Beetle not starting

Post by SimonDC »

I was driving my beetle and I noticed that white smoke was coming from the engine (which was overheating) and the it backfired and a cloud of black smoke came from the exhaust. I got it started again and drove it home and now it won't start. I have replaced the coil and fuel pump but there isn't fuel leaving the fuel pump

easy to find, you go to the left top and find "Quick links" scroll down to "active topics" click, scroll down to find your name, and there you go.

Its under "Help"
