Volkswagen T25 History
The Volkswagen T25 is part of the historical Type 2 range and is still a popular sight on the roads of the UK. These vehicles were still produced with air cooled engines to begin with, but from 1983 the engines were all made water cooled. Volkswagen decided to stay with the air cooled engines for a long time, but as time went on, they were becoming more and more dated. Finally in 1983 they changed to the larger, water cooled engines which allow for better engine management. In 1986 the T25 received a facelift, which changed the round headlights to square, and gave the bumpers a new design, changing from the chrome ones.
