More new beetle Bitching

250 to reset the ECU? Last time I checked that involved unplugging the battery for 10min. Some of my friends owe me some serious loot.....

my god, just set it on fire and roll it off a mountain already

good, so the ins. co. has some practice, looks like they shouldnt have any problems getting you that check pretty fast then

Just dump that E36 M3 and buy a Honda.

If you pay those prices I refuse to feel sorry for you. that speed sensor is $55 at autohausaz.com, The CLT is well under $20. You are getting raped. Find another dealer/shop.

Plus eleventy billion.

If I could figure out a way to marry the Beetle's styling to Honda's reliability, every college girl in America would be clamoring for one. ^^ That's the ??? in the profit equation.

That should have been preceded with: "You know you're berkeleyed when..."

Other than the price of the new cat, all of that is pretty ridiculous. You can reset the CEL in less than 5 minutes with a $60 obd scanner from harbor freight, and like was already mentioned the sensors are available cheap. I wont argue they are crappy cars, but the repairs do not have to cost that much.
