I have a Vw beetle engine but trying to find out what year it is found a code on engine beginning with AR but cant find any reference to it on other sites can anyone tell me if this is the engine code?

Answer 1

This is the engine code, engines with 'AR' engine codes have an unusual configuration of pre-heat pipes, with two pipes per side instead of one. It's a 1300 Twin port engine and apart from the preheat pipes is the same as a AB engine.
