside for 12 years. Naturally, the New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet must be cared for in compliance with the operating instructions. Please consult your authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer for full warranty details. Approved Accessories. A comprehensive range of accessories from alloy wheels to carpet mats is available to complement the factory-fitted option list. Volkswagen approved accessories purchased from and fitted by your authorised Volkswagen retailer at the point of vehicle sale will also benefit from the three-year vehicle warranty.

Service Intervals. Volkswagen are pleased to offer you a choice on how your New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet are serviced. The appropriate selection is entirely dependent on how the car is likely to be driven and its general use. To help you identify which type of service would be most suitable, please refer to the following guide. The Time and Distance Service is recommended for vehicles that will cover less than 10,000 miles in 12 months and if the vehicle is likely to be used in the following way: • Predominantly urban driving, short journeys with frequent cold starts. • Activities regularly producing high engine loading, e.g. frequent hill climbs, driving with vehicle fully loaded and towing. • Uneconomical driving style using high rpms with heavy acceleration and heavy braking. The service intervals for the Time and Distance Service are as follows: • Oil change service Every 10,000 miles/1 year (whichever is soonest). • Interval service Every 20,000 miles/2 years (whichever is soonest). • Interval service inspection Every 40,000 miles/4 years (whichever is soonest). The LongLife Service is recommended for vehicles with a daily mileage of more than 25 miles where the vehicle is driven regularly mainly on longer distance journeys. The vehicle is driven mainly at a constant speed with minimum vehicle and engine loading, minimal towing and driven in an economical manner. With the LongLife Service the vehicle can cover anywhere between 10,000t and a maximum of 20,000t miles or 24 months (whichever is soonest). † Please note that milestones are approximate as the service indicator system uses kilometres as the distance measurement. Please consult your authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer for advice and full details.

Extended Warranty. You may purchase additional protection from your authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer, or contact 0870 9000 115. Volkswagen Finance‡.
