Re: Steel Wheels
I recently had to get a new wheel for my 412 as one of them was corroded to the point it wouldn't hold air, the bead wouldn't seat properly so the tyre deflated slowly over the period of a week. This rim was the only one that had a different ET on it, can't remember what it was now. The new wheel ca...

Re: Will a Type 3 Tow Bar fit a Type 4?
I do have a towbar on my 412 and I have one lined up for my 411 as well.
If needed I'll have a look and see how its mounted, not sure if there is more than one design like the Type 2 has several after-market styles and the I know the Type 1 has more than one that requires different fitting methods.

Re: Stranger photographing car
Thanks guys, I think it might be worth a phone call tomorrow and I'll take it to work with me so it's out of the way for a couple of days. Unfortunately I have no drive way for bollards but I do have several nosey neighbours that could keep an eye out for me. In the meantime I like to think that it ...

Stranger photographing car
Whilst at work today I had a message from my son that 'some bloke' was taking pictures of my old 412 in front of the house this morning. When my boy approached him he drove off. I've got a reg number of the vehicle he was driving and a description of the bloke from him but what do I do with this inf...

Re: Dutch 412 Variant
So the adjustment to the rear shocks is pneumatic, did it take much modification to make them fit?

Re: New member introduction
Not many shows are attended by Type 4s as there isn't many of them left to attend any shows. I have seen three at VW Action a couple of years ago, one of which was mine. If you're able to get it back on the road this summer another line up at Action could be an idea, assuming we can get a club displ...

Either way it is a great looking 412, so glad you liked the first drive and didn't hate it

Re: 411-412
I think glass and doors are ok but wings definitly aren't due to the lights changing size and position, not obvious on the rear but it is enough. What some have done is graft the light section from different cars to make a good 411 or 412 as required. Engines are basically the same just carbs or inj...

Re: 72 Variant Daily Driver
Is indeed a lovely example of a Type 4, I saw it whilst it was in bits up at the Farm and it looked pretty solid then. Hope you continue to enjoy driving it as much as I enjoy my 412!
Can't wait for my 411 to be back on the road now, hopefully this year

Re: Main beam and indicators only working intermittently.
My main beam packed up a little while ago and it turned out to be the contact on the switch wasn't making contact when I pulled the switch forward. A little bending with a small screwdriver solved that one. As for relays they are seperate as the indicator one is a flasher unit, on my 412 it has a ha...

Re: CHT sensor values
It does sound like an ignition fault to me, have you double checked the timing? Assuming that is correct are all the vacuum pipes in good order as these can mess the running of an injection engine quite a bit. These pipes control a lot of the information going to the 'brain', I know they have given ...
