For jump starting the Volkswagen beetle, make sure you have healthy car next to you. Check both car battery bay and drive the healthy car as close as to each other battery bay. Both cars completely switched off, clip the jumper cable on both cars in right order of red (negative) to red and black to black (very carefully). Then start the healthy car and let it run on idle for 5-10 mins and then attempt to start your beetle. If your car battery has died then with this jump start, it will start the car. If it still fails, then there is something more involve than just battery failure, and you need to get the car to mechanic on recovery truck.
