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. |

Did the 412 have a type 4 like the 914 or a bus type 4?
I guess the only difference is the oil dip stick location, cam, and FI tuning? |

Don't know about the 1.8L in the 412 and whether it had Djet or Ljet fuel injection system in the USA. L Jet. slightly different configuration of components. all were full automatics. no manual 1.8. californian version was called an EC-D engine. not sure on 49 states. no info. might have been an EC-C. the 412 got the L jet approx 3 months before the 914 - which makes it the first production car to be fitted with L jet. 914 beginning production late oct 73 is the second if you want to split hairs and get down to months instead of years. there was 74 bus for california that was the third L jet - entered production 3 months after the 914. the opel manta was the fourth. 3 months after the bus in march 74. all the european 412s did not have L jet. carbs instead. L Jet only in the USA. there was a 74 412 with manual gearbox and that used the 1.7 D jet. think it might only have been available as the 2 door fastback. the wagon and the 4 door used the 1.8 and were auto. |
