Re: Overheating - HELP !!
James 'JC' Gochoco
Hi Jerry,
Fans are working and is roaring load. This happens during city drive. I am not towing anything and the coolant level is in Max. I have not turn on my heater and when it hits 230 my A/C is not turn on. This puzzles me a lot. There is no engine leak that I know of. I will looking to this tommorow and will post later tommorow any results. Thanks.

now). You can basically only notice it when the hood is open. I don't have piston slap noise. Pulling the radiator forward (remove four bolts) gives more room, but working on it can still really be a pain. I haven't replaced my timing belt yet, though I worry about it off and on. Most on this list would suggest replacing it around 100K. EVs with VR6 engines have a larger engine compartment -- the nose sticks out further. I don't think it is possible to put a VR6 in the older frame without some serious body modifications. ----- Original Message -----

Re: 93 evmv cooling fans
Christian,
My 1st thought on your problem having trouble shot my fans which included reviewing the bently manual is a possibility that a single fault may be cause of your lack of AC and fans working. The AC electrical circuit is set up so if your AC is engaged + ignition switch is on, then the fans should both come on at low speed. If the 2 problems are related, trouble shooting the relays will not find this problem. I suggest you 1st look under the dash to make sure all electrical/vaccum lines are connected to the HVAC controls. I'll check the bentley manual tonight for you if there is anything else to check while you're under there.

Need urgent opinions on '91 Eurovan
Just looked at a Westfalia this evening. My wife and I were
originally planning on spending around CAD$8000 (USD$5000) on a Vanagon and then doing a motor swap but came across a '92 Eurovan Westy for CAD$19,000 (USD$11,875) tonight. It was in immaculate condition and has 185,000km (115,000 mi) on it. Every looked good except the motor (Audi 2.5L) made a kind of a ticking noise. It wasn't exactly a tick sound but similar...maybe a small exhaust header leak...or maybe it was normal, I'm not sure. When it first started up, the motor sounded a bit noisy (remotely similar to a diesel) but smoothed out with 1 or 2 seconds. Now, I've heard that '93 EVs had a piston slap problem and I am wondering if that's what I heard on this '92. Opinions? If it is a piston slap problem, would VW provide a cheap replacement motor if I'm the 2nd or 3rd owner? Ok, stop laughing, it was worth a shot. Is the piston slap problem serious or just an annoyance? Some Jeep 4.0L motors had the same problem but it wasn't supposed to adversely affect the motor's lifespan (although I've been skeptical). Anything else I need to watch out for? I might have another look at it tomorrow in the daylight. Oh, I do all the work on my wife's Subaru and my Jeep YJ. They're both really easy to work on. The EV's engine compartment looked very crowded. Anyone have opinions on that? Is it a real bear to work with? When does the timing belt need to be changed and how ugly is the job? What about the water pump? One more question: how many miles or km can I expect to get from the 2.5L motor? Has anyone swapped in a VR6? How difficult was the job? Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer my newbie questions. ...lars |

Re: tears and tires

While you're waiting to hear back about this, I suspect you'll do OK using the Goodyear, it being the same size/load rating/general specs as the Agilis. If you want two similar tires on the same axle get a pair of Nokian NRWs for the rear and put the remaining rear Agilis on as the spare.
