>T4... thats what vanagons are...

Uh-uh! They are T3s (the so-called Eurovan is the T4). This is German
vernacular, not official VWspeak. In England they call them Type 25
(this IS VWspeak). All VW type designations are actually 3-digit; for
popular purposes we merely leave off the latter 2, which indicate
subtype. So Type 25 in the so-called "Vanagon". The basic panelvan
will be say 250; a GL say 251; pickup 253; Syncro panel 254 etc (I
have invented the last digit on these... some listee(s) may know the
actual designations. The Split will be Type 20, Bay Type 22 (or
whatever).

Porsche uses  the same system, but that's not a coincidence.
