preacherman · 2004-06-09T12:17:33+00:00

Hi I will be showing my ignorance here but can someone please let me know what the different types are for VW's I know I have a Type 2 Splitty bus or is it a T2? What about the various Kombi types,. I take it that type 3's are the bay window Kombi's. I had a 85 Caravelle-is that a type 4 or T4? What is the 5 cyl later model? Squareback and Notches etc? The Beetle is Type 1 (or is it T1?). Does that apply to all Beetles even the 1976 Superbugs [Edited on 9-6-2004 by preacherman]

About the motor...is it a 1700 and 1800 kombi motor in the Type 4's. I really like the 412 Station Wagon. Is there one out there for sale??

Put it this way.....You can put a 2L kombi motor straight in as I did because you know how there is a type 4 motor in a Kombi,thats because they first made them for 411+412's before realising hey maybe we can fit these into Kombis!:thumbSo that is where the term T4 Kombi motor comes from.

i have a 68 type 4 they are the best engineered VW of the time i recon by far!!!! 4 doors there is no shifter tunnel easy seat 5 electric arial (added accesory) with a mcpherson strut front end allows plenty of front boot space aswell as space behind the rear seat also with all that room in the rear engine bay i think there ready for a EJ20T!!!!!! they also have a hydraulic clutch sytem!!

that's not actually a type 4....

it's a south american model called a brasilia, it had common parts with type 3 ghias, type 4's and a number of it's very own bits 😉
