  • Microbus

    Any Volkswagen Transporter from 1949 to 1967, characterized by a split (two-piece) windshield and rounded body contours. all were powered by beetle Type 1 engines and all had 'reduction gears' on the half-axles. known also as T1 Transporters . This term is also used by VW SA for the present 5 Cyl. (Vanagon-style) van without exclusive options.

  • Owl

    A nickname for the Microbus .

  • Split

    The Microbus , made from 1949 to 1967. also called a Split-Window.

  • Samba

    Usually refers to the Microbus Deluxe Station Wagen, with 21 or 23 Windows and a Sunroof.

  • Safari windows

    A type of front windshield that tilts outward for additional ventilation. found only on Microbuses , and usually only on on those in equatorial/tropic countries.

  • T1

    The first generation of Transporters , from 1949-1967. Note that this is not Type 1, but just T1 (for Transporter 1 ). Strictly speaking, it should be Type 2 , T1 . Known as the Station Wagon or Microbus .

  • CV-joint

    ( Constant Velocity Joint ) One of the small circular devices at an end of an axle on a bus . Buses , Vanagons , and EuroVans have four of these, while the Syncro Vanagons have a total of eight. These are necessary to allow the axle to move up and down while still turning to propel the car. the joints need to be keep greased to function properly. when they are worn, they make a knocking-noise that strikes fear into the hearts of bus owners everywhere. Microbuses do not have CV joints, but use a 'swing-axle' and reduction gear box instead.
