All Type 3s, All Type 4s, Beetles '75-'79 and Buses '75-'79 and Vanagons '80-'83 that had fuel injection did NOT have O2 sensors, EXCEPT for some California models. I believe the only air-cooled Vanagons with O2 sensors are California models. I know my '81 doesn't have one and it's not supposed to. I know the '79 CA Buses had O2 sensors, and even tho the '78 CA Buses had catalytic converters, i don't think they had O2 sensors. The CA air-cooled Vanagons also have electronic ignition while the federal models have standard points-and-condenser ignition. When they switched to the wasserboxer, I think they all got O2 sensors.
