Volkswagen Type 4 Engines and Transmissions

The Volkswagen Type 4 engine here is a 1.7-liter gasoline unit. Estate 3-door versions such as the 1.7 MT and 1.7 AT pair it with a manual or automatic transmission and a front-wheel-drive drivetrain, so you either shift yourself or let the gearbox work in traffic.
