Building a Working VW Beetle Engine Model

In this video I'm assembling a 1:4 scale VW Beetle flat-four boxer engine from FRANZIS.

This transparent engine model kit has 200 parts, fully functional construction with LED spark plugs and working distributor. This engine kit is high quality and well engineered. The detailed step-by-step instructions help you build your own VW Beetle engine for your workshop, office desk or living room.

Great video! I've got to get back into this. Back in 1966 I got the RENWAL VISIBLE V8 for my 13th birthday and had a ball building it and seeing it work. Even simulated firing sparkplugs with tiny peanut bulbs.

The oil leaks. I remember 1980 rebuilding 1600 and 2100 engines days and days. Nice watching video. Didn’t get dirty. I remember torquing on flywheel and that was it. Thank you. Downey California. Little rascals bug club 1980 to 1985.

I recognized every piece of that model! My car has the 1600 rather than the 1100, but the principle is the same.

I always loved the sound of an idling vw engine.

I was a mechanic, and I had to repair many boxer engines, watching the video I got a lot of memories back. Thanks. Greetings

I have no one in my town that knows how to fix a VW bug, so I was thinking to get some knowledge how I can get to know the parts I would get one of these and at lest know a little about the engine. Great video

I just finished building one of these about three weeks ago. WORTH EVERY PENNY! I learned some things about VW engines which I never knew before, such as the oil cooler inside the shroud and the gear driven camshaft.

I bought a basketball case to put mine in. Way too nice to have sit out and have the dust get all over it. 👌🏽

Cute... A sound I remember well from childhood

[infernoking]

I have the big boy version in my garage.

This is like watching an engine build ASMR style, very relaxing and fun to watch. I love all your vids.

[trailladymtb]

I want to get one of these for my genius son.

Cool video. Man, this triggered childhood PTSD from when I was 9: I bought a model F-16, my favorite airplane ever, at a pharmacy with my first $10 bill.

Not knowing how to read English back then, I got home, opened the box and proceeded to excitedly detach every single part from the curiously numbered plastic holder, eager to build the plane. 😐

It wasn't until I was done ripping off the last little piece that I realized the purpose of the numbers. 30 years later, I've yet to assemble anything else other than my PCs.

I never got over that model building hobby failure! 🥲

Amazing I had a 1972 Beetle I knew every part of my engine. Being a female people didn't appreciate what I could do back then but they were impressed when I would get out of my Bug at a light and adjust things and back in and go.

That was a great video, you must have patiences of steel. I really enjoyed the start up and running sounds at the end of the Assembly it reminded me of my old VW beetle that I used to drive to school every day in 1972.

Thank You for uploading this how to presentation, and for the walk down memory lane.
