My beetle isnt starting up, i think theres a problem with the compression being that there is none. If this is the case is it a big job or is it something i can fix myself?

Depends what's wrong? Does crankshaft spin? Have you wet and dry tested it? Is it rings or valves? I can send an engine guide, but more info would be helpful...Compression test it and get back to us!
