* Firing Order: The firing order of a 1600cc air-cooled Volkswagen Beetle engine is 1-4-3-2. This means the cylinders ignite in that sequence.
* Cylinder Numbering: The cylinders are numbered from the front of the engine (closest to the radiator) to the back.
Therefore, cylinder number 2 is the cylinder at the back of the engine.
