There is. The starter's on the right-hand side of the car. Look between the firewall and the fan shroud on that side, and you'll see a 17mm nut. That's the top nut holding the starter in, and you might need to clamp a pair of vise-grips to the head of the bolt to get the nut off. It is in possibly THE hardest place in the world to maneuver a pair of vise-grips into.
1979

To replace the speedometer odometer in a 1979 Volkswagen Beetle, first remove the dashboard cover and unscrew the speedometer from its mounting. Disconnect the speedometer cable and any electrical connections. Install the new speedometer by reversing the disassembly process, ensuring the cable and connections are securely attached. Finally, reassemble the dashboard cover and test the new speedometer to ensure it operates correctly.
Anywhere from late 1974 through late 1979. These were Type 1 or Beetle engines.
The production of the Volkswagen Beetle was largely discontinued in 1979 due to declining demand and the increasing competition from more modern vehicles. As consumer preferences shifted towards larger cars and more fuel-efficient models, the Beetle's sales began to decline. Additionally, the introduction of new safety and emissions regulations made it challenging for the Beetle's design to meet the changing standards. Ultimately, Volkswagen decided to focus on developing new models that aligned better with market trends.
God I love these simple questions...Holy Mackeral...All VW Beetles were made in Germany until 1979.
Three were produced in 1948, 364 in 1949, and then went into full sales production in 1950, selling 2695 units and topping out at 19569 in 1979. All were made by the Karmann coachworks in Osnabruck Germany. Source: Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet, Malcom Bobbit, 2002 Veloce Publishing
