93 EV Engine Fire
Richard Golen
Last night got to use my fire extinguisher....unfortunately it was on my 93
EV (which I've owned since new...). I popped out to buy my wife a little surprise, and was heading home on the highway doing about 70 when the A/C vents started to blow out thick black smoke. I put the EV in neutral, shut the engine down and tried to slow down into the breakdown lane...NO BRAKES! I used the emergency brake to stop. Grabbed the extinguisher popped the hood a crack and began spraying and then fully opened the hood and put the rest of the fire out. It looks like a good part of the hoses and wiring in the engine compartment are toast! Hopefully the EV can be put back together. Ric |

Anybody have old speakers laying around?
Bill Salopek
My '93 GL's speakers have rotted out...actually, it's probably only one
or two of them...I know the right front dash speaker is bad. Has anybody upgraded their speakers and have their old ones laying around? Wanna sell 'em? On another note...perhaps someone has bought replacements that work really well and aren't very expensive? -- Bill Salopek ICQ: 20536257 No worries... Business: Home: |

Re: Anybody have old speakers laying around?
Eckhard,
Front dash speaker removal is covered in issue #14 of EuroVan Update. There are some nice photos showing the grill and speaker. Basically there are plastic catches that hold the speaker grill in place. Careful lifting and gently bending of the tabs will get it off. Ron |

>> The sales person I spoke told meCheck AutobyTel and CarPoint on the web. They'll point you to the nearest dealer who will sell you an EVC for 5% over dealer invoice. It's no hassle and pretty simple. We'll be picking up ours on Wednesday from the local dealer who (coincidentally) happens to be 4 miles away. Russ Bishop Ventura, CA |

Re: EVC Questions / Wheels

Here is the info on our '99 Rialta (a big EVC :-)). I don't know if these are
the same steel wheels used on the regular EV and EVC. Steel wheels with the following stamped on them: 6Jx15H2 DIN DOT D15x6 VW 7D0 601 027 The GAWR front is 3527 lbs, rear is 3968 lbs. GVWR is 7275 lbs. HTH, Ken |

EVC Questions / Wheels / Load Capacity
Sheldon H. Winick
Larry,
>> The one wheel I found that had a >> posted load rating was 1431 - I >> assume that is pounds and I assume >> you multiply by 4 to see fit it will >> support a vehicle (if anyone has >> data that contradicts my assumptions >> - please tell me) Wrong! The EVC's weight is NOT distributed evenly over all 4 wheels. The front carries more load than the rear. The Winnebago door sticker indicates that the front 2 wheels of our '97 EVC must carry a GVWR of 3329 lbs which means each front wheel must carry 1665 lbs. It would also be desirable that the wheels and tires be selected so they're capable of carrying more than that to give you a little margin of error in case of overload conditions. The Michelin Agilis 51 tires and the Goodyear Cargo G26 tires both are rated to carry 1875 lbs max load. I would think that the wheel should be rated at least as high as the tires. Sheldon '97 EVC |

New EVC purchase
Sheldon H. Winick
Tad,
>> The sales person I spoke told me >> they would never discount the price >> because they really need $36k for >> the EVC. Well, my answer to that sales person would be that I need a reasonably discounted price so I could afford to ENJOY the EVC. I'd also tell him that I'd never buy the vehicle for the window sticker price because I also "need the money." You might also remind him that while he says he really needs $36k for the EVC, you don't have to purchase it from him and therefore "need" to take your business elsewhere. ;-) A dealer deserves to earn a fair profit margin on the vehicles he sells, and the consumer deserves to receive a fair price for the vehicle he purchases. Window sticker price, with the exception of certain vehicles such as the GM Saturn line, generally includes at least a 10% -15% profit margin PLUS dealer hold-backs and other incentives which can be quite sizeable. I believe someone posted the actual dealer cost figures for the EVC a while back which you should be able to find in the EV-Update Archives. That would be a good starting point for negotiation. Call a few dealers on the east coast. I'm sure you'll be able to find one who will be more than happy to sell you a EVC at a reasonable price. Sheldon '97 EVC |

EVC Questions / Wheels / Load Capacity
Larry Schellhase
My concerns were generated when no one would or could give me specific
data about wheel load capacity. Also, Tire Rack has wheels for the EV and the MV but not the EVC. The one wheel I found that had a posted load rating was 1431 - I assume that is pounds and I assume you multiply by 4 to see fit it will support a vehicle (if anyone has data that contradicts my assumptions - please tell me) The curb weight for the EV, MV and EVC is respectively 4220, 4348 and 5235. The GVWR is 5600, 5798 and 5997. The GVWR for the MV and the EVC are so darn close that I would think the alloys VW puts on the MV should work on the EVC. I wish I could get someone to provide me with data that confirms this assumption. --- Sea2river@... wrote: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MyPoints-Free Rewards When You're Online. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
