| Post subject: | Engine ID Codes |
I was trying to find out what engine I have on my buggy and came across this: Engine ID Codes VW stamped all type 1's and pre '72 type 2's on the right case half just below the generator pedestal. The first and sometimes the second digit/letter denotes the basic engine group. So the best you can do is narrow down the engine to a group. Here are the groups Type 1 Code Year Engine Remarks 4 - 60 - 1200 - 40 HP 5 - 61 - 1200 - 40 HP 6 - 62 - 1200 - 40 HP 7 - 63 - 1200 - 40 HP 8 - 64 - 1200 - 40 HP 9 - 65 - 1200 - 40 HP FO - 66 - 1300 - 8mm oil pump studs HO/TO- 67 - 1500 - 8mm oil pump studs H5 - 68-69 - 1500 - 8mm oil pump studs B6 - 70 - 1600 - Dual Relief - single port AE - 71-72 - 1600 - Dual Relief - Dual Port AH - 73-74 - 1600 - 8mm Head studs w/case savers AJ - 75 - 1600 - Fuel injected, no fuel pump mount.
