I ran across this future title, June 2020, while searching for a book on the Veloce Publishing website. Thought it might be of interest to 914 Type 4 owners.
Below is the Amazon listing. https://www.amazon.com/Volkswagen-Type-Fina...ooks&sr=1-1 Attached image(s)

Apparently they suffered from overheating ,they used a air duct system direct into the fan like the T3 used,but it was less efficient with the T4 motor.
Yes they did have a hydraulic clutch and a dedicated gearbox only used on that model,the box had a removable metal oil pan and shared only a few parts with the swingaxle and IRS trans. They were a sales flop but people said they drove well due to a modern chassis ,the styling wasn't really well received by most,IMO the wagon looked alright. |
