Answers
1)   There is only one kind. - Dan G

2)   what kind a qustion is that? - E Y E

3)   It depends where you live as to what kind of diesel you use. Basically all diesel is the same and if you have a choice, it's more to do with your local excise arrangements such as DERV in the UK which is tax free.

Diesel has a cetane rating in the same way that petrol has an octane rating but this is rarely posted on the pump. To the average user, diesel is diesel and you don't have to get more technical than that. - Jules G

4)   you sure it aint petrol. fill it up with petrol then ask what to do. - Malcom M

5)   Diesel is diesel. - PoliPino

6)   It's euro5 diesel for a 2009 car - just choose the most expensive diesel on offer and you'll be fine. This to avoid euro4, which I'm not even sure they sell anymore - Mark

Question 2
VW: Bug, Bus, or Karmann Ghia?...  What VW would you rather have, and why?

A VW Bug, Bus, or Karmann Ghia?

Answers
1)   Everyone knows knows the Bug. Most have the idea of the bus (stereotype hippie van) but nobody has a clue about the Karmann Ghia, so I would take it. - jimanddottaylor

2)   I've had many of all 3, and I currently own 6 Beetles, 2 Ghias, and a Bus. I'd have to go with the Beetle because as much as it's not as fun to drive as the Karmann Ghia (the Ghia's a bit sportier, better handling), the parts are a little easier to get. There aren't as many parts on a Ghia as there are on a Beetle that you can get at Auto Zone and Pep Boys. This has a lot to do with the fact that there were 21 million Beetles produced up until 2003, and a lot of Mexican companies still mass produce almost every part. The Ghia stopped production in 1974 and just under a half a million were produced. The Bus isn't the easiest to drive, but when it comes to hauling a lot of stuff, it's bar none the best. - Prime

3)   Ghia or the Thing. Either would be cool! - Bob A. Booey

4)   Honestly I love them all. I drive a 1999 Silver Volkswagen Beetle and I love it.
I wanted the old bug from the 60s but I do not know how to drive stick shift. - Vegetarian Deadhead Hippie

Question 4
What are the top speeds of the classic VWs?...  What are the top speeds for the VW Bugs, Buses, and Karmann Ghias?

Answers
1)   12 - ken k

2)   I had a buddy in high school who had a '57 VW bus, he said going downhill he could get it up to 50 mph. - tunguska

3)   Beets can do 90 on the flats, buses can do about the same(depends on the condition of the motor and the headwind and the hill, Ghias are about the same. Handling characteristics get scary at that speed for both the beet and the van. Just not comfortable - I no do "NICE"

4)   This is what I've gotten some of my Volkswagens going. They are all completely stock. These speeds are close to or absolute redline, and are a bit higher than in the book.

1973 Beetle- 87mph
1973 Super Beetle- 90mph
1972 Karmann Ghia- 94mph
1968 Bus- 84mph
1957 Beetle- 78mph
1949 Beetle- 64mph (I could have gotten it going faster) - Prime

Question 5
vw polo 2001 - how do i turn the engine management light off?...  Hi,

I need help with my vw polo. Basically everytime i start the car it displays a little sign that looks like a camera and next to it says "check" . I asked this question before and most people said it a engine management light. My question is, why do i get this warning sign and how do i turn it off???

Answers
1)   it means there is a fault with a part on your engine like a spark plug or lead - im_lost

2)   Every time you turn on your ignition the Engine ECU unit sends a signal to all the engine sensors.
If it does not receive the predetermined value it will put on the engine management light and store a code which can be read with an engine diagnostic reader.
The fault should be resolved and the codes erased.
Some codes can be deleted by disconnecting the battery but I would advise you to get a garage to do a diagnostic check done to be on the safe side. - Black Panther

3)   Fix whatever the problem is with the engine and reset the fault... - Michael G

4)   you get this fault because( simply put) there is an electrical fault in one of the sensors on the engine
simply take it to a garage and have it diagnosed
find out what the fault is and take it from there
if your cars runs okay 90% of the time its usually 02 sensor
on exhaust which you have 2 of

or if it runs okay just live with it ! - SHAHID
