Today's history lesson comes from Volkswagen as 40 years ago the Volkswagen VW 411 was revealed to the press. The company built 367,728 units of the VW 411 before the production stopped in July 1974. Currently 416 units are still registered as old-timers. The Volkswagen VW 411 is powered by a rear-mounted air-cooled 1.6 liter boxer engine developing 68 bhp. This engine could take the Volkswagen VW 411 up to a top speed of 145 km/h. The Volkswagen VW 411 offered a 570 liters of luggage space and was also available with an automatic transmission. The Volkswagen VW 411 is important for the company's history because it's the last large series model with air cooling and a rear-mounted engine.
Volkswagen Press Release: Forty years have passed since Volkswagen presented the VW 411, at that time the company’s largest and most powerful model yet, to some 200 journalists in Wolfsburg. The journalists had earlier put the VW 411 through its paces on the new Volkswagen proving ground in Ehra-Lessien, testing the vehicle’s equipment and performance. Volkswagen built 367,728 units until production ceased in July 1974, and 416 of these are currently registered as old-timers.
The ads claimed there had never been a VW like this before. And they were quite right. This was the very first model with a unibody, a four-door option, more space than any other Volkswagen and a longer wheelbase than the Beetle. A newly-designed, powerful, 68 bhp air-cooled 1.6 liter boxer engine mounted in the rear of the VW 411 was robust enough even for long journeys at a maximum speed of 145 km/h. The innovative sporty chassis with MacPherson strut front suspension and rear suspension with double joint axles also used in the Porsche 911 made sure the car held the road well. The midsize saloon featured “the luxury of a luxury car”.	Volkswagen VW 411 Photos
Available with either a Normal or an L equipment line, “Wolfsburg’s biggie” offered customers space and ride comfort, enhanced safety, a total 570 liters of luggage space in front and rear and an optional automatic transmission. The history of what was known as the Type 4 began in 1962 as development project EA 142. The economics of series production, which began in February 1967, were based on the sale of 822,500 vehicles over a four year period with daily production of 1,000 units.
	The price of the VW 411 ranged from 7,770 to 9,285 DM. Compared to the Gegenüber dem 1961 erschienenen VW 1500/1600, als dessen Nachfolger er antreten sollte, war dVW 1500/1600 launched in 1961, the VW 411 was noticeably larger and better equipped. Volkswagen aimed to establish the new vehicle in the upper midsize segment which was beyond the reach of the Beetle and the Type 3, and to expand the market position in the long term by broadening the model range. For this reason, the publicity concentrated on technical innovations and the high level of comfort as well as highlighting typical Volkswagen characteristics such as quality, economic efficiency and service.
In the run-up to the market launch on October 5, 1968, dealers, the press and customers responded positively to the VW 411. Once the car had come to market, problems with the clutch on the first models delivered and an increasingly negative press curbed sales prospects. The most common complaints from customers related to engine and driving noise, the engine’s limited output and what was perceived as an unaesthetic front end. Since over 80% of VW 411 buyers were already Volkswagen customers, the vehicle failed to win new customer groups. As a result of these marketing problems, which could not be remedied by sales incentives either, Volkswagen sporadically lowered production to 75 vehicles per day. The company introduced an improved version, the VW 411 E, for the 1970 model year. Electronic fuel injection boosted engine output to 80 bhp and the front end, which had given the model the nickname of “Nasenbär” (coati), received a facelift. The VW 411 E Variant, provided even more space for luggage, and this estate version was soon selling twice as well as the hatchback saloon. Type 4 exports to the USA began in ab 1971, and the car sold better than expected there, soon accounting for roughly 40% of total sales. A further new and improved model called the VW 412 followed in 1972. eingeführtes letztProduction of the Type 4 at the Wolfsburg plant continued until 1973, when the production line was relocated to Salzgitter, and production at Volkswagen of South Africa commenced in 1969. Even though the VW 411/412 did not break any sales records, the model nevertheless has an important role to play in Volkswagen’s automobile history as the last large series model with air cooling and a rear-mounted engine. A 1966 prototype is on display at the Automuseum Wolfsburg. The Type 4 has by no means been forgotten. Type 4 fan clubs in Germany and abroad have been presenting their lovingly preserved automotive rarities at a stand at Techno Classica since 2005.

This is a prices list and explanations page IN ENGLISH (translated by Joel B. Cort from the vanagon mailling list) on the complete or partial VW engine reconstructions orsealing of a motor that leaks, or all considerable works needed on the wasser motor. ATTENTION!!! For those that think that they only need a "Heads Gasket job" on those leaky heads, read attentively the first section on the VW motors. Sometimes, it is simple, and sometimes (rather often) it is NOT... This page also offers a good explanation on engines conversions, including the Vanaru/Subaru and Ford ZETEC.

DieseL

In 1951, Volkswagen prototyped a 1.3 L diesel engine. Volkswagen made only 2 air-cooled boxer dieseL engines that were not turbocharged, and installed one engine in a Type 1 and another in a Type 2. The diesel Beetle was time tested on the Nürburgring and achieved 0–100 km/h (0–60 mph) in 60 seconds^]

1975 models featured Air Flow Control (AFC) Fuel Injection on U. S., Canadian and Japanese Beetles, a derivative of the more complex Bosch fuel injection system used in the Volkswagen Type III — and equivalent toBosch L-jetronic. The fuel injected engine also received a new muffler and the option of an upstream catalytic converter required on some models (e.g. California), necessitating a bulge in the rear apron sheet metal directly under the rear bumper, and replacing the distinctive dual "pea shooter" pipes with a single offset tailpipe — making fuel injected models identifiable at a glance. Other changes were rack and pinion steering replacing the traditional worm and roller gearbox on Super Beetles, and a larger license plate lamp housing below the engine lid. The front turn indicators were moved from the top of the fenders into the bumper bars on European models.
In 1976, the optional "Auto-stick" transmission and the Super Beetle sedan were discontinued, with VW continuing to market the standard sedan and Super Beetle convertible. 1976-on Super Beetles Convertibles received no significant engineering changes, only a few cosmetic touches and new paint options, including the "Champagne Edition" models (white on white was one example) to the final 1979 "Epilogue Edition" black on black, in salute to the first Beetles produced in the 1930s. 1977 model sedans received front seats with separate head restraints.

طب ممكن سؤال
هو مش متعلق بالسيارة دي تحديدا
هو متعلق بالسيارات ذات المحرك الخلفي
Rear Engine
دلوقتي مش شايف اي فتحه تهوية من ورا او من قدام في السيارة دي
وحسب ما فهمت ان الموتور فوق ال 2000 سي سي الخلفي
وده شئ قوي يعني بيسخن
واتلخبطت في موضوع التبريد المائي والهوائي
يا ريت لو عندك توضيح للموضوع ده توضح بحيث عايز استفاد من موضوع المحرك الخلفي ده بشده
وهل البيتلز مش بتسخن رغم انها موتور خلفي وايه اللي ممكن يحصل في السيات 133 عشان متسخنش

السيات 133 عشان متسخنش
in my opinion
the only way to make the rediator
in the front of the car also open the a good hole after taht you will cover it with any
cute grill

and let the 2 water hoses
go on
inside
the car beside cluth cable
through the car floor to the hood
and it can be 2 tubes
for the hot water and another for the cold water
the same skoda 120
cooling system

the same looks like that




it was orginaly
looks like that
before tunning
because it had rear rediator orginaly








rear rediator over here


LOOK

الفكرة دي انا فكرت فيها فعلا
لكن فيه موضوعين بينبعو في الحاله دي
هل طلمبه المياة هتستحمل المسافه دي
وهل المرور في حاله الفحص وخلافه ملوش علاقه بالموضوع ده
وزياده انا من الحجات اللي فكرت فيها ان يبقي فيه راديتير ورا وراديتير قدام بحيث يشتغلو علي التوالي مثلا ويبقي امعانا في التبريد
