I am going to buy a 2002 New Beetle

I am purchasing a 2002 New Beetle.

I don't know beans about cars. I am auto-impaired, big time. ( I am 71 years old, if you'll accept that as an excuse.)

RE: regarding my intended purchase I have been asked (by friends) if it has AWD -- I dunno. Does it? (I guess I should ask the place I am buying it from, right>)

It is automatic transmission is all I know. My wife wouldn't get in it until she knew it was automatic.

Anyone have the 2002 Beetle? Any comments, tips, suggestions, etc.?

Thanks,

Welcome Donald,

she will not be AWD (all wheel drive).

you may have a 2.0L engine or a 1.8T engine,

this yoy would have to ask who you are buying it or bought it from.

they should know.

as for help you have come to the right place.

volkshaus,

Thank you for the speedy reply.

The 2002 NB is now mine.

I live in rural Nebraska and the nearest VW dealer is 300 miles away. I mean it's not like I live in Mayberry or anything, there are all the usual car dealerships; Ford, Honda, Chevy, Nissan, Chrysler, etc., here, just no VW dealer, that's all.

Due to several constraints, I am unable to drive those 300 miles every time I need to have the oil changed or have the vehicle's various fluids replaced or refilled. Same goes for lubrication.

Is there any manual that I can get to give to my local mechanic(s) for him to perform the above mentioned tasks?

Thanks,

DonaldS
