I have a 2001 VW New Beetle, Turbo and while driving my kid on the freeway to the ER (long story but let’s just say soccer & injury) the car made this intermittant beeping sound – kind of like if the door is not completely shut, or if you have the car in park & turned on and you open your door it has that elavator beeping sound. It did this mostly while doing 65mph, but then I had to take a frontage road (stopped traffic) and was going 30mph and it also did this sound. All doors were securely closed and I even checked to make sure the trunk was closed all the way (pulled over the 1st time it started making this sound).
Now we were in the ER for over 2-1/2 hours, and drove home on the freeway however the car did not make this sound.
Any ideas? I’d hate to take it to the local dealership since I was already screwed on the purchase of this thing. Any my own mechanic isn’t up to snuff on VW’s as he is an MB mechanic (he’s willing to work on the VW just not as familiar with it as opposed to and SLK320 or ML320).
Thanks so much from all you mechanic guru’s, especially those that know the VW Beetles!!
