How to DROP your VW bus engine (Type IV Transporter) 

Im currently working on getting my bus running again.. Was my moms.. She has dementia and its been sitting for a few years. I want to get it running to take her cruisin.. This video was wonderful. Thank you

Amazing that the whole thing is held in by 8 bolts. I am still yet to have to drop the engine on mine, however this video is a huge help in planning for that big day.

I found on my 1979 bus I had to remove the dipstick cover that bolts to the block. This gave me a little extra clearance to pull the engine back before I could drop it down. Not sure if this is the case often but it helped me. I did the removal and install solo. I am sure your video will help anyone with removal of engine.

Lovely video and music - I'm going to attempt doing this on my T25. Pictures and videos are v. simple and helpful. As an ex-teacher, I salute the clarity & communication

Thanks for the video. Pulled my 1976 bus engine today inspired by your video and ratwell's page. Much easier than I thought it would be.

Thank you for this bro. Peace out and VW on!!

Liked the original music, the quality video, and info on both!

This is really a great video with very detailed instructions for professionals as well as the diy as to what to watch out for if you decide to dive in. The other teaching videos are no good except to the skilled mechanic. Good job Colby !

About to pull mine x2! I have your vid on loop.

very helpful thank you, I just bought a bus and am trying to take the moter out for the first time right now

Brilliant.

Love the video man.

hey this was pretty good and well edited, surprised your video didnt have many hits... you could put "Type IV" and maybe "Baywindow" in the title....might help people find it. thanks.

Very good video! Love the song! ✌❤🙏

Excellent video, and much appreciated.

Good video tutorial. Good job

Wish u we’re close to Indiana

NEVER- EVER jack the bus using the underside of the engine block. !!!!! You will distort the aluminum there and hence ruin the tolerance of the crankshaft bearings a few cm above it ! The right procedure is: jack the bus on its designed jackpoints right and left. Place it firm on short columns. Now place a big firm flat plate on the jack, place it under the engine, its centre of gravity. Apply very light load, to unload the engine bolts. Now let the engine down. Jacking a Beetle of or even a heavier bus under the block cause distortion. It is COMPLETELY WRONG. You can expect an expensive a line boring of the bearings of the block. Every commenter saying how good you are is wrong. (my opinion only) With KIND gerards, Louis van Rijn.

Well done video. Thanks

Me acabo de aventar ese jale es entretenido y se enamora más de la combi .

Great Vid Dude! Thanks

Noice!😎

WAIT... You took off the tin before you dropped it?

It is not a T4 - I think it's T3 and ought to remember but don't. I have a T4 my friend and have a job to do on it. Perhaps you might be good enough to change the title which might stop the misleading search results whilst, if you add a tag (one of these - '#') you may gain some relevant views which help those who came to research whilst also sharing in your ventures - :-)

The music is so annoying
