Vw Beetle Engine Serial Number Location

Volkswagen engines were first developed in Germany by Ferdinand Porsche during the 1930s. The Volkswagen Beetle would later become the most popular car in the world, partially because Volkswagen's air-cooled engines were reliable and easily swapped with other Volkswagen vehicles, regardless of model. Volkswagen engines included the 1192, 1285, 1548, 1679, 1285 and the1493 cubic-centimeter models. However, Volkswagen rounded the engine sizes up, so a 1548 cubic centimeter engine is called a Volkswagen 1600.
