Re: 2000 Eurovan with P0300, P0302, P0306
Thanks, Sam,
- Dirty Injectors / bad fuel: definitely possible, and running a can of injector cleaner through would be a cheap test.
Other details:
- I went over my service records, and although the spark plug wires and coils are new as of 5k miles ago, the spark plugs themselves are 25K miles old. This doesn't sound that bad, except 25k miles ago was nearly 10 years ago (I really don't drive this van much.)
- I let the van idle in the driveway for about 20 minutes - very gassy smelling exhaust. Or do injectors fail in a way that can release too much fuel into the cylinder?
- I kept clearing the codes and the same three came back repeatedly (P0300, P0302, P0306). Does this suggest it's a Spark problem rather than an Injector problem?
- after about 20 minutes, the misfires stopped happening, and the codes did not come back.

P0300 Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
P0302 Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected
P0306 Cylinder 6 Misfire Detected
Details:
- 2000 Eurovan Camper with 108K miles
- before today, the van had not been driven substantially since November
- it is humid and raining lightly today, and in the past I've had similar misfires after I had washed the engine compartment.
- But the engine is dry (there were no puddles on the ground).
- the gasoline in the van is probably 6 months (?) old, at about 1/2 tank
- Coil Pack and spark plug wires were replaced 5000 miles ago at VW dealer (presumably, using OEM parts)
Any advice where to start?

2001 Eurovan Weekender Starter Battery - General Share
Interstate battery center just replaced my Interstate H5 sized starter battery that I purchased in 2015 with an H6 sized battery. More CCA, longer warranty, longer expected life, etc.?. $172. I've found it lower online, but they took out the old battery & installed the new one so I figured it was worth it to support a local shop.
By the way, I replaced the battery because my Weekender wouldn't start. This despite the fact that I use a CTEK charger to maintain the battery. I tested the charger against my Aux battery and the CTEK responded as expected, but when I connected via the cig lighter in the dash, there was no response from the CTEK. Interstate said it was probably because the old battery voltage was too low. I was able to get the van started using my old trusty Sears charger set to 10 amps for about a min. After getting the new battery, I noticed my phone wasn't charging using the dash cig lighter & figured a fuse got blown somehow during the battery swap. When I returned home, I connected the CTEK to the dash cig lighter & once again - nothing. It then hit me that my cig lighter was probably dead all along & my CTEK wasn't actually maintaining the battery. It's possible I replaced a starter battery prematurely. On the other hand it was over 5 years old, so perhaps prudent to go ahead & replace the starter battery now.?
Going forward, I will make a mental note to not just periodically look at the CTEK to ensure it's on during the Winter, but to actually look more closely to ensure it's actually maintaining the battery.
So, if you've wondered it the Eurovan can take a slightly bigger battery, I can attest that it can.

Plenty of others too...
Someone's gotta be able to make you one, I would think. Good luck!

The Automatic version part number is? 701723555G.? The key is the center three numbers.? 723 is for an automatic.? All of the cables for the Manual are 721.? Those are the only ones that anyone actually has.

Re: Winnebago EVC pop top care
Noel, Please let us know what products you used and how it turned out. Will you be doing it by hand or a powered polisher?

I was thinking some of the products used for shining pleasure boats might provide good results.? I have lots of little projects to work on the van this spring, the poptop is high on the list.?

Also, looks like this thing is NLA.? Why Volkswagen didn't just plumb it into the air cleaner is beyond me.? This is why I'll never buy another Volkswagen....?

It's called an air filter.? P/n 037133843A.? That solenoid valve directly under it operates, and this widget just keeps the air clean when it vents.? When I bought my 2000 this filter was missing.? HTH.

What year and engine? It makes a difference. Also it looks like it on the passenger side by the A/C lines.

Re: Winnebago EVC pop top care
Hi All,
I would be very interested as well as to what others use to polish up their Winnebago pop top. My 1995 EVC needs a real cleaning and polish!

The Winnebago top is a plastic, not a fibreglass product.
I am getting ready for some spring cleaning to get ready for camping season.
What product should I use to clean the top and then give it a protective coating? What have any of you used to shine it up.

My ¡¯99 has that pipe and it just terminates in a little white cap - no idea what it is. Pic attached.

The other week my CEL came on and did not have a code associated with it. As I looked around I noticed a light weight line coming from MY left side of the intake manifold. With the short length it is I thought it would be easy to find where it popped off from.? Nope.?
Here is the gem right in the middle of the photo. Does anyone know where this might attach? ?

Thanks, Chandler Priebe (who seems to be fixing this up ) ?
