How do I know what cc's my motor is?
Guy's and girls I have a 69 beetle and i am going to take the motor out to do some work (new seals etc) but i wanted to be sure of the motor size.
The deck lid says 1500s but i have been told it is not the original lid (later model) the guy i bought it off said 1500 but he may have been wrong.
will the engine number help me? |

Hi
Engine number will help, a 1500 Beetle should have an H engine number. The issue gets confusing from there on. If your number is all numbers you have
police engine number, given when fitting a new motor without an engine number. If you could desribe your motor, is the manifold 1 piece? Its a 1500.
If it has a 3 piece manifold, centre T section, alloy ends? It could be a 1300 or 1600. Another problem is that motor could have been bored out or
stroked, so the only way to be sure is to measure bore & stroke. If you buying a full gasket set they usually cater for all size motors in the
one pack.

The "Bible" does not carry any MC prefixed engines in either types I, II, III, or IV.
There are engine numbers in just the stated numeric range, but they are with 1959 type I beetles of 36hp from AUG to Dec that year- not original 1500
engines by any means. Looks like a 1200 been worked on.
I have a 71 beetle and its stated engine number begins with AD, just as the "Bible" says it should.
Give us your chasis number for another try. |

Yeah its a 69, but the only way to know for sure is to have owned it from new......or pull it apart and measure it.

AS 11CAB says, it is 68/69, and the engine should be a H5414586 to H59----- series. Chasis number is spot on , engine though...... |

All this info is top notch, but the if the motor has ever been apart or rebuilt it wont help you that much. You need to know what the bore and stroke
are on the engine.
e.g. a bore of 92mm with a stroke of 69mm is 1835cc or 82mm stroke with 92mm bore would be 2180cc. Or a rough way of doing it is with a swept volume
test.

Can't agree more Desert Moose.
And to educate us all the 12........ series engines were built from Dec 1955 to Dec 1956 and were ORIGINALLY 36hp.
Like you said, who knows what has happened to it in the last nearly 50 years? |
