VW beetle help

[JMBD2112]

Gotta a 2000 beetle that stalls on decel in parking lot maneuvers, don't have euro on my solus, and I can't see any data in generic obd2, any one have any suggestions?

Check that your battery is still locked down, it could be moving and shorting out. Make sure nothing else is moving around that shouldn't be. Could be a short or something getting disconnected from the inertia.

No codes or check engine?

Had a P0411 incorrect air flow, all of the vacuum lines on top of the motor were broken. Got the kit per TSB 0102-04 and replaced all the vacuum lines. Cleared DTCS and no codes have came back. I've been driving it and watching the fuel pressure when it cuts out, it doesn't change. I'm running at 36psi at idle and it hits 43 psi under load, pulled the vacuum line off the regulator and my pressure jumps up to 45 psi which tells me my regulator is working, if the inertia switch was bad, wouldn't my FP drop out?

When it does idle does it run rough? Have you smoke tested the intake?

doesn't run rough, I did spray some propane to see if I could get an idle change...rpms didnt change. Damn I didn't want to buy the Euro package

The computer software is pretty quick for controling idle on vacuum leaks. It is a bit difficult to do it by sound/rpm on the late model euro cars.


Look into a VagCom instead. It is what I use on VW and Audi. I don't touch them with my Solus Pro. It is slow and clunky with Audi/VW.


No O2 pid?

Join a VW forum, most of them list local people with VAG-COM. Buying your own Ross-Tech VCDS kit is a huge investment... and I've yet to see a VAG-COM clone be worth any $.

I know it sucks being the new guy begging for help, but most VW people are good folk!

Normally we "broom" euro's, for some reason we took this in. I talked to hardy's auto just now, he's got one and he's going to take a look at it tomorrow.

Clean the mass air flow sensor with throttle body cleaner. Lots of VW that I've worked with the 0411 code, the problem was a bad MAS sometimes cleaning would help.
