my niece is gonna be 16 come march and my sister is asked me what i know about the new beatles, well i told her that as far as i knew they were reliable and a also safe car . further more they'll be getting a new one [i know why buy new, but that is just them] and my niece wants it to be pink...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) , any ways i told her that she should check to see if it could be ordered from the factory in the special color.
so what issues do they have and, what do you repair shop guys think? |

My parents used to have an 03 TDI. The intake carboned up about every 60,000 miles or so and then it had to be pulled off and cleaned out.
Also I know that changing a tail light bulb is a pita... having to pull the inner fender out and then reach shoulder length up under the fender was not fun for something that should be an easy job. |

That's NOT how you do it. While it's difficult because the assembly sticks to the fender, it's really about a "3-" on the difficulty chart, mostly because big hands and klutzy hand/eye coordination make for problems getting the nut off the single bolt.
