Based on the information I've read, my engine number should be here:
Is the number located under the tin? Based on my limited knowledge, everything looks correct for a 1.7. Here are some more pics of the whole engine. |

Here's a really interesting thread from the Samba:
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=240656 It appears that my engine was an exchange engine (you can see a bit of the exchange symbol in the pic in my earlier post). Maybe the original engine blew and this is what was sent for a replacement?? That might explain why it has the 1.7l air filter. Apparently the numbers were stamped on by the mechanic that did the replacement (supposed to be the same numbers as original). That still leaves me wondering about the questions above, like how do I know if mine is a 1.7 or a 1.8? |
