VW 411

Great model!

I owned one of those things, must have been maybe late 70's.  Kind of a rare VW animal, not many sold, it ran well, had lots of room, but then the trouble started.  Fuel injection was faulty and difficult to tune, read it guzzled gas like a V8!  I was happy to get rid of it.

I worked as a porter at a VW dealer back in the mid 70s and got to sample a few of the Type 4s.They were stone slow and would develop a fluctuating idle problem.I don't remember the fix for it.The engine was the same type as the concurrent Type 2(Bus).And they even sold a few manual trans equipped cars here-those were all 2 door fastbacks and they were almost peppy.Any other version had an automatic trans.
