Who knows this car?

What engine did it use and where has it been in service?

Steam engine

grobmotorix · « **Reply #3 on:** September 27, 2012, 01:50:59 PM »

No, sorry.

It features no stock Beetle for sure, but it is not this exotic.

Radial engine?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #5 on:** September 27, 2012, 04:02:39 PM »

No, but the engine is the clue.

It has been designed for this type of Beetle (maybe there were some more of this?) for a very special use...

Some sort of marine use?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #7 on:** September 29, 2012, 05:03:14 PM »

Not for use on or in or under water, but...

Water-cooled engine, with radiator up front?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #9 on:** September 30, 2012, 06:15:34 AM »

watercooled - yes. I don´t know where the radiator sits.

No gasoline...!

Diesel test mule for Golf?

D-type · « **Reply #11 on:** September 30, 2012, 01:44:41 PM »

LPG powered?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #12 on:** September 30, 2012, 02:02:47 PM »

It is indeed a Diesel, but its not been developed for VW, and it has served a very specific job for a company.

Zerk · « **Reply #13 on:** October 03, 2012, 01:58:15 PM »

Is it a mobile pump?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #14 on:** October 03, 2012, 04:47:47 PM »

No. Only because it was designed like this it was useable for this company...

Zerk · « **Reply #15 on:** October 04, 2012, 07:47:03 PM »

Is its purpose to start jet aircraft

grobmotorix · « **Reply #16 on:** October 05, 2012, 01:50:40 PM »

No.

LAST BIG HINT:

It just can be used there with this engine...!

grobmotorix · « **Reply #17 on:** October 07, 2012, 02:17:16 PM »

Do YOU know it?

Wendax · « **Reply #18 on:** October 07, 2012, 02:20:06 PM »

Used in a mine?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #19 on:** October 07, 2012, 02:23:22 PM »

YES!

LOCKED again!

Wendax · « **Reply #20 on:** October 07, 2012, 04:35:22 PM »

Used in the salt mines of K & S (Kali und Salz).

grobmotorix · « **Reply #21 on:** October 07, 2012, 05:33:07 PM »

Maybe yes.

I only have the company´s name that has built the engine and a place.
And it has indeed been used in a salt mine in Germany.

So, tell me who´s built the engine and the point is yours.

Wendax · « **Reply #22 on:** October 08, 2012, 02:21:41 AM »

I know I've seen it before, but I just can't find it. So I will have a guess: Farymann?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #23 on:** October 08, 2012, 12:09:42 PM »

No, sorry. May I unlock it again?

Wendax · « **Reply #24 on:** October 08, 2012, 12:14:59 PM »

You may unlock.

Was it a Deutz engine?
