That's W zero. Not W O. VW engine codes introduced before 1971 had seven numerical digits and zero was the leading number of them. W never produced enough numbers to flip to 1 for that first digit.

www.books4cars.com has 500+ new/used VW manuals for sale. They had a couple different used 411/412 manuals for sale the last time I looked.

ok ordered one thanks. still curious as to type of carb used guess it was twin

If it was pre-70....it was twin carb European...or gray market through Canada. There were a very few W series engines in early 1971 (first year for 411 in North America) that all came with D-jet injection.

the carbs were most likely Solex 40 PDSIT if memory serves. Ray

The manual you ordered will have pictures in it. I was just thinking you should buy this stuff from adamharo in his thread below.

W is always D-jetronic fuelinjected engine(from factory).

This is how the Type 4 was equipped as far as my records show...

http://www.vwocgb.com/chassis.php?chassisID=8

I produce that listing for Volkswagen Owners Club GB some years ago from my VW documentation.

'W' series Type 4 engine all equipped with Bosch fuel injection. I've used four vehicles powered by that engine in the past. Three Type 4s and one transplanted into a 1973 Type 2.

I was going to add that I have 2 "W" code engines, both out of 411's, both wagons and the model years are '71 and '72. I'm going to hazard a guess that someone yanked an engine from a 411 and converted it to dual carb... Smile

Also to all of those looking on who are not from Europe....that is primarily a European list. It does not show the EA and EB series that were in the US. Ray
