VW 70X – the T4's type code: front- and four-wheel drive with a 2.5-litre diesel, unladen weight 1.6 to 2.6 tonnes, widths up to 2.25 metres with twin rear wheels
Volkswagen runs the T4, introduced in 1990, internally as Type 70; the model designation 70X in this register gathers registration variants built on it, whose trailing letter-and-number combinations (02 D, 020, 02X, 0A, 0D) mark different body and drivetrain versions of the range. The T4 replaced the rear-wheel-drive T3 with a front-engine layout with front- or switchable four-wheel drive and was built in Hanover and, from the 1990s, also in Poznań.

The register lists 7 versions in this range with unladen weights of 1,620 to 2,550 kg, gross weights of 2,515 to 3,300 kg and widths of 1,800 to 2,250 mm; the recorded versions with a displacement figure show 2,461 cm³, the range's well-known 2.5-litre diesel.
With the T4, Volkswagen moved the Transporter range onto a modern drivetrain layout familiar from car production and set the benchmark for European rivals such as the Ford Transit and the Mercedes Vito; the wider versions in this register correspond to variants with twin rear wheels for higher payloads.
When buying a used T4, checks include the timing-belt change per the maker's schedule, rust in the sills and wheel arches, on four-wheel-drive versions the condition of the viscous coupling, and on automatic transmissions the service history; parts are well available through the broad Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles network.
