Hi guys
I got a lonely type 4 looking for a hot blonde - interested in walks down long roads and spending evenings watching tv...
Just jokes. I'm looking for the closest year that this engine was produced in - CA 026 841, its a 1700 with the twin carbs.
We just want to check that the engine year lines up with the body...
Anyone have years and the corresponding engine numbers?
Thanks

Re: Date for a Type 4 Engine
Thanks Guys, ya, its a type 4 in a type 2. Was mainly looking to narrow it down a bit to a specific year. I'll do another search later in my free time. Effort is much appreciated though

Re: Date for a Type 4 Engine
Assuming "Generator" refers to a dynamo, I must confess to never having heard of a VW Type 4 style engine, on either a VW 411 & 412 or VW Type 2, being equipped with a dynamo, rather than an alternator!eben wrote:From thesamba:
