There are differences T1, type 1, T2, type 2 etc.
For the newer forum users, sometimes the codes get misunderstood or misused.
Most know, but for those that don't this may help.
Type 1 is all beetles.
Type 1 motor is smaller up 1600cc motor used in Beetles, Country buggies, Karmann Ghia's, Type 3's, T1 kombies and early T2 kombies
Type 2 is all "Kombies" including busses, utes, panelvans.
Type 3 is fastback, squareback, notchback.
Type 4 is strange vehicle we didn't get much of here. - picture someone?
Type 4 motor is larger 1700cc- 2000cc motor used in Later T2 kombies.
T1 is all split screen type 2 up to '67
T2 is all bay or curvy screen type 2 '68-'79
T3 is wedge screen 'squarer style' or Vanagon.
T4 is The newer generation VW vans
Correct me here guys if I am wrong, but the 'T' may be for Transporter?
There is more detail and a lot of pics needed to eplain the minor differences, but I just wanted to at least distinguish that there is a difference
between T1, type 1, T2, type 2

Type 3 engine is different to type 1 as well. Type 1's have upright fans, Type 3 has the fan mounted on the front of the engine.
Heres a cool type 4

Type 3 engines are unique in that they will keep running without a fan belt, as the Fan is located on the end of the crankshaft.
Type 4's as in 411 & 412 were sold in NZ -New Guinea & south Africa in RHD but were never sold here... they were available as 2 & 4
door models., fastback & squareback (Variant) models... Simon Glen in Toowoomba has a restored model 411...
Do type 4 engines have the fan on the end of the crankshaft also??
Thats a nice pic of a customised 412 [variant] Squareback.

yes type 4 engines have the fan on the end of the crankshaft.
have a look in the back of an 1800 or 2 litre kombi.
it is however possible to do an "upright" conversion to a type 4 engine.
most commonly used with "sharpbuilt" style Porsche copy fan shrouds and Porsche fans.
Most people seem normal, till you get to know them.

When were splits and bays ever called T1's or T2's. I have only ever heard this said in Oz. I know the type 25 is called a T3 here but when
the split came out it was just the type2 not the T1 type 2 or the the type 2 T1.

I've never heard the split kombi's called a T1, all kombis up to 1980 were known as type 2.

i don't think it's wrong to call a type 3 a t3, but then what you would call a t3 (wedge van) i would call a type 25.....
it appears that people in different countries have different ideas of whats what.....(i lived in the uk for the last 8 odd years)
is it really that important that everyone knows which code is 'correct' for each vehicle??? surely we all understand..... they are all
vw's at the end of the day

Just to add to the confusion
I "thought" the T3 was a water cooled vanagon (sorry Dave but it describes it best)
T2 Type 2's were the bay
I have an air cooled vanagon and i "thought" they were called T2.5's
Huh.... there all Volksies!

To satisfy my curiosity (ignorance) can someone please clarify (preferably with pics), the differences between fastback, squareback, and notchback.

German Folks
We basically call all type 2s kombi's, we know there are micros and panels and deluxes but in Oz all VW splits and bays are kombi's
Also for the newbies vw54 hates deluxes being called samba's, this has be going on since the forum started.
Recieved the WCM book thanks Dave.

I can guarantee if you ring up a Volkswagen place and ask for a T3 part when you mean Type 3, they will be expecting you to be talking about a
Caravelle/Vanagon/Wedge.
I just wanted to bring to light that a lot of people get confused on this issue, and I found it helpful to do a little research before calling our bus
a T2, as it is not short for Type 2.
