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. |

Almost bought a used 412 when I wanted to semi-retire driving the 914 on a daily basis. The gasoline-fueled heater scared the h#** out of me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Got a new Jetta instead. 1983, I think.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Learned to drive in an Alaska Blue '73 412 wagon in 1974. If I remember correctly the gasoline heater had a timer on it. It was meant as a pre-heater until the engine warmed up and you got your heat in the usual manor. To this day still my favorite car. |
