2001 Volkswagen Beetle Questions & Answers
How to remove oil pan on 2001 volkwagen beetle
I replaced my oil pan on my 2001 Beetle. It was a tough job as two of the bolts are impossible to reach around the gear box. I had to bend some tools and I am very lucky I was able to get that last bolt. It was a frustrating day. If you can affort to have someone replace it for you, you can buy a new pan at Napa.
Beetle 2001 door window goes up half way and comes back down
The window is out of alignment on the tracks. It has a sensor that tells it when there is too much resistance when rolling up, to keep you from getting your fingers smashed if they're in the way. The misalignment is causing too much load on the motor, so it thinks something is in the way and lowers the window back down.
On my car, you can get the window to go all the way up by rolling it up and stopping before it starts to bind, then place your hand flat on the glass and pull toward the back of the car while pressing the button.
The fix is that you have to pull the door panel off, and inside are two large black rubber plugs. Remove them both, reconnect the window switches, then lower the window to the point where two bolts on the frame at the bottom of the glass are visible through the holes. Loosen the bolts and adjust the position of the window, then tighten them again. Verify that it rolls up and down without binding; if not, repeat the adjustment procedure until it does.
Reinstall the rubber plugs and replace the door panel. Unless there's something mechanically broken inside the door tracks, you should be good to go.
