I¡¯m the second owner of my 2000 EVW and bought it meticulously maintained with 395k miles on the odo. The eng was still original and the trans had been replaced under warranty around 65k iirc. It came with an inches thick stack of records and makes for a good case study of how to keep your Eurovan on the road over 200k miles.... I replaced the original VR6 eng shortly after purchase at 395k with the 1.9TDI eng and did the 5-spd 02B conv ?at the same time (the conv to Syncro/awd came later).?
?
a couple interesting notes:
According to the records the heater core was done shortly before I bought it at in 2010 w/ approximately 375k for the first time. ?
This past winter at the well worn age of 481k miles I replaced the original radiator which had developed a small leak along the end cap union. ?
