Re: Disposal of 93 Weekender

 

The link to the pics doesn't work, at least not for me.
Re: The new T6 introduction!

 

Hey man, where did you get a 5 speed vanagon. I've heared its only available in Germany.
My Eurovan Cylinders 3, 4 and 5 has no power

 

Help!! My 1993? EV with 2.5 L Engine has no power on 3 cylinders. If I pull out the spark plugs individually? and test it outside it will spark. So I have ruled out the spark plugs and spark plug wires as the culprit. Anybody has experienced this kind of trouble? Thanks in advance for your help.

This solves a problem if your Norcold (Model 3163)? fridge lights ( green light goes on) but then- after you release the button- the green light goes out and you can't get the green light to stay on- no matter what you do.

Contact me off-group and we'll talk about this!

Thanks

Update on my 2003 EuroVan MV alignment: ? I decided to go with the local shop in my town so I could stay in close communication with the tech and keep the costs in check. ?They inspected the tie rods and agree with the VW dealer assessment that the inner tie rods need replacement. ?They also agree though with me that better to do the inner and outer on both sides given the 150K mileage. ?Upon inspection they saw some fluid was leaking fluid at the input shaft ?of the rack which would explain the low level I have seen but was somehow ignoring. I don't think a bad leak but decided to have them replace the rack at the same time as the tie rods. ?They completed that last week and adjusted the toe in/out back to spec. ?They also saw that the camber is off as I had know from the two previous VW dealer diagnostics. ?I asked them to first check and set the ride height before starting to make adjustments in the camber as suggested e arlier in this thread. ?The problem the shop ran into ( and I am having as well) is identifying the group number to use for specs. ?I read some of the posts here and saw one from Bob W that this number is the last of the third line of digits in the sticker on the plastic box cover. ?My sticker has "8L1" at the end of the third string.?? I have a Bentley Manual CD for this vehicle but unfortunately it doesn't open on my Macs and my work computer that has Windows 7. Thinking to go to Staples and see if they can read it and print out a copy. ?In the meantime, I would greatly appreciate if anyone can help me confirm that this "8L1" ?makes sense as the group number for a 2003 MV non-weekender and might have access to the ride height and ?alignment settings for this group number so I can double check what the alignment shop is using. ?

I posted a picture of my sticker on the fuse box cover in the PHOTOS section for reference?

Not an easy task. Tried that ratchet maneuver but kept slipping free. In the end, had a real strong son grasp it and compress it manually so I could get the lower attachment secured.

Weekender Weather Stripping

[email protected]
 

Hey All,


I just purchased a 2002 Weekender with the pop top. ?The weather stripping that's attached to the top is getting brittle. ?The actual part of the rubber that touches the van when the top is down is ok, but the part is securing it to the pop up top is hard and is starting to come off. ?I found some weather stripping by the foot from Bus Depot. ?Has anyone had any experience replacing the weather stripping? ?I can't imagine it's that complicated.


Thanks,

Matt
Re: 2003 EuroVan MV alignment advice needed

 

Ok, thanks! Group 5 then. On issue though is that is not even on the list of choices they had so need to recheck with the shop. This seems much more confusing than it should be.
Thanks again!

Which one?

Re: FLASH! VW introduces a new Campervan, the California

As I understand it, the imported vehicle has to meet US specs, which means a similar vehicle must have been EPA-certified and NHTSA-crash tested.

Not likely to happen.

Also make sure that the thermocouple sits over the flame in the burner box. ?Mine had moved out about 1/4", which led to a green light on while pressing the start button, but the light went out when the starter was released. ?I pushed the thermocouple back into place and the fridge has been fine.

Your van is Group 5.

The K5 stands for Kastenwagen, Group 5.
Re: Norcold woes

If the light is green- that means you do have a flame. When you put it in propane mode- the relighter module sends a spark to ignite the propane in the burner. So- I think you have the common problem of a "bad" relay in the relighter module. I have developed a fix for this which I have been supplying to members of the group.

Contact me directly ( sletz@msn .com) and lets see if I can help.

Thanks

I have now replaced two expensive relays in my AC system, # 140 and the evaporator temp control switch, but no joy. ? Have had two separate AC techs evaluate and each pointed to a different relay as not being functional, still no cool with both replaced. ? I am traveling now and heading for Calgary AB where I will be for a few days. ?I know there is at least one list member from Calgary and wonder if there might be a recommendation of a VW mechanic who might be helpful in sorting out the problems with my AC. ? From there I will be heading to Kelowna BC where it will definitely be hot, and it would be nice to have working AC.

Hi Ted,


I'm not sure about the AC - could be the hi/lo pressure switch. That was one of the bad components on my system. Do you hear the AC relay clicking on and off??

About the second problem, my van was doing the exact same thing after turning the ignition off, especially when the van was hot. It ended up being relay #18 to the left of the steering column. It was able to test it by pulling relay #18 out when the fans kept running and it solved the problem. I ordered a new relay online and the problem went away.?

For some reason I have had a number of failed relays in my EVC. That seems strange.

Best,

I am interested in locking this deal now, maybe give you some hand money before you travel, and come to you on the date you want to me to get the van and pay the rest.

All,

Thanks for the advice. As it turns out, due to travel and other factors I won't really have the time to sell or otherwise rid myself of the van until late July. Decisions will be made then and into August.?

In case you are interested in seeing the overall condition, I did upload some current pics of it to Flickr: ?.
