'72 T2s had the 1.7L T4 engine, and the same bumpers and front turn signals as the 68-71 versions. No engine overhead access hatch. Early model tail lights. Solid panel across the back below the engine lid. First year for the engine mounts over the bell housing, giving 5 mounting points instead of 3. '73s had the same engine, but with the hatch, a paper element air cleaner, and a smog pump. The front turn signals were moved up high, and the bumpers became bigger and more simple. There was a large crush section behind the front bumper. No wraparound step on either end. Large tail lights in which the turn signal function was separated from the brake light bulb, and the back-up light was integrated. Busses had carbs through the '74 model year.
The T4 engine, as others have said, came to the market in 1969, installed in the 411, and later, the 412 model. The T4s had a gasoline heater, and nearly all of them sold in the US were equipped with auto transmissions. Just for fun, VW put the battery under the driver's seat and the master cylinder was bolted to the steering column ................... Unlike the T2s, all the US T4s were EFI. The 1.8 with L-jet appeared in '74. The Cap'n |
