I recently purchased a 2002 beetle with a blown engine. Threw a rod out the side of block. I am replacing the engine with one that has 43000 miles on it. I replaced a beetle gas engine last year and thought it would be similar, its not!! Today i will drop the engine out the bottom and start the replacement. This is a fun project for something to do, iam retired and enjoy the challenge, as it is a new experience. If i need help looks as tho i can get it here. The dieno
