Helpppppp!!!
I live in the Northeast US and we have been having extremely cold temperatures. So when my Beetle's battery would not turn the engine over, I decided to replace the battery.After replacing the battery the car would not run (started but stalled immediately ).
Thinking I had lost the memory I had the car towed to the dealership.
To make along story short--after changing the throttle body, the ECM, and the twelve ground wires, the "Techicians "are still unable to get my car to run properly.
Any Suggestions???

Thanks,
Mikerike

PS car ran fine before changing battery.

would the engine really matter in this case?

it sounds like the electrical system got friend, like the battery let all the power out at once or somethin weird...

didn't they only have 1 engine in 2000?

i know they've got the 2.0 and 1.8t... what else?

(US market)

in the US?

in 2000?

i'm pretty sure they came later...

there's the turbo w/150, the turbo s with 180, the 2.0 and the diesel 1.9....

but in 2000 i don't think there was more than the 2.0 and 150hp 1.8t...

The 2.0 and the TDi came in 1998. The 1.8t wasn't available untill 1999.
