There was a German website that sold the repair piece. I can't find the
link, but a web search at www.yahoo.de may find it.

Describe the wear pattern and perhaps more help can be offered.

I have a problem with my 2000 EVC left tires wearing faster than the
right. I rotate tires every 5k miles and keep properly inflated.
The tires wear more when on the left rear. I am running Michelin
Aglisis and have 35k miles and need new tires. Dealer has no
explanation, Any ideas????

All,

In a prior post I advised the group that I'd been told there soon would be
"no new CV joints available for EVs, only rebuilts."

I've since learned that that's not correct. In correspondence with Steve at
europarts-sd.com I've learned the facts:

"Actually, VW had purchased their original joints from Lobro, as does nearly
every European car manufacturer. They are about the only manufacturer of
these joints. For some reason, VW has opted to have some independent
company rebuild the joints here in North America rather than continue to buy
new units from Lobro."

I've long known that VW doesn't manufacture its own joints (in fact, VW or
any auto"maker" doesn't manufacture much at all....mostly they design,
assemble and market) so when I first heard that VW wouldn't be "making" new
joints, I assumed that meant that LOBRO wouldn't be making new joints. Not
true. Lobro will STILL be making new joints for the time being.

All of which points to the real value of working with independents like
Steve at europarts-sd.com and Ron at busdepot.com. Rebuilt CV joints will
not last nearly as long as brand new joints. If you only buy from the
dealer you'd have no choice but to get rebuilts (and very likely the
dealer's parts counter will tell you--falsely--that only rebuilts are
available). Steve and Ron know better, so work with them instead.

Hi All,
I am new to eurovans but have had several t2 and t3.
Plan to purchase a hitchless 97 t4 camper and will need
to tow it home about 1000 miles. I plan to use a uhaul tow
dolly and a f 150.
Looking for sage advise with t4 tow dolly experience.
Thanks much.

--- > Ron,

Caveat emptor! When I looked into financing a new EV last year when
VW offered 0% (I have since been snapped out of my foolishness) I
found out that the deal was for a term of two years only. The
monthly payments were pretty high. At that time I found my credit
union had a much better deal. Just thought you'd want to know
that 'things aren't always what they seem'.

The blinds on the window of the big side door on my new (to me) 97

the door, tho. Where can I get replacement blinds?

I'm considering getting one of these for extra stuff on longer trips. They can be carried off, and are waterproof.



Also, some camping stores like Adventure 16 or REI carry these.

The van has Climatronic (all auto climate control ? we don?t like it so

Thanks for the heads up...

Hi Brad,
Have you checked your duct settings? I believe having it set
to 'defroster' kills the rear heater fan. Hope it's as simple as that.

Are there fuses associated with this that can be checked? Anyone

If it isn't a fuse... Is it the whole blower unit? Anything else to

Anyone know how much a new rear heater is? Can the old one be

VW key with a light in it to make "most" people happy, the battery
can be changed, but it's still wrong. And yes, all keys should start
the van, and be able to drive away.

Aha! Thanks. I test drove the MV with a 'flip' key that had the remote
lock/unlock buttons. When I bought it, they stalled me for an hour while
making a second key. The one they presented was the smaller one with the
light. I tried it on the door, and it worked. But once I got home, I
tried it in the ignition, and it *doesn't* work there. When I called the
dealer, he said "they're all like that."

Now I'm wondering what took them an hour to cut an ordinary key that
doesn't have any of the "smarts" to work in the ignition! We have two
drivers in the family, and will need a second ignition key. I'll have to
go back to the dealer and argue a bit.

#3. the rubber pads should be there. there nice to hold the cup in.(if
they wont give them to you, just "look" at another van and take them.

No, I wouldn't do that. But knowing they should be there encourages me
to bug the dealer for them, or failing that, order them for a 2003 and
know they'll fit.

I would appreciate any information about availability of MV jump

(a company in San Francisco) apparently took them out/lost them/???
from the '93 EV MV that I now own.

I have heard more than one VW mechanic say that the EV automatic
transmission is very similar in design to the Passat automatic (but
beefier).

It might be easier to find somebody with experience towing a Passat,
or adding a lube pump to a Passat. That information could be
transfered/adapted to an EV.

Good luck

I have 2 used seats from a '93 MV, but I won't ship them.

They are at my shop near St. Louis Missouri.

Dear Listmates,

I have had a series of Eurovans and have probably bought 4 or 5 sets of tires. The latest surprise was when I bought a set of Michelin Agilis 51s last week and within 400 km had a puncture due to a screw penetration. Tire Warehouse where they were bought, said no light truck tires come with road hazard warranty and if you tire starts with anything on other than a P it is considered to be a light truck tire. Good question to ask the dealer where you are buying your new 2002 and 2003 Eurovans. What is the tire warranty and what does it cover? I expected better from Michelin...
