Question 1
Is that true on volkswagen vehicle that after 100,000 thousands miles it will star counting again starting #1?...  

Answers
1)   some old cars would do that but not any thing made in the last 15 to 20 years - robert d

2)   That is not true. I have seen many VWs odometers with #s over 100k. It does not start over.
In fact I know of no manufacturer that does this. - fenton

3)   The older cars had speedometers that only had 5 digits so they went to 99999 and then rolled over to 00000. If your speedometer has 6 digits it will have to go to 999999 before it rolls over to 000000 or, in other words, It will have to go a million miles to roll over. My '68 Mustang has rolled over at least three times. - mustanger

4)   no it will not .. - Dubz

5)   Absolutely not. If this were possible sellers could say their car had 30,000 miles on it when really it could have 130,000 230,0000 or more. They make it so these problems don't happen. - War Eagle!

6)   Not at all. - kid286

7)   Yes, true on older VWs. I'm not sure when they changed, but my '79 Bus clicked over at 99,999 kilometres and all VWs I've had older than that have been the same. My later model Volkswagens certainly go beyond 99999. - bugmatic

Question 2
is the volkswagen golf a good first car?...  any information on insurance, servicing, repair, fuel economy?
any personal experiences?

Answers
1)   It's a wonderful car! It's small which means you can park it almost anywhere and it's also got a solid engine that will work its butt off for you. The downside is that repair and maintenance on any German car is NOT cheap. I love German cars but they do cost much more to repair and maintain than American or Japanese cars. But if you can handle the extra costs in that department, it is definitely an awesome vehicle to have. - the_unluckiest

2)   get a fiat first
get used to it
then get a better car after a few yrs - Sudais R

3)   You also should compare car insurance quotes for cars before buying one, for example here - carquotes.sinfree.net - Oliver

4)   Being a young driver,you might want to consider a Golf for it's safety features.Many more are standard on VW than on other makes.I''ve had an '06 Golf for four years,it's been great.All I've bought is gas,and they only need oil changes every 10,000 miles after break in.I'm anything but a new driver,but it's more fun that more expensive cars I've had.8 airbags,traction control,solid and more fun and nimble than my last Saab.Insurance was low because of said safety features.I get about 23/30 as it's a lot of engine(2.5,5 cylinder) for a small car.I'm happy to give up a few mpgs for the pickup,especially when merging.If I had a teenager I'd probably insist they start out in one.There are so many idiot drivers out there. - Blixen E

5)   You also should compare car insurance quotes for cars before buying one, for example here - carquotes.sinfree.net - Vins

6)   my suggesting would be getting as much information as you can before taking any action,here

http://www.AutoInsuranceFree.info

is a good place for that purpose. - DAVID

7)   I got a 85 VW Golf as my first car. And I still have it. Its been a great car so far. If you keep them maintained regularly and look around for parts instead of just going to the local parts store or dealer they can be very cheap to maintain. - kid286

Question 3
Some first car advice? Volkswagen beete mileage/insurance help?...  My dream was always to have a new style beetle. I've found this pale yellow one for £2150.

(Some people have said that's a lot for a first car and especially the insurance of £1900 a year, however I had money left to me from my daddy who passed away so I have more than enough for the car of my dreams and I do also have a job to pay for the hefty insurance- however other smaller engined cars have not been a huge amount less anyway).

However, the car has done 114,000 miles. Is that too much? Should I just walk away and not consider the car any further?
It won't cost 10 grand over 5 years lol, i've gone through all the quotes for the next few years and it drops dramatically after more driving experience.
And thanks for the advice so far everyone. I know the beetle wasn't a sensible idea, it's just hard when you have a dream...
Guess I'll have to stick to the micra... sigh.

Answers
1)   I'd say 114,000 miles is a lot for a small car particularly if its a petrol engine.
I'd shop around... - Number 6

2)   wow, i thought my daughters ins for a Fiesta 1600 sport was high at 800 quid... (originally it was 2200)

so shop around. and think about htis, over 5 years, owning this car will swallow up 10 thousand pounds, provided you dont have it stolen or written off...

by all means buy a beetle. although the new ones are more of a audi, with a body kit...

buy a cheap car and run it for a few years, then when youre 21, and have some NCB, and will have saved some money... and learned NOT to crash, or scrape it... (everyone does it) and then go buy your beetle... - fivetoze

3)   114.000 is a lot of mileage for a small car ,you will find that the 1.000 or 1.4 VW polo will be a better car for you insurance wise and for running cost

I hope this helps you . - keith p

4)   114.000 walk away fast as u can - patch

5)   You could try to use google it first,here

http://www.Autoinsurancepro.info

has some direct information which I think is might be helpful. - Martha H

6)   Help yourself - you can check your quotes in internet, for example here - autoinsurance.maclenet.com - John

Question 4
Am i going to have problems if i buy a Volkswagen beetle new version and it has 100,000 miles?...  My parents are buying me a used buggie because the insurance on a new one is too high. the problem is its a standard and it has 100,000 miles and they are worried about how reliable it maybe. Is the high insurance a better choice or is it going to last? i only need it to go to college 45 min away and come home on occasion.

Answers
1)   Problems are likely. Better choice is a Honda. - Ya-who?

2)   I would not purchased a used car with 100,000 miles on it. It's going to give you a lot of repair costs. - Nesquick

3)   that's a lot of miles , it depends on how it has been looked after, if it doesn't have a full service history from a dealer don't bother, or you might spend more time repairing it than driving it - Harley Drive

4)   of course you would have probelms. if you decide to say how cares its a new car, then donttravel any where car beacause it will probably break down how about you find a diferent used car with less miles. good luuck! - *shortyjordy*

5)   Of course you will have problems, I don't know of any car that won't give you problems of some sort eventually. Now how severe of problems is anyone's guess. 100,000 miles is nothing on today's cars, IF the car was well maintained, and it also depends on what kind of driving gave the car that many miles. If it was all highway miles then the car still has another 100,000 miles of life. If it was used as a taxi in the city, then I would stay clear. Check the driver's door seal, and brake pedal for wear. If the door seal is worn, then the car was used for a lot of short trips, if the brake pedal pad is worn, then it was in a lot of stop and go traffic. If the car looks good, and is a good price, I wouldn't turn it down. - Shane A

Question 5
99 VW beetle. I have oil mixed in the anti-freeze.?...  Engine runs great, no power loss, no vapor coming from exaust. There are no signs if water in the crankcase oil. What could be wrong? the motor is a 2.0L AEG.

Answers
1)   Possible head gasket, DO NOT start, run, or drive the car anywhere until you know for sure, you could cause damage to the engine. Get the car towed to a garage to be checked - PAUL

2)   You've blown a head gasket. Don't start it. Tow it to your mechanic. - Mike

3)   Chances are that you have a bad oil cooler. If you have a square box on the on top of your oil filter and it has 2 radiator hoses on it, then you could of blown the oil cooler. If it goes it can intermix antifreeze with the oil.

What the typical oil cooler on a VW looks like:
<http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y65/briano1234/Oilcooler/Oilcooler007.jpg>

Antifreeze in the oil can pit the crank bearings you need to get it looked at asap.

A blown head gasket would be indicated if your radiator hoses are under pressure, that is when they are warm you can squeeze them at all. (or they look really ballooned.) - Briano

4)   if no cel (check engine light ) or codes present on scan then check oil cooler. - Dubz
