I am putting a type 4 motor into my auto fastie.
Does anyone know if the type 4 fex plate will bolt onto the type 3 convertor if not does the type 4 convertor fit the type 3 auto
thanks

The Type 4 crank has several bolts attaching the drive plate or flywheel while the 1600 Type 1 only has the main crank bolt so teh drive plates wont interchange on the engine
I would say that VW being tight arses didnt change the PCD of the bolt attach point to the torque converter.... so it will prob fit

yeah from memory the Type 4 flex plate bolts to teh flywheel using 5 bolts like the flywheel...
so i would be trying the wreckers.... but ask for teh PCD first and how many attach points tehre are to the torque converter.... but ask i said VW might not have changed.
hope it works

The bolt pattern is the same as for a Type 4 flywheel, but the bolts themselves are different.
