Official Mexican / Brazilian Beetles - All years

1998 Mexica Beetle. Purchased a 1998 Mexican Beetle. When starting for the first cold time it needs me to press the gas to keep it running till it warms up. It won't idle or stay on until it reaches a certain temp then its fine. It will start up and idle once warmed up. Is there some type of method to engage a choke? Or is it a throttle temp sensor?

I am looking for a horn slip ring for my 1999 Mexican beetle. It has two contacts points as opposed to the single wire on most US bugs. Any help would be appreciated

Looking to change my transmission fluid in my 2002 Mexican beetle. Just wondering what the recommended grade is and if anyone has run synthetic vs conventional.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

I’m looking at replacing all of the existing 20 year old fuel lines on my 2002 Mexican beetle. I had a high pressure line let go earlier this season in my garage so as a preventive measure I’d like the update all of it with fresh lines.

Would anyone happen to know approximately how many feet of rubber fuel line is needed to replace all the lines? I plan to replace it all with higher psi rated fuel injector hose including any of the lower pressure stuff such as the line coming down from the tank and into the pump.

Hopefully someone has done this before and might recall how much hose they used roughly.

Thanks everyone.

Picture from when I had engine out last year. Made replacing the lines around the engine very easy. Only 13k miles on the Bug, but after 19 years, glad to replace them.

Hello all. I’m the proud new owner of a 1998 mexi bug “open air” with 2,300 original miles. I’m a vw nut my whole life and have had many air cooled cars over the years but of course this is my first vocho so I’ve read this whole thread before asking any stupid questions, and as such I almost feel like I already know some of you guys lol. Any questions that I did have have already been answered just by reading this thread so thank you all for all the valuable information and links to even more information. I’ve lurked on the samba for years and never joined (in fact I have no idea how most of the functions even work on here as I’ve never posted on any forums before today). I just wanted to say hi and post a pic of my car. Actually I do still have one question.. have any of you guys heard of Bug World in Fulton Ca? That’s the original seller of mine I believe because there’s a sticker in passenger door jamb. Well again thanks for all your input into getting information out about these awesome little cars I’ll post a picture or two if I can figure out how.
