A look at how the Classic VW Beetle Engine works.

Although the iconic Volkswagen Flat 4 engine has been around since the 1930's many may not understand its operation. In this video, we briefly tour our 64 Beetle's powerplant. ‪@midwaygarage‬

Owned several over my life. Loads of fun to drive and wrench on as needed. Is it still considered most produced car in history?

Proudly have some of the baddest aircooled engines ever built in my garage

[@baobo67]

Weird? Pure genius!

[@Rebornhunter3213]

Simple and elegant. No wonder it still works around Dresden

That car heater that uses the engine's heat exhaust to warm up the heat exchanger . . . _watch out_ for carbon monoxide poisoning, as that was an issue with the '67 Beetle I had.

i just bought a bug and want to learn but I know nothing about cars and I am so over whelmed. I don’t understand any of this.

They are built to work on. And you have millions of new friends

Don’t get overwhelmed. Break it down to the absolute basics; a Beetle is literally nothing more than a body, engine and wheels. They are the simplest vehicles ever made, arguably. No coolant. No ac. No nothing. Hell they don’t even have a heater, they use exhaust heat to “heat” the car. It’s a go cart with a covered body

Look for a book called "How to keep your Volkswagen alive - A manual of Step by step procedures for the complete idiot" by John Muir AKA "The Idiots Manual". The guy was an old hippie, his explanations were simple and comical and his diagrams and artworks are amazing. Get the Chilton's and the Haynes manuals also, but the Idiots Manual is the Bible.
