[edit] VW Type 2, generation T3

Edit for incorrect info: this article has nothing to do with the type 2 or type 3 vw. A type 2 vw is the bus up until the mid 1970's and the type 3 vw is a squareback, fastback and notchback. The bus from the mid 1970's up was then the type 4 on into the vanagon. This article has good info on the vanagon the author just has no clue on which type is what. -- 66.151.63.2 on the page.

The generations of VW Bus and VW Transporter are called T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5. That's where the T3 in the title come from, not from the Volkswagen Type 3 that is a completely different car.

I have in several places seen this T3 generation be called Type 2. And it is a natural successor of the T1 and T2 generations of the Volkswagen Type 2. I have even in some occations seen the T4 and the T5 generations be called Type 2. --Boivie 06:37, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Volkswagen Type 4 is also a completely different car. But the engine from Type 4 was used in the bus from 1972. --Boivie 08:27, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

The designation "Type 2" refers to the entire VW bus/van line. The Type 2, T1 split window bus was the first. The Type 2, T2 bay window bus came in 1968. The Type 2, T25 Vanagon/Transporter came in 1980. They're all "Type 2". --66.159.199.231 16:47, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

I removed the Repair Tips section. It doesn't belong in an Encyclopedia. Jonathan Karlsson 19:17, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Could someone check up on the enginecodes? I just added a host of 1.9 litre variants described in my Haynes manual, but it doesn't mention the "DH" engine code as a previous person has stated exists. Is it wrong? should it possibly be "GW" instead?

Also, wasn't even a 50hp 1600 aircooled availiable early on in the production run? tilstad 30.1.2007
