2003 VW beetle Engine smoking?

Question 1
2003 VW beetle Engine smoking?...  My 2003 VW beetle was working great until this morning. I tried to start it and i made a clicking sound(as if the battery was dead) I tried to have some one jump me but the charge would not last. I got the car to start but it shut off seconds later. My dad tried to start the car over and over and over again and finally the last time it started to smoke. What is the Problem? Need help

Answers
1)   take it to a garage - Damian

2)   Get a new car? (: - bilem3

3)   Go see a mechanic - sounds like an electrical fault. Get the battery checked. Check your oil. - Cyberia C

4)   YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SLUDGE INTAKE, when the gas goes to your air filter it heats up and makes the intakE valve smoke fro the radiatior water take it to pepboys they replace the valves for under 250$ - robert

5)   If it wasn't for the smoke, I'd say It could be your alternator. That would be the best case scenario for you. Not too expensive to fix

We need to know where the smoke is coming from and what colour it is (black or white) - The Jamester

6)   As soon as a car starts the charge will last "if the alternator works". Yours does not because your battery is dead. And it will not stay running.
What is smoking? I am guessing you are burning up the starter(another big cost that was not needed) It didn't start. Enough already. You knew the starter worked. That is probably fried now. So you are looking at starter motor( a rebuild will do), alternator repair and battery. If you are in the habit of jump starting other cars"using jumper cables" if you hook the cables up to your battery and if the other end gets cross connected or they touch together for even a micro second you blew the diodes in your alternator. It will not charge fully if at all. It needs repair. And it seems it has not been doing its job(and that is to keep your battery fully charged.) Wal~Mart can confirm the diagnosis. - the Horses Butt

7)   aw sh - I need to sneeze

Question 2
What direction to remove the crank pulley bolt on a 2000 Volkswagen beetle 2.0.?...  What direction to remove the crank pully bolt on a 2000 volkwagon beetle 2.0.

Answers
1)   really if you cant get it to move one way try the other they just tight might nee dto use your leggs and not your arms might try a pipe on what eve r wrench you working with might have to hit it with a big hammer or stand on it if you cant move it one way try the other way that easy most will be left hand - kelly_f_1999

2)   counterclockwise. just like all bolts.
Are you using an impact wrench ? using a regular 1/2 drive doesn't work too well (the engine will just spin around and around) , use an impact wrench (air or electric) they were made specifically for that job..

Is the motor out of the car ? it's a LOT easier to pull ( and put on) the pulley when the motor is OUT of the car. - Alfonzo

3)   sounds like you are having problems getting it off .put the car up in the air and remove the tire and the splash shield. it will be much easier to get to that way. it is NOT a reverse threaded bolt. not sure why you thought it would be? using a 1/2 impact gun is much easier then a breaker bar. good luck - John C

4)   Take a 1/2 inch socket the size of the bolt.
Take a 1/2 inch extension to get out of he pulley cup.
Use a 36 inch 1/2 in drive breaker bar.

Place the socket on the bolt, the extension on the socket and the breaker bar on the extension and brace it on the floor of your garage. against the direction of travel.

Carefully and (BRIEFLY) engage the starter. (DO NOT BE NEAR THE EXTENSION).


The starter torque should loosen that bolt right off. If you have Braced it the wrong way, reverse it and try again....

It is Not a Wise idea to be near the breaker bar at all.
DO NOT USE A 3/8 Drive...It will break.

If the car is in the air, then you have to lock the starter ring to get the torque if you are not using a impact.

Place the car in gear, and lower off jack stands or remove the starter and bind the starter ring gear with a screwdriver (flat blade).

Usually a couple of smacks with a BFH (Big Frigging Hammer) will Shock it loose. - Briano

Question 3
My jetta smells like crayons. I just bought a 2001 jetta and it reaks like melted crayons.?...  I understand that the crayon smell isn't really crayons and it has to do with the wax they put on the metal to prevent it from rusting. The smell is there all the time weather the car is on or off. Is there any way to get rid of the smell without spending alot of money? Please help . The smell is driving me nuts.

Answers
1)   i would bet that you have a shoping bag melted to the exhaust pipe. - iceman681

2)   Just buy an air freshener. You are putting way too much thought into this, it's an obvious answer. - ~♥_♥~

3)   That's probably what someones kid pushed down the defroster ducts, air conditioner louvers. I'd break-up some Hall's Menthol Eucalyptus's into little pieces drop some pieces into the defroster ducts run the heater & Pray
Good Luck - Mike F

4)   YAY! I'm not the only one! I like the smell! Get used to it I don't think you can do anything about it. By the way trade it before you run into repairs these cars are horrible. Buy Febreze auto effects it smells really good, and usually covers it up. - nnik

Question 4
what are some german foods and do all germans drive volkswagen?...  

Answers
1)   schnitzel
bratwurst
kuchen
Schweinehaxe

no, not all germans drive volkswagens. many do though. a lot of them drive smart cars and other european brands that we don't have over here... all small cars though. not an SUV in sight. - ☮

2)   Ve eat wurst (curry wurst is craze), Sauerkraut, Bier, Flammenkuchen, Spaetzle, Stollen, and zo on. Ve drive Mercedes Benz und Porche and BMW. Some drive Volkwagen if not zo riche. - The Circus Bearded Lady

3)   thats just like saying do all americans drive fords. just because they are german, doesnt mean they always drive german vehicles. its just stereotyping them. there is also mercedes-benz, BMW, porsche, and audi. those are all german products as well as volkswagen. - SKIER_4_LIFE

4)   Germans also drive Fords, Chevs, Buicks, Caddilacs, Chrysler, Rolls, Triumph, MGB, Ferrarri, Lamborgini,Volkswagen,Porche, Mazda, Toyota,Mercedes,BMW, Fiat,Volvo, Kenworths, Mack, Kawasaki,Honda, Yamaha,Suzuki, Harley, Triumph, BSA, BMW. Yeah, some are better than other in quality, but not all Germans are mechanics.
German foods? The list is endless. What do Germans eat? The same list. Chinese do not necessarily eat chinese food. Neither do Japanese or Italians.(they "know" what is in the dishes).
You are probably a little German if you go back far enough into your family history. You like "black forest cake"-German?. Beer-German? Chocolate-german - the Horses Butt

Question 5
Do I have a blown head gasket?...  I have a 2000 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0 AEG engine. I have a check engine light on with 9 code all relating to grounds in the engine. I also have yellow/milky/buttery substance on my oil filler cap. I work at a garage and they all said that the substance is oil and coolant mixed together resulting in a blown head gasket. There is also a strong force of air coming out of the oil filler hole which has never happend before this. the car has 116,000 miles on it.
the oil was just changed this week and looks normal still... there is none of the milky substance on the dip stick just the filler cap.... what expalins the air pressure coming out of the filler cap as well?
is it worth fixing? how much would it cost and how does this happen?
I also am not losing and coolant out of my resevouir so and i dont have any white smoke in my tail pipe. just the symptoms i said earlier

Answers
1)   Based on your description of your situation, it is possible you have a blown head gasket or even a cracked head. Coolant mixed together with oil indicates this. - Matt

2)   yep a head gasket. will have water in your oil too - JimT

3)   if you have a blown head gasket, one other thing has to be present.
You should be getting white smoke (alot) coming from your tailpipe when the engine is running.
It seems that there is water mixing with the oil. Check you dipstick. If it's a milky color instead of normal brown-black. then, you got problems. - Alfonzo

4)   you have just described the classic blown headgasket.
at least you work in a garage and your workmates made a 100% correct diagnosis.
due to the air coming out the filler you may also have a cracked tappet or a hole in one of the pistons.
you need to have to rebuild the engine,the top part at least. - the mysterious stranger
