First introduced in 1992, the front engine/front-wheel-drive Volkswagen EuroVan replaced
the rear engine/rear-wheel-drive Vanagon which was descended from the legendary VW
micro-bus of the 50's and 60's. The EuroVan was a much bigger van than the Vanagon, and
even today, is roomier than most minivans.
The T4 Eurovan was produced from 1990 through the early 2000s when they were replaced by the T5.
This was only one major change during the production lifespan of the T4 which occurred in
1994 when the front end was re-shaped. This changed allowed the VR6 six-cylinder engine to
be mounted in the engine bay. This move greatly improved the vehicles performance. Those
vehicles that were given this re-shaping were called the T4b with the versions retaining
the original look being dubbed the T4a.
The V6 is the same engine used in some of Volkswagen's performance sedans. New cylinder
heads for the 2001 model year bumped horsepower from 140 at 4500 rpm to an impressive
201 horsepower at 6200 rpm. The power increase came from improved breathing, four-valve-per
cylinder heads replacing the three-valve heads on the 2000 model.
