The Type 3 and Type 4 were the last of VW's air cooled models and preceded the massively successful VW Golf.
While the VW Beetle's battery was located under the rear seat, the Type 4 engine was located under the driver's seat.
While the Type 4 model was discontinued in 1974, the Type 4 engine became the power plant for the 1972 through 1979 VW Type 2 Transporter (the VW van), and continued in modified form in the VW Vanagon (air-cooled from 1980 through mid-1983, and water-cooled from late 1983 through 1991).

A general understanding the VW Type System will both assist you in communicating with your fellow Aircooled enthusiasts, and in deciphering many of the "numbers" associated with the marque.
The Beetle (or Type 1) chassis proved to be too weak to withstand the rigors of truck-use, and so a stiffer (and lighter) unitized body/chassis was developed.

The Type 3, officially the Volkswagen 1500, was designed to allow Volkswagen to make a more sophisticated car while maintaining much of the engineering from the Type 1.

 TheSamba.com :: View topic - 1968~79 VW Type 2 window wiper & washer upgrades
My system, which I believe is compatible with the rear hatches of both the 1964~67 and 1968~79 VW Type 2s, is a relatively simple adaptation, of the stock, factory-fitted SWF system, which I salvaged from a late-1970s to mid-1980s vintage, Vauxhall Astra Mk.
This would also, probably be practical, for British and European specification, 1968~71 VW Type 2s, but I am not sure about the USA specification vehicles, which have a bizarre electrical circuit, linking the turn-signals and brake lights and whose turn-signal and headlamp dimmer switch, seem to have some additional connections.
Although the 1973~74 VW Type2, has a flick-wipe facility for single-sweep windscreen wiping, there are occasions when an intermittent or variable-intermittent wiper frequency would be useful.

There is a breath of information here, from the basics (what is a type 3 and the 3 distinct versions that went into production) as well as some interested design studies and more obscure production cars from Brazil, to technical info about the engine and other need-to-know bits about this car.
There is a lot to see here, including photo galleries, rare add-ons to the type 3, restoration info, type 3 toys and a host of historical info and literature.
To be honest, before surfing these pages I didn't really know the difference between a type 3, type 4 or the Karmann type 3 Ghia, the type 34.

The Volkswagen Type 4 was a strange member of the VW family.
No part is interchangeable with the upright-fan Type 1 engine and trying to stuff it into a Type 1 is a nightmare (for all those who believe in quickie-solutions for increased engine power).

Before the introduction of the VW Type 3 station wagon in Australia, came the Type 3 panel van.
These vehicles were built in the Australian VW manufacturing plant and advertised as delivery vans.
The station wagon conversions were so popular that VW ceased production of the panel van and just produced a Type 3 stationwagon.

 Type 3 Air Deflector (Cool Tin) Installation
The Type 3 air deflectors (or "Cool Tin" as they are called by aftermarket parts suppliers) surround the lower half of the cylinders to provide better, more even circulation of cooling air.
A problem often cited when using Type 3 air deflectors is that they tend to pop off the studs, falling away from the cylinders, defeating their purpose.
Installation of the Type 3 air deflector tin requires clearancing the lower tinware that protects the pushrod tubes and serves as a plenum to discard the heated air.

 VWvortex Forums: 2003 Premature Fuel Pump Failures Verified by VW Tech [x-post]
What seems to do VW in is not poor engineering design, but manufacturing defects from their subs.
Blame goes to 3 entities in this situation: Ford for recommending an underinflation spec, Bridgestone for providing a tire that was intolerant of the level of underinflation, and the customers for not maintaining their vehicles properly.
In all likelihood, VW will make VDO foot the bill for this recall, partially or in full, since it ultimately was their failure- they did not provide a component that conformed to VW's requirements per the contract they signed to supply the parts.

Pre-70 Type 3's are called short-nose, because of their more round front, giving them a shorter apperance.
I was given a brand-new '62 Beetle with sunroof and Blaupunkt AM/FM radio (just about all the toys you could get on a Beetle back then!) for Christmas in 1961 (was a senior in High School, and a Beetle was THE status symbol--indicating that a HS kid was really part of the inside crowd!).

The case is also jet washed for those who are restoring a VW and presentation is important.
No matter that the wedge port head design on the original Volkswagen engine was originally meant for 91 octane leaded gas, most customers use regular fuel because they have been conditioned to think of a VW as a vehicle which needs little maintenance and cheap gas, so they use 87 octane unleaded.
Until now, this has been a contributing factor to the intimate failure of many motors and industry's answer to this problem has been to lower compression by adding barrel or head shims to accommodate a lower octane.
