There was also a basic bus, with an inline-4 inclined 1.8-litre carburettor engine. The 1.8-litre carb motor was a Golf-derived motor, fitted into the bus like an inline-4 diesel in a T3.

Introduced in 1990, the T4 was the first Volkswagen van to have a front-mounted, water-cooled engine. Prompted by the success of similar moves with their passenger cars, Volkswagen had toyed with the idea of replacing their air-cooled, rear-engined T2 vans with a front-engined, water-cooled design in the late 1970s.
