Cooling Fan
Eckhard Rolz
The same thing happened to me. Check the fuse. When you buy a new one,
make sure you get one with the correct Amps. My dealer had a little Ziplock bag with 50 or so fuses. If I had not checked I would have gotten the wrong one. They all look alike, so read what's printed on it. I think they cost $1.50 each. Good luck Eckhard |

Re: VWofA repurchase EVC?

There is a toll free number for VWoA customer service in Michigan that I have used to get information about the warranty service

history on VWs. You give them the VIN and they check the computer for repairs which were done under warranty. Tell them you want to purchase the EV and they should give you the information. If the dealer got reimbursed by VWoA for any warranty work it should show up in the computer. The phone number is 800-822-8987. Ask for customer service. Any dealer can also access these service records directly. I would also find out what the lemon laws are in your state and check the VIN with the state to see if anything comes up.

Re: EV5 timing belt
Harry Thompson
I can safely say based on experience that no damage occurs to the 5
cylinder Eurovan when the timing belt breaks. The VR-6 is probably an interference engine meaning the pistons would hit the valves if the timing belt broke. I believe the replacement interval is 60k. It does leave you stranded when it breaks. Has anyone done this job themselves? I replaced the front brake pads on my 93 MV this past weekend. A one hour job which turned into a 5 hour night mare due to a stuck caliper sliding pin.

Re: Tires pressure
Gary Clendening
Eurobagans,
We did get 40000 miles from the standard Goodyears and they were run with the Winnebago 50 lb pressure, but...the center began to wear too soon. That means over-inflation. After seeing that I began to reduce said pressure but lost a significant amount of mileage due to the worn center of the three tires. I think I'd agree that 50 is too much tire pressure. Some others have suggest 45-48 with good wear on the Agilis tire. When mine get on (after the body is fixed) they will start with 45 lbs. unless the list can suggest a better pressure. Any reports on the Backpacker trailer left to read? Gary from Maine |

Re: 1995 eurovan camper for sale
Tony and/or Donna Layng
Can't tell you the place we ordered it from now as it was about 6 years
ago. I found the address in an ad that was in a shortwave radio magazine that I picked up at the newstand. That's about the only way I know to buy one for a car. And now I can't remember the name of the magazine but if you go to a good newstand you'll find one. We love the radio as it makes it possible to travel without losing a signal, especially at night and other times in the a.m. when BBC comes in strong. DL |

It leaks when cold, even when the engine has been off for several weeks, but it does not leak when the engine is warm. My theory is that when the rubber is warm it is pliable enough to conform to the shape of the radiator fitting, but when it is cold it is stiff and allows a gap between mating surfaces.

I have been running the pressures in my 95 EVC at 48 psig front and rear. Reason is that at 50 psig tires showed some over inflation wear (centre of tread wearing more than the rest of the tread), but at 48, on all four tires, wear is quite even and tires are running cool - this is after many long trips at the lower pressure. There are a lot of variables so your experience could be different. Dick Vancouver Island ----- Original Message -----

Tires pressure
I have an '97 EVC and just bought new tires, Michelin Agilis 51.
Tires size 205/65/R15C. I kwew that the Eurovan door sticker say 51 psi front and 45 psi rear. The Winnebago door sticker say 50 psi front and 50 psi rear. Now the tire dealer has a "1999 Tires Guide" that rate the 1999 Eurovan Camper at only 42 psi front and 36 psi rear. The guide do not have as reference for 1997 model year. I always put 50 PSI in my tires but also always found the ride a bit hard. I will like comments on tires pressure if anyone is driving on less than Winnebago door sticker. Thank you Claude '97 EVC |

There is no mention of it in the owner's manual except to "check the condition of the belt" at something like 60,000 miles. I asked the FLVWD about replacing the timing belt at 70,000 miles and they said to not worry about it. They said it will go for more than 100,000 miles, and if it does break, nothing will be damaged. I've had timing belts in other VWs break and nothing happen, but they were not EVs which are a different bird altogether. . . Todd |

Re: '99 MV vs. GL
David,
The rear facing seats and fold out table get constant use in our '93 MV. Of course mostly by my kids but I do enjoy sitting on the rear bench on the table side. The rear facing seats are a problem for some adults. The best deal is the newest MV out in Germany. The center seats are modular and can be installed either facing forward or back. maybe we'll see it on the 2000 MV. Ron |

Re: '93 GL..rear side windows and/or roof vent?
Bill,
Just a couple comments to consider... 1- The MV and MV Weekender have different slider windows. The difference is the Weekender has screens. 2- I cannot keep the sliders open on my MV when moving without getting an annoying air noise that no one can take very long. Of course they are great when stationary. Ron |
