The Type 1 and Type 2 used the same engine through the 1971 model year. In 1972, the Type 2 received an engine known as the "Type 4" because that's the car it was in first. It's a lot different from the Type 1 engine. It has an aluminum engine case (versus the magnesium case in the Type 1), it's bigger, it's made a lot better, it has an oil filter, the oil cooler is sticking out the side of the engine instead of being on top, the cooling fan is bolted to the end of the crankshaft (advantage: if the fan belt snaps, the engine won't melt) and it weighs a LOT more.
Answeryes
In the 1967 Type 1 Beetle you had the 1500 cc engine, the Type 3 had the 1600 cc.
Engine case? The engine for the 78 bus is what is referred to as the Type 4 engine, which is vastly different from the Type 1 engine case used stock in the 1966 bug.It would require a lot of fabrication to fit this Type 4 engine in a Type 1 Beetle, but it has been done.
This is the Type 1 model year 1966 1300 cc engine.
Bosch AL-82.
I use Mobile 1
You pull the engine and tranny together; easy peasy
On the air cooled VW Type 1 engine the notch is pointing directly to the right as you are facing the engine and the front of the vehicle.
I just thought about this...answer's the same (aircooled.net and busdepot.com both have these) but a 1700cc VW engine is probably in a Bus...which means it's a Type 4 engine instead of a Type 1 engine...which means the heat exchangers are REALLY expensive--as in "more than twice the price of a Type 1 exchanger" expensive. $244.95 at aircooled.net.
It is a 1600 cc from a 1970 through 1972 Type 1 Beetle.
Use 20W50 oil (Castrol makes it) in a type 1 VW.
This would be the model year 1971 through early 1972 Type 1 Beetles with the "34 horsepower" 1200 cc engine.
