Hey ya'll, how is everyone doing? I purchased a VW Kombi from Florida. Trying to figure out what type of engine is in it. Is it water cooled, air cooled?

It's a 1995 VW Bus Type 2

Here's what I can make out stamped on the engine:

IGNIÇÃO 7
SP0294684

No, that is a beetle style air cooled type1 engine.


Try the “bay window bus” thread, someone there will decode the engine number to let you know more specifics.

Thanks so much TDCTDI. I'll post it there.

How can you tell it's not water cooled?

Thanks

Because there's nothing carrying water anywhere on the engine and no radiator. Smile
