Love trips with the car for lunch.
That is so nice and modern looking on the inside. Love the Super Beetle convertible. The gage is modern yet old fashioned.
I had clicked on this link because I needed to find out how to remove an injected engine. However, you skipped over the part where you show how to remove the ancillary fuel injection components to allow the nengine to come out. Otherwise, nice presentation.
I’m sorry but you should have changed out the bad part that was wrong with it because this person put his trust in you to fix it and you left that one part off because you wonted it for your self. That was wrong. I’m just saying
Just bought a old bug and started tinkering. Your videos are helping me understand VW design and have saved me loads of time
Thought I saw a spark when you were trying to drop it the first time.

I like your videos,What is your workshop address?
i cant believe you had engine out and didn't degrease it
I was calling out, that fan belt looks iffy and odd, and then the man comments on it, as if he wouldn’t 😁
tool needed is called a BFH
Actually, the heat doesn’t go into the car unless you pull the heat lever. That opens the flap on the heat exchanger, allowing the heat to flow into the car. If you don’t pull the lever, no heat. The thermostat helps warm up the engine, has nothing to do with the heat for the interior of the car. ✌🏼. (o\_|_/o)
I know this is an old video Mustie and the Bug is long gone,but I think I would have degreased the motor first than ran it to check for leaks but I know you are the V Dub go-to -guy and know what your doing,at any rate,a great video as usual.
