WHAT OIL IT NEEDS MY 2000 VW BEETLE 2.0 L WITH 140000 MILES

well you could need a tune up new spark plugs wires , or coil on plug depending on vehicle change oil and air filter pcv valve check tire inflation level add air if needed also try adding a regaine fuel system treatment regaine isolates ethenol aka water and passes it though system and cleans injectors lits ports ect

Do you have the turbo model? If so you could have a bad turbo. You may also have bad valve seals or piston rings. If you have a turbo you can remove the hose or pipe off of the outlet side of your turbo between the turbo and the intake manifold. If there is oil in it your turbo is leaking and will need repaired.

first thing on a turbo, do an oil change using full synthetic oil. If you can, plan on replacing plugs and plug wires, replace antifreeze, and check brake linings. VW Beetles are tough to work on (little room), and it would also be a good idea to check hoses and belts, cleaning the engine.

Sounds like your burning oil or leaking oil, how many miles have you put on the car since you last got the oil changed? Check under your hood for any fresh oil leaks around your valve cover gasket, under you car around the oil pan, also make sure the service station that changed your oil tightened your oil filter and theres not a leak there, make sure your oil drain plug on your oil pan is not leaking or loose, if you cannot find any of the above your most likely burning oil due to worn piston rings or valve guide seals......

The most problematic engine issue is replacement of the timing belt, tension pully and water pump at around 70,000 miles. Failure of the timing belt can damage and possibly ruin the engine. Other common problems are low or sludged oil (if not changed intermittantly), loss of engine coolant, and bad glow plugs.

The proper oil weight should be printed on the oil refill cap located under the hood. It's likely a 20 weight oil in the New Beetle.

the clutch plate needs to be replaced so it can change gears.

Hi,

Recommend you change filter also, every 7,500 miles.

Quantity needed: 4.2 qts
Oil type: look for an API rating of "SJ" or better

Your selection of oil is really dependent on the temperatures the vehicle will endure, during the life of this oil change (i.e. is it winter or summer).

So, with this in mind you should select your oil, based on the following temperature chart:



Cheers,

You should have the timing belt changed between 90-100K miles. When you are having the belt changed you should also change the water pump rollers. The total cast would be $950.00

yes !
