Best Answer

You can tow an old VW bug, but it's recommended that you keep the rear wheels off the ground. Pulling it long distances at speed with the transmission turning out of gear can cause damage to the drive train.

Can you flat tow a 1998 vw beetle?

VW says it's not allowed, so I wouldn't. Fluid circulating through the transmission while the engine is running cools it, so they're afraid you'll burn the trans out by flat towing it. OTOH, some RV people flat-tow these behind motor coaches and don't have problems. Me? If I HAD to flat tow a Beetle, the CV halfshafts would be in the trunk. Then there would be no way to damage anything.
