whats the letter before the numbers?
there is no letter before the numbers, the engine is salvaged but the model of the car is a '70 bug. the other numbers i found off the engine by the VW symbol reads "H3 101 101 B (or 8) 17" Answer: Reading the number off the generator/alternator stand is the engine code. There will be a little VW symbol and then the letters/ numbers either H0 or H5, I don't have a listing for a H3. An H0 will be a late 1966 to early 1967, H5 will be late 1967 to early 1969. Of course these are the numbers for the case, if it's been rebuilt there may be a number of different year features to the engine. The stock displacement for the engine codes above is 1500 cc, these were easily and usually modified when rebuilt to be 1600 cc.
That would be a model year 1967 1500 cc engine.
One key difference was the engine. The 66 VW Bug has a 50 horsepower engine and the 67 had a 53 horsepower engine. The late 67 VW Bug suspension had an integral sway bar in the rear.
Dismantle and rebuild!
It depends. Generally, the answer is yes, as long it is bug to bug, or other like models. It is not true of the bus, as it changed engine formats right about then.
1962
The 1969 engine is a 1500--the only year that engine was offered in the US. When you rebuiild one, it becomes a 1600 because only the stroke is different and it's not THAT much different.
In the rear. The engine is bolted to it and sits between the rear wheels.
Yes, a VW Bug with a 35 113.301.103 transmission can generally fit a VW Bug that has a 44 113.301.103 transmission, as both are part of the same family of transmissions used in air-cooled VW Beetles. However, it's important to ensure compatibility with the engine and other components, as differences in gearing and specifications may affect performance. Always consult a knowledgeable mechanic or VW specialist for confirmation before making any swaps.
By checking battery voltage while the engine is running and the lights are on.
If your 1999 VW Bug's engine cuts off when it gets hot, you might have an issue with bad gas or with the distributor. Electrical problems will often appear at operating temperature. You could also have an issue with the oxygen sensors.
That will be a 1974 model year 1600 cc engine.
