problem #1

Aug 012003

Beetle 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 80,000 miles
Low beam headlight on drivers side no longer functions. Dealer states cracked housing allowed water in which in turn burned out bulb. Judging by the number of New beetles I see with one head light out this appears to be a common problem.
