Rear bed

The latch that allows the lower bed to slide back and ?forth is not working and bent. Does anyone know where to get a new handle??

Thanks

Check engine light

#152741

My check engine light comes on when I first start my car and says on until I turn the car off. If I then turn the car on the light says off for the rest of the day. Any suggestions on what is going on? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I've gotten very used to this forum, can find most anything I want. I see Samba has a Eurovan group - with 30+ postings on a thread about mostly nothing.  Seems like "a social media".

Being dense, I can't figure out the Samba searching techniques.  No matter what I type in, nothing returns.  With a lack of insight how how to find anything, Samba offers me little.

Hey - I notice you pull a bambi. I am currently wiring up my 2002 EV to tow a 17 foot ultra light trailer (a safari condo alto 1743), with trailer brakes. Curious if you know how your 7 blade is wired into the brake system? I have a tekonsha RF on order to take car of the brake control.

Unsure if you meant the metal pan or the foam liner. If its the foam liner, get yourself an old mattress and rip it apart.

Sound deadening? I would wing it with something like Dynamat. Not sure that any road or engine noise is reduced by anything in the sound-deadening pan BUT I would throw something down on the pan.

Which group size fits with the swivel? The stock battery is too tall.

VW has them for about $100. Sears international battery is also good.

House battery for driver's seat with swivel?

#152721

I've been trying to search this group for the best option for a house battery for a Eurovan with a driver's side seat swivel. The search is proving futile so I'll just ask.

What wave people found to be the best solution? (2003 Weekender)

Thanks

Sound deadening

#152720

Has anyone in the group replaced the sound deadening in the lower body pan in a late model Eurovan?

I see a listing in VW dealer parts for a replacement- but it doesn't offer a picture or much info.

Mice have wrecked mine- and I am thinking either of getting an OEM replacement or just winging it with off-the-shelf replacement pads/panels/etc.

Amy comments appreciated.

Stereo is probably on your starter battery.

Actually, in this case it is in the folds of the pop-up. I have felt along the metal track and that will be dry, while within one of the folds there will be water.?

Your Stereo runs off your starter battery the same way any car does, so that is what is draining your battery, it usually doesn't take too long either.?

My Euro is 1993 Westfalia. When I stop and camp,both the starting battery and auxiliary become drained if I use my cabin lights and stereo. I am wondering why my starter battery also gets drained. I was sure my starter battery should be protected in this situation??

Heater Flaps

#152717

After seeing references to foam spitting out of the vents, I finally pulled my dashboard and looked into the heater.? I saw nice, clean flaps; w/o a trace of foam.

Re: Changing differential gear oil

#152716

To check diff oil level in my 99, the plug is behind (above) the pendulum mount.? Easiest to remove the pendulum mount to check and add, but it can be done by not removing it if you have enough extensions to wrench from behind the subframe.? I have not seen a way to drain the differential?? Someone please chime in if you know the secret, other than suction out and replace.? I'd like to drain mine.
