After
having started in 1973 a study on new
engines, Volkswagen introduce the Type 4
engine with 2 L which, incidently,
replaces the 1800 cm3. Based on an
boring-out of 94 mm and a run of 71 mm,
this 1970 cm3 offers a power of 70 hp at
4200 revolutions. It is the same engine as
the 1800 cm3, the only difference being
the run and the boring-out.

Still
in 1975, an injection system referenced
Bosh AFC is proposed on the 1800 cm3 for
the U.S. market and more locally
California ! To come back to the 2 liters
engine, this one imposes new ratios at the
automatic gear-box level, and a clutch of
228 mm is now requested for the manual
gear-boxes.

For
the body, the tail-gate and the hood locks
are now in black plastic. In September of
the same year, the brakes callipers ATE
are replaced by similar models of the
brand GIRLING, except for the brake pads
that pass from 12 mm to 14 mm of
thickness. The gas tank, placed under the
driver seat, has a small window to check
the level.
