Where is the raderater release pug at on a 2001 beetle

Bad relay?

I also have a problem with my 2001 beetle my brakes jam on as soon as you touch the brake pedel and the only way to release then is to release the nipple on the caliper can any help its driving me mad

Early ones you could twist the VW emblem and a key cylinder is under it. I think its the mid 2000's they did away with that and give you nothing but the electronics that can and will fail. There should also be an emegency release inside the truck that you can access through the back seat.

Try cleaning throttle body with throttle body cleaner. Sometimes deposits build up and choke off air at the butterfly valve.

VERY CAREFULLY - If you break the quick disconnects on the fuel lines it will cost you a fortune!!! 500.00 + because they have to string NEW FUEL LINES. - I have replaced the fuel filter a couple of times - I have a 2000 beetle with a 1.8 Turbo. The fuel lines are pressurized so you will need to relieve the pressure before you try and remove the filter or you will get a face full of gas. The filter comes off by pushing the fuel line toward the filter and then pushing the quick release button on the fuel line. The fuel line should then decouple - the filter lives under the car near the right rear tire (just in front) Good luck and be careful

Sure!
Obtain one of those "portable air compressor/battery booster/power supply" ($50 or borrow one) and charge it using the supplied a/c adapter.
Then plug it into your 12v outlet (a.k.a.cigarette lighter) and the hood release (and your radio) should work.

• Drain coolant
  
• Remove ribbed V-belt and tensioner
• Remove upper and center toothed belt guards
• Turn the crankshaft to TDC for cyl 1 and release the toothed belt tensioning roller. The toothed belt should left in the position on the crankshaft sproket
• Slide toothed belt off coolant pump
• Remove moutnting bolts from rear toothed belt guards
• Cover toothed belt with rag avoiding contamination from coolant

• Remove coolant pump mounting bolts and remove coolant pump

Installation is reverse of removal.

if you start at the bottom of the panel and slowly pull it off around the sides it should come off.. mine did fine..
hope that helps

check your water pump !! you dont have to bleed the system just run it up till fans cut in

The diagnostic port is usually beneath the dash on the driver's side of the car, near the hood release handle. If you get down under the dash, you should see the connector there (it'll the be only one mounted there).
