Wrong! Vice versa! It�s the T3 version of the Type 2!

We discussed that a dozen times in the german VW-Bus Forum.
In Germany most dealers only understand T2 when ordering parts for the
vanagon, because "T3" stands for type3 in their computers (the aircooled
1600 variant).
You�d better say "T2", that is short for type2 in their computers, no matter
how old your transporter is. Only few people know the type2 T3 as a "T3".
But, the computer wants a "T4" when referring to a eurovan from �92.
As difficult here as in the states...

T1 for type1: bugs
T2 for type2:Transporters (T1-T3)
T3 for type3: VW 1600 (the aircooled "non-bugs")
T4 for the eurovan
