Some of this coments r so fucking stupid if you r going to talk shit and compare the bug to your pieces of shit be advice the VW BUG is being in every corner of the globe,but your pieces of shits only in a safe enviroment.and yes 2 bolts in your case and a shit load of crap with it.oh before i forget what the fuck do u do with your 1000lbs rated 5 inch long bolts for a 600lbs engine. let me guess a fucking thing.
@MissWeatherballoon Not if you have the right bolts holding the engine in.Then again,WTF do i know about it.Only been working on them since age 7 and certified by VOA in Santa Monica at age 19.
@MissWeatherballoon - i got big hands and all bolts are fairly easy to get to. it has never taken me more than 10-15 mins from i begin wrenching until the engine sits on the garage floor. What the clutch cable got to do with anything i do not know ... (own bugs from 56 - 73)
@yemenyz the throttle and clutch are connected to the pedals, and the tranny is connected to the wheels via some sort of shafts. same with the gear shifter, its connected to the transmission by some sort of linkage. ive taken apart one of these bugs with a friend, and it took us longer than 20 seconds and 4 bolts to take the engine out
Heh... If you leave the tranny in place, I count at least six bolts (4 bell housing, 2 motor mount). If you want to take the transmission out with the engine, you've got twelve bolts in the half shafts, and another one on the shift linkage for a total of ... I think fifteen. But yeah, I've done it in under 15 minutes without rushing. Took 3 hours just to access the intake manifold gaskets on my F-250.
@jpmartineau I mean all the parts that connect from the engine to other parts of the car, IE upper and lower radiator hoses, the transmission, and whatnot.
@williamthomasmi10 A beetle DOES NOT I repeat DOES NOT have a radiator. Its what you call Air cooled. Only things you need to remove is 1. Fuel line 2. Throttle cable 3. Alternator/generator wires 4. the wires that connect to the coil and then all that holds it in is 4 bolts total. I've pulled the Engine out of my bug 7 times in the last month so don't argue with me. Damn I'd expect a little more intelligence from a mechanic hell I'm only 14
I had 52 of them. I used to take out the engine (usually only 3 screws since people do not usually put the one behind the shroud on) and throw it on a shopping cart and take them upstairs to my apartment. I was only 15 at the time. My Mom did not know where I was getting the cars. People would give them to me. I wish I could find one now. I even had a 56 with the areal split window
After servicing these cars for years, I've found, that VW considers these cars in the same class as Porche, Mercedes Benze, Astons and such, the price on upkeep more than exceeds what you save in gas. Ask any mechanic what they think about VW's and almost all will say that they're not worth it. Once one thing breaks down, it's all downhill from there. 9 out of 10 owners try everything to get rid of the cars after they find out what the dealerships would not tell them.
Best little car ever made, you could baha with the boys Saturday morning and take Betty Lou to Dairy Queen Saturday night cuz you didn't spend all your money on GAS!!!. The only one I never owned was a Thing. I let Joey Krause drive my 71 Ghia he lost control hit a pole, rolled it over a couple times and we walked away from it, 13,000 miles old. What a car.
These 4 bolts hold the engine to the tranny, there are no engine mounts, no hoses (for the air cooled one's) and there are a couple of wires to disconnect and thats it
I swapped out a 1600 dual port from a squareback. easiest thing I've ever done. 2 motor mount bolts 4 tranny bolts and 4 wires from the alternator, fork lift the car up and slide the engine out. : )
.......yes those for bolts is whats keeping the engine mounted, but thats not all you need to do to remove it. You need to disconnect all the wires from the engine...and remove all the lines...and disconnect the engine from the tranny...well the tranny I ain't to sure about, but you gotta disconnect the line that causes the tranny to shift so you can remove that with the engine. And I ain't to sure if the gas tank is under the engine,but if it is you need to take that out first as well.
@jp2691 The 4 bolts attach the engine to the transmission. You also have to disconnect the fuel line, the accelerator cable and a couple of wires and it's out. I watched a Porsche mechanic take the engine out of my 1962 Super 90. It had the same configuration as a VW beetle. 20 minutes after driving the car onto a life the 4 cylinder engine was in pieces on a work bench for a valve job. A lot more power than the beetle, of course, which by 1967 had grown to 53 hp.
4 bolts? I guess that's along with gearbox. My little Fiat would be the same: 1 bolt in back, 2 holding the gearbox, 1 connecting the shifter linkage.
But...then there's the speedo cable, gas, choke, fuel lines, air intake/output, plug wires from the coil, dynamo, starter leads and cable (cable-actuated pinion) and grounding strap. I imagine the Beetle is similar.
And if you actually wanted to be practical about it, you'd remove the rear cross member - 4 more bolts, not counting the tow hitch.
@Rocker2590 Thank god . i thought it was like 90 kmh enough , thanks a lot for your answer , does it matter if the cars a bit heavier? Like with 4 ppl and some bags , will the top speed lower? And how fast from 0 - 60 plz and thanks
@Rocker2590 Yea i understand , congrats on learning english I didn't notice u were from Mexico , thats great you speak to languages , thanks for the info.
@phatso786 I pulled mine all by myself with a standard car jack in 10 minutes. 7 minutes of that was me looking for anything else I could have missed after the 7 minutes I realized it really is just 4 bolts.
The funny thing is that we're heading back towards this sort of simplicity with electric cars. You can probably carry a spare motor in the trunk if you really want to be paranoid; it'll p'rolly weigh about 40 pounds. There are no transmissions in the vast majority of electric vehicles.
They used to do 45 minutes engine exchange in Dermany service stations. You drive in, have a coffe and off you got with new engine. That simple. Now that was a car!
lol, i had one on my sandrail (i also own a 1970 bug), When i was building them, i would just pick the motor up, and walk it over to the car, hold it in place while my friend put the bolts in. Nothing like working on an air cooled VW!
have heard many stories of people going into the supermarket and coming out again to find their beloved beetle up on jack stands with the swing arms tucked under and no engine!!
although my autostick beetle is a little bit more complicated than the manual one to get out....which sucks! so unless you are an enthusiast, dont get an autostick beetle!
i don't see how it's such a big ordeal about what you have to do to remove a motor from a bug, it's 2 bolts 2 nuts the throttle cable the wires to the coil alternator/generator and oil pressure switch heater hoses and the cables to the heater box along w/ the fuel line, and at times remove the breastplate cause it'll get caught on the engine compartment seal and you might have to loosen up the distributor and turn it if you don't have an .009 cause there's a chance of breaking the vacuum advnce
yes but they didnt include all the hoses, wires, and other engine peices that get in the way when your taking out an engine. the world record people consider engine in/ engine out as the stripped down engine itself going in and out. doesnt mean you can drive it after they put the new one in.
Real craziness: at Volkswagen shows they have engine pull contests to see who can do it fastest. Someone figured out how to remove and replace one in two minutes...so now you have to drive the car in, pull the engine, drag it away from the car, put it back, reinstall and drive off, so the crowd will have something to watch. These engines are very easy to pull.
It's not "four bolts" at all. The bottom of the engine is held with two nuts. The top is held with two bolts. The one on the passenger side is a bolt that screws into a captive fastener on the transaxle, so a bolt comes out from the engine side. The one on the driver side holds the starter, and a nut comes out the engine side. So...two bolts, three nuts, all 17mm.
Yes it is. I could remove my motor, replace the plugs, and replace it in less than 30 minutes. I started doing it after I put the plug ion cylinder #3 crooked and had to have the head helicoiled.
Not that a VW engine is worth much on its own, but you can literally fuck around, destroy an engine, and replace it on the spot in five minutes with a jack and your bare fucking hands.
Or you could do it the simpler way, ripping out the rear axle with the engine attached, lol.
The 1948 Tucker had this feature, too. Four bolts to undo the engine/transaxle and a patented wiring harness plug...it was meant to be a quick pit stop to replace the engine.
Actually, 2 bolts and 2 Nuts. 2 heater box cables, accelerator cable, fuel line, coil wire, back-up light and generator wire. Out in 20 mins. Going back in takes a little longer gotta make sure input shaft gets properly lined up and bam back together.
More like four nuts and two bolts: there are two nuts at the bottom of the engine, one nut on the transmission side of the starter and one bolt on the clutch-lever side of the transmission. The top of the starter is held in with a bolt that pushes through the starter, transmission and engine from the trans side, and there's a nut on the engine side of that bolt. You pull the starter because it's easier to line it up after the engine's in.
Dont know if I think thats a good approach for a commercial though..why would you wanna take the engine out,is it so unreliable that you have to expect a change?
nice now i see why people love customizing these cars they are easy to take apart and put back in Try doing that on a new car first the freaking wires will strangle you and then the 20 bolts will disappear

yes but they didnt include all the hoses, wires, and other engine peices that get in the way when your taking out an engine. the world record people consider engine in/ engine out as the stripped down engine itself going in and out. doesnt mean you can drive it after they put the new one in.

Real craziness: at Volkswagen shows they have engine pull contests to see who can do it fastest. Someone figured out how to remove and replace one in two minutes...so now you have to drive the car in, pull the engine, drag it away from the car, put it back, reinstall and drive off, so the crowd will have something to watch. These engines are very easy to pull.

Whats a 14mm? I cant seem to remember any 14's used to hold the engine in.

Schweinhund! It's held in with 17mm fasteners!
It's not "four bolts" at all. The bottom of the engine is held with two nuts. The top is held with two bolts. The one on the passenger side is a bolt that screws into a captive fastener on the transaxle, so a bolt comes out from the engine side. The one on the driver side holds the starter, and a nut comes out the engine side. So...two bolts, three nuts, all 17mm.

Yes it is. I could remove my motor, replace the plugs, and replace it in less than 30 minutes. I started doing it after I put the plug ion cylinder #3 crooked and had to have the head helicoiled.

Take it from a scrapper, it's pie.
Not that a VW engine is worth much on its own, but you can literally fuck around, destroy an engine, and replace it on the spot in five minutes with a jack and your bare fucking hands.
Or you could do it the simpler way, ripping out the rear axle with the engine attached, lol.

The 1948 Tucker had this feature, too. Four bolts to undo the engine/transaxle and a patented wiring harness plug...it was meant to be a quick pit stop to replace the engine.

4 bolts but you stil have fan shroud and wiring loom, fuel lines ect. But it is still defiantly the easiest car to work on!

The Type II (or bus) is even easier. You dont need to jack up the car, just remove the bumper and rear apron and pull the engine out.

Actually, 2 bolts and 2 Nuts. 2 heater box cables, accelerator cable, fuel line, coil wire, back-up light and generator wire. Out in 20 mins. Going back in takes a little longer gotta make sure input shaft gets properly lined up and bam back together.

More like four nuts and two bolts: there are two nuts at the bottom of the engine, one nut on the transmission side of the starter and one bolt on the clutch-lever side of the transmission. The top of the starter is held in with a bolt that pushes through the starter, transmission and engine from the trans side, and there's a nut on the engine side of that bolt. You pull the starter because it's easier to line it up after the engine's in.
jmowreader 2 years ago
Yep, only 4 bolts, I have did it before aswell, just disconnect the accelerator cable, heater box hoses(2x), and gas line and your GOLDEN!

Superior German engineering. It probably takes a day to pull an engine out of an American car and it's much less efficient.

Try pulling an engine out of any modern day German car and I think you'll change your mind.

Dont know if I think thats a good approach for a commercial though..why would you wanna take the engine out,is it so unreliable that you have to expect a change?
KapteinOpel 3 years ago
nice now i see why people love customizing these cars they are easy to take apart and put back in Try doing that on a new car first the freaking wires will strangle you and then the 20 bolts will disappear
