William asks…
Turbo for my V-Dub passat?
I have a vw passat that is a 2001. It seems as if its transmission is very slow; therefore, its acceleration rate is very slow. I believe I can get someone to install it, but I was wondering where I can get one. Also is this a good idea? Maybe just give me a little insight into a turbo as I do not fully understand it itself, price, applicability, etc. Thanks.
admin answers:
Im guessing you have a 2.0L motor? The 1.8t is vw’s turbo’d 4 cylinder, which wouldnt be going slow, and their other motor, the vr6 is very quick as far as a stock eco-friendly motor. If you do have the 2.0, and speed means that much to you, i would suggest selling it and getting a 1.8t or a VR6. Also if its just accelerating slower than usual it wouldnt hurt to have the tranny checked out

GLITCHES
========
Start In front of other racers before a race
To start in front of your opponents, you have to hold R1 and X and push left or right (depending on which racer you want to start in front of.) on the left analog stick so that you will move in a 180 degree motion, so that the rear end of your car hits the side of the other racers which helps put you in front of them. If done correctly, you will start the race exactly after you do this (Does not work with motorcycles).
SECRETS

Free Neon
To get the red, green, blue, and white neon for free go to the neon menu and select “no neon” for $0 and exit the menu. When you go back to the menu the standard colors are all listed as “purchased”

Sandy asks…
should i keep my VW GTI or get a mustang?
ok, i have a volkswagen GTI with a 1.8L turbo, and its one heck of a ride, but i’ve loved the new mustang look since they came out, so im kinda torn between getting one or keepin my V-dub. im not even sure how much i could trade my car in for, its a 2003 with 52k miles on it, but it has every accesory available and its in great shape, no blemishes. if i can get a good amount for my GTI, then i htik i will trad for the mustang. what should i do?
admin answers:
They are two different cars, but the vw is simply better. It’s engineered better, it’s safer and is more reliable than any american car will ever be. Also, if you added accesories to your car, it does not matter how much you spent, it decreases the value of it. You would get higher trade in prices if your car was fully stock.
Thomas asks…
Are Gemballa and Porsche owned by the same company?
I was playing midnight club 3 DUB EDITION remix and noticed that the Gemballa Turbo Coupe look a lot like the Porsche 911 Turbo.
this is bugging me the gemballa turbo coupe looks exactly like the 911 turbo
admin answers:
No – Porsche is an auto manufacturer, Gemballa is an aftermarket tuner. The Gemballa Turbo Coupe IS a Porsche Turbo Coupe with some parts replaced with Gemballa parts.
Carol asks…
2002 Volkswagen 1.8 turbo transmission problems…?
A friend has an 02 jetta with the tiptronic that needs a new trans:( He had purchased the car new. Regular service with dealer documentation. 46,000 miles. Clean car. He purchased an extended service warranty a little over two months ago. It is supposed to cover drivetrain components. The warranty looks wonderful. The clause that they are arguing is this, he needed to surpass 30 days, check, or 1000 miles, no check. He has driven 847 miles since the signing of the warranty! Guy takes care of his stuff and doesn’t have excessive mileage and is being penalized for not driving his V-Dub enough? My earlier asking had this car as an 04. Sorry. A lot of great responses though. But it is an 02 with low mileage. I seen his service folder and he has only paid for everything to be done mechanically. No home oil changes. Good documentation. I know that this is driving him batty, and any good answers are appreciated. Thanks a bunch in advance. Tony
admin answers:
That’s pretty perplexing. I know a lot of people have issues with VW dealer and have to call central office of VW of America in order to get this resolved. Should be easy to find the 1-800 number for your friend. Another good resource is this free owner’s website/club on the web: http://newbeetle.org. It’s helped me resolve problems easily and cheaply. Give it a whirl, it’s made by NB owners FOR NB owners, and they don’t try to get you to buy stuff, or silly stuff like that.
