Just wondering if anyone drives a VW Type 4. I never see them mentioned on this site.
Just curious how hard it is to get parts e.g. seals, seat covers, headliners, etc? Does the transmission share engagement teeth and sncyros with our 914's? Maybe it's me, but I can't find 411/412 parts on common VW parts store like bus depot, CIP1, etc. |

I ordered a new Westmoreland built Vw GTI in September 1982 and took delivery on Christmas Eve. The Salesman lived near me and offered to take the car when it needed service and would swap his demonstrator. Well, that was a VW 412 automatic. My commute was 45 miles each way so I got a good chance to put some miles on one. I loved the gas heater and the instant heat. It performed well for the time and frankly, I liked it. A manual would have been better though.
