Volkswagen Beetle A5 – fuse and relay

Volkswagen Beetle A5 is also known under the name Beetle. Another car has the same nickname – Volkswagen New Beetle. However, these are different models. In our material, you can familiarize yourself with the designation of fuses and relays Volkswagen Beetle with photos and boxes diagrams for cars produced in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019.

The number of fuses in the boxes and the purpose may differ and depends on the year of manufacture and configuration of the Volkswagen Beatle.

Engine compartment

It is located next to the battery, under the protective cover.
