Hello everyone…I’m in need of some help here in regards to my 2007 VW beetle. So I’m driving to work on Friday morning and I get off the highway make a left turn then all the sudden I hear the loudest clanking noise and my car just won’t go. I get out to look under my car and my transmission has com…

sorry you are going through this. why didn’t you go through your insurance? were you hit in the rear? if so was the engine replaced? if yes then maybe the auto body that replaced it might be at fault. if you were hit in the front then it probably has nothing to do with the accident.

see I learned something. I was never into beetles. I assumed it was in the rear. and when you assume… you make a ass out of me not U. LOL and yes I know that’s not how the saying goes.

The car is 15 years old and likely purchased “AS IS”. That means no warranty and the second you are handed the title and keys the car is yours; warts and all. A careful examination of the transmission, mounts, mounting bolts, and bell housing should reveal an answer as to why this happened. You sa…

Of course it is too late now but from now on use the rule a lot of people go by. Never buy or sell a vehicle to friends , relatives or co-workers. Unless your employer gave you a written gaurantee of some kind they have no resposibility for the repair of the vehicle they sold you.

[image] weekend-warrior: I learned something. I was never into beetles. I assumed it was in the rear The “new” Beetle (now discontinued) was essentially just a VW Golf with a different body and different dimensions.

I only had liability at the time of the accident and hadn’t switched it to full coverage yet !!

FYI I would not involve the previous owner or boss anymore, you still have to work with them.

It was a total of 3000 dollars for all parts labor and body work, and it went to 3 different shops because each shop specializes in certain things that needed replaced…like the mounting and reinforcements I have all my invoices showing all parts that were replaced, so that’s why my boss telling me t…

I’m not saying my work is responsible. I’m saying that the business that replaced my mount and bolts should be. I have an invoice for 200 bucks stating it was done, but have a mechanic telling me that out of 7 bolts I only had 1 that the others must have just eased there way out
