Question 3
Do all Volkswagens wistle?...  I have a 2004 Passat and when I accelerate my engine whistles. I know the older Beetles had a whistle so I decided to research and see what made them whistle. When I searched online it was all about people being concerned about their engine whistling. I just thought it was cool...should I be worried there is something wrong with my engine?

Answers
1)   Only while they work! - Bob A. Booey

2)   That usually indicates a couple of things. Either you have a vacuum leak, as a broken hose, or fitting or a hose that is off, or you have a exhaust leak usually around the manifold. - Briano

3)   sure its not the turbo? - edizzle

4)   I don't know about the new ones, but I know for sure that the old ones definitely do. I've had about 20 in the last couple years, all had that distinctive whistle. - Prime

Question 4
Will VW Golf rims fit a Corolla?...  

Answers
1)   No. Both cars are made by different car companies. Look at how many lug nuts that would use and how they are laid out. - yongjiujunshi

2)   not likely but one can always test fit a wheel to check - kelly_f_1999

3)   depends on what year you are talking about for each model. the MKIV VWs had a bolt pattern of 5x100 with center bore of 62.xx. You will need to check the bolt pattern, center bore, offset, and tire size. - edizzle

Question 5
What are the acceleration times for a 1970s standard vw beetle?...  with a 1600 engine? supposedly the 1300 super beetle 0-60mph 18.4 seconds which is extremely slow. The reason I ask is I can buy a cheap one that is extremely good cond thats looks super cool, is the acceleration really that bad for these cars. I dont need it to be fast but something at least capable of keeping up with the traffic and overtaking when need be on highways. Are there simple cheap mods to make acceleration decent?

Answers
1)   Yes even the Super Beetle will not keep up with traffic. Top speed is probably 70 mph too.

All but the top of the line pre 1973 muscle cars and sports cars would be very slow by modern standards. The Super Bettle would be slow by any standards.

BTW for an idea of how slow 18 seconds 0-60 is look at a semi. Modern ones can do 0-60 in around 20-22 seconds unloaded. A Smart car is the only thing I can think of that cant do 0-60 in less than 11 seconds. - emiller1998

2)   if you want one, forget speed and power. They never had any. - Doug W

3)   I timed my 100% stock 1973 Volkswagen Beetle with a 1600cc 46hp, and it ended up being 17.9 seconds. They are very powerful, especially for the low hp. Not the best accelerators, but they do go.

By the way, it does keep up with traffic. I never floor it, ever, and I pass cars like hell. I do 75 a lot with mine. I often surpass 80 uphill. And it gets there without a problem. It often wants to accelerate past redline, going uphill. I don't even have a Super Beetle. It isn't fast, don't get me wrong, but that asshole that answered first obviously never drove one.

Plus, name ONE car with UNDER 50hp that can do a good burnout, other than a classic Volkswagen Beetle. I even get it chirping in 2nd. - Prime
