t4....It is a 70's model....always been a type 3 squareback. never known as a wagon. It was a 1600 cc engine, and was Bosch fuelinjected and produced 65 hp. Had the same engine confriguration as all air cooled VW's but had a different cooling system that made people call it a flat or pan cake engine. The air intake in the rear fenders were fins and they were turned backwards( a vw goof ) This made the engine over heat around town, and the engine block would warp and lock up, if it didn't lock up the main bearing journals in the block would wallow out and it would loose oil pressure then lock up....yep it was a great car not to own........ info from a factory trained VW TECH ME!
