The sixth listing on type4.org will be "traded" for $500 credit to the state of California and "disappeared" for "smog" reasons. Ed, a nice fellow, has tried to bring it back, but is frustrated by a oil issue over the heat exchanger, which makes it smoke. Like many of us in SF, places to work on automobiles are at a premium. Garages to work in would cost what most folks spend in rent to live in the rest of the US. Sooo, need a 412 wagon? Please save a VW!! Ok, it's not perfect, but it is California! Say what you will about our "Recall", our cars rock. LOOK MA NO RUST. Sooo, heat--- dash splits some sun stains and ok, he hasn't washed it in a year. Type4.org

So you have either a leaking valve cover, pushrod tube or a head gasket. All are easily in reach of the skills of the home mechanic. All can be replaced for about $20 in parts. Have Ed log on and we will walk him through it. Ray

HELLO ALL THERE!

I HAVE BOUGHT A 1969 411 AND THE CLUTCH IS VERY BAD.
I REMOVE THE ENGINE AND FOUND THAT THE FLYWHEEL IS IN VERY SORRY CONDITION.I HAVE IT RESURFACED BUT NOT A GOOD RESULT.
I WOULD LIKE TO BUY ONE 200MM IN GOOD CONDITION.
THERE IS ONLY 2 411S IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY SO SPARE PARTS ARE REALLY OUR WORST NIGHTMARE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP,

JORGE

what country are you in? I know where at least 3 411's are near me... so maybe I could help? are the flywheel's the same as in the 412s? if so i know where a few more are...

How dose one differentiate a 411 fly wheel, I may have one you can use?

I bought a 1.7 at at a swap meet for the heads and it may of come of a 411?

I do have a cluch disk (but nit a pressure plate that someone gave me) if you need that.

The 200mm clutch is a 69-70 European only size. But a 210 or215 will swap right in. Again where are you? Four speed 411/412 are quite rare inthe USA.
The 210 and 215 flywheels are the same as a bus 1.7 and 1.8. But the clutch disc is totally different on a 411/412. Its unique to this vehicle. Smaller spline. A bus pressure plate will work fine, but an actual 411/412 pressure plate would be better (havn't seen them in years) They had higher clamping pressure than the bus 1.7. Ray

Ray one of the motors I picked up has an EA case, any way I can tell if it was of a 411-412 or a 72-74 914? I just looked at it but I dont know what I did with flywheel, probably out in the shed some where

Someone did give me a cluch disk because the splines are definatly smaller but it did not come with this engine.

The EA engines were identical down to the last part # on the 411/412 and 914. Except for some sheet metal differences on the 914....and of course the clutch disc. The flywheel and PP were the same. Ray

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP !
I AM IN VENEZULA...
I AM ALONE HERE AS SPARE PARTS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO FOUND HERE.


THANK YOU

Hang in there Jorge! Ray
