the AS engine could be from a number of years I'm afraid- it's a 1600 from August 1973 to the end of production- 1979 i think.
AnswerAS41 isn't an engine number. It's the magnesium alloy your engine case was cast from. Volkswagen changed to the improved AS21 alloy in 1975--it was introduced when VW put fuel injection on the Bug engine. So...if you've got an AS41 case, it could have come out of just about any year car.AS41 is the metal the crankcase is made from. It was used in engines up to 1975--when they changed to fuel injection.

This is the Type 1 model year 1966 1300 cc engine.
Need to know what type engine are you asking about, a newer VW? You can call a VW dealership and get an answer.
This was the late 1970 to 1972 1600 cc engine.
Look for two letters in front of this number to identify this engine successfully.
1970 , 1600cc
a CB engine is from a 72-73 VW Bus.
70-72 1600 dual port
Hi,,assuming this is a VW BUS engine number, it`s a 1965,1500cc (44hp).CHEERS
In 1949 the first VW engine number was 1-000 001 (30 hp) up to Dec 1953 which ended with the engine number of 1-695 282.Counting the production of VW's each year and based on the primitive way the Germans used to keep track of their production that would put your engine year at 1951.The Germans were making approx 7,780 VW's per month back then or roughly 260 VW's a day !You're engine was born in June 1951 approx. !!Go ahead and do the math !!*VW1973VW*
It is more than likely a 68' engine. My own 68 has an "H" engine code.
