Remove bolts
Good news, you only have to undo eight bolts to remove a Kombi’s engine. Four on the crossmember, and four on the gearbox. It’s almost like the original engineers knew one day we’d be swapping it out for an electric one.
Before You Start!
Have everything you need?
Converting your Kombi is entirely doable for anyone with reasonable mechanical knowledge of their Kombi, and the time and patience to see it through. The following plans are based on a 1966 model, and there are bound to be challenges you encounter that aren’t covered here. We recommend using a professional for all wiring. Below you can connect with a supplier to order an all-in-one conversion kit. Or with our supplied list, you can source the parts yourself.
Well Done, You've Made It!
Good job, this was no simple feat. You’ve made your Kombi, and the world a better place.
