We were told by our vw service the beetle is made to have lifetime tranny fluid, therefore there is not a dipstick or a fill area. It is all self contained and has to be filled by service through the tranny drain/pan under the car.
pick it up and look at it's little dipstick!!
Gas: 5W30 synthetic, gasoline-rated oil. Diesel: 5W40 synthetic, diesel-rated oil.
According to the owner's manual, 4.4 quarts if the filter is changed also.
whos the dipstick? monkeys smell better than u!!!!
It is facing to the rear end of the car on the oil pan. You will have to lift your car and get under it to be able to see it.
If it is an automatic, the fluid should be at operating temperature. The transmission in park and the engine at idle. Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry and check the level. Do not overfill.
For an accurate reading, after the car has been sitting level and cooled off, open the hood, locate and remove the engine oil dipstick (should be on the drivers side of engine). The dipstick will be marked where the full line and add line is. The engine oil level should be anywhere between the full and add mark. Add one quart of motor oil to the engine if level is at or below the add mark.
There are a number of reasons why your 99 VW New Beetle might be hesitating including overheating. Your Beetle might also have a leak in one of the fluids.
You can insert a suction devise down to dipstick tube.
The reason for a oil spray out of the front differential dipstick in a 1999 Subaru Legacy is because of the cold. While it was -30 the car oil thickened, when the engine started and tried to pull the oil through, pressure was created.The engine was not able to pull the thickened oil in and the pressure pushed the oil out of the dipstick.
If the dipstick of a 1999 Mercedes ML320 smells like gasoline there could be a gas leak dripping into the oil pan. The engine needs to be checked for leaks to avoid any serious damage to the vehicle.
