absolutely not. maybe he installed the incorect master and or brake cylinders. both are different on a super beetle as compared to a regular beetle

I think if it were me I would find another VW tech, The
brake pedal should be at least a 3/4 pedal and firm. The
old beetles are bad about blowing the fluid line going to
the rear brakes, it's located under the rubber floor mat
on the drivers side, they rust out from water getting under
the rubber and not drying.
