Eurovaneers:
I recently bought a '95 EV GLS with 100 000 kilometres on it. Fine
vehicle, but I have a couple of questions:
1. All this talk about auto. transmissions makes me think that I should
jump on the extended warranty while I still can. Is it worth the
$1150CAN if I plan to keep the van at least 5 years?
2. Is it common to have to try the starter twice after a 15 minute hot
soak? This only happened every now and then in my '84 Vanagon, but I
feel like it happens all the time with the Eurovan.
3. I know that everyone else has been driving their EVs for a long time
and are now de-sensitized, but should the front end be as noisy as it
is at highway speeds? Sounds almost like an unbalanced wheel or a shot
bearing, compared to my quiet (but slow) Vanagon.
Thanks in advance. I hope this gets through, as I had no success
sending things from my e-mail server.
