6)   The very early bugs used a 36hp engine. Then shortly after that came the 40horse. They started to get more giddy up with the introduction of the 1300cc in 1966. By 1967 the 1500cc was put into production. Then all hell broke out when the massive Dual Port 1600cc motor debuted. All relatively speaking of course. I couldn't tell you what the size of a modern conventional VW beetle has under its hood. - dewhatulike

Question 4
Does a 1980's vw beetle have a coil spring or leaf spring?...  

Answers
1)   they are neither,although they are most like a leaf spring.i believe torsion spring is the name. - idontgivafork

2)   Its a torsion tube system. It came out of the "arc". In essence it is a tube with long flat sections of spring in it. They are held in place by large "grub" screws. The axle ends fit onto the end of the sections of spring which put together form a large square. The sections twist against each other to give the spring effect. - L G

3)   it has mcpherson struts in front

on super beetle, forgot what was

on rear - v

4)   None, they have flat torsion bars with shocks in the front, and round tort ion bars with shocks in the rear. - dewhatulike

Question 5
I have 1974 Volkswagen Beetle. I used the water pressure to clean the dirty engine out.?...  What if I use the water pressure to clean the diry engine then what happen?

Answers
1)   I do hope you mean clean the outside. Just be careful not to get any water into the electrical or fuel system. You would do well to use an engine cleaning product according to the container directions for the best results. - Otto

2)   what do you mean by water pressure?
there's a way to clean a car's cylinders with water, you get a spray bottle and fill it with warm water, and
start the car, and remove the air filter and spray the water in the intake. keep spraying regularly, but not too fast. keep doing this and it will clean your cylinders.


just remember, don't pour water or spray too fast - Eduardo S

3)   i really hope you're talking about the outside of the block. but you'd be much better off just picking up some engine de-greaser from a parts store, a whole bottle is less than $5. spraying a hose inside your engine compartment is never a good idea, especially if you hit the distributor. - James Dean

4)   I used to pressure wash my engine with a steam pressure hose and some nasty acid you put in the soap to burn off the old oil and dirt and some uncovered skin also. What I learned is to let it dry. but before that even ,pop the distribute cap off. Let it thoroughly dry out. Otherwise the moisture in the cap, if left wet will not let your car start. The pressure wash will destroy any paper heater hoses and will deteriorate over time the cloth covering on the fuel lines and other tubing in and around the engine, But, otherwise, I had no problems - dewhatulike
