What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 4 VW engines?
A re-design of the Type 1 engine was introduced in 1968 in the Volkswagen Type 4. It came to be known as the Type 4 engine. It was larger and more powerful and shared almost nothing with the Type 1 engine other than the general architecture of the longblock. The type 4 was originally designed for the 411 – 412 replacements for the T3 notchback/fastback/squareback. They were designed to move the 411/412 platform at autobahn speeds (around 100mph I think) for extended periods. They have better cooling, better breathing, and are far more rugged than the T1 motors.Type 3 and 4 engines are mid-sized engines built both for wildland mobility and large water capacity. The general difference between these two is that Type 4 engines have much larger water tanks than Type 3 engines.
What is the difference between a Type 3 and type 4 engine?
Type 3 and 4 engines are mid-sized engines built both for wildland mobility and large water capacity. The general difference between these two is that Type 4 engines have much larger water tanks than Type 3 engines. Types 5, 6, and 7 are typically customized to meet the needs of each specific department. These vehicles are typically pick-up truck-based with 4-wheel drive. These engines are often seen in both wildland and suburban settings. These fire engines have a much smaller configuration than a typical Type 3 or 4 engine.
