To remove the engine from its housing in a Volkswagen Beetle, open the rear hatch, as this model has a rear engine. To remove it from its housing, loosen all the screws that secure the engine block to its supports, then disconnect the corresponding connectors.

This way, the engine block can be extracted from inside its housing, sliding it out from the underside of the car: at this point, it will be possible to insert the new engine, securing and connecting it properly.
