My wife and I were driving the sedan version of the EVC (Audi 4) at about 60 mph when an American Coot (Fulica americana, not Homo sapiens) launched itself from a roadside ditch into my driver's side mirror. Such a noise! The mirror deflected but the innards of the mirror and the coot were everywhere. Moral: if you visit a waterfowl refuge try to keep the speed down, or you might have to eat a $200 coot dinner. -- Chuck (99 EVC Moby Auk) PS: coot doesn't taste as good as $200 worth of *anything* PPS: I wasn't in a refuge, but close to one. ======== Chuck Bragg, Santa Monica Bay Audubon Society cgbragg@... fax: 209-671-6396 ======== |

Re: Seat covers? Yes......

I have Wet Okole covers on my 95. Black with grey inserts. Bullet proof and soft.
Warm in winter, sometimes sticky in humid (southeast) weather. Looks cool and good for you water sports guys. Variety of colors, pricey but worth it.

Re: More Eurovan Secrets
Caroline,
I got rid of the three tone sound by unpluging the module that was making the sound. It is under the dash on the left side near the fuse panel. It is long or tall and has a tiny speaker on the end of it that you can see. Just open the door with the keys in the ignition and look, listen, and pull. Justin |

Re: Rear hatch glass explodes

their durability tremendously and also causes them to shatter into a million small fragments, which if you look closely, are rounded. However, there is always some flaws in the glass unnoticeable to the eye. All it takes it just the right pressure or vibration on this point for the glass to shatter. I guess my ceramic engineering degree was useful for something. Alex -----Original Message-----

I parked in the garage and the next morning my wife find the glass shattered. Still don't know what caused it.

Re: LP gas alarm-beep-beep-beep
I would suspect the auxiliary battery. Turn the fridge on DC mode to
put a load on the battery, then check the battery charge LEDs. If it shows low state of charge when you figure it should be fully charged, the battery probably needs replacement. Be sure to replace it with a deep cycle type battery. I got mine from Walmart. Marve '95 EVC --- In ev_update@..., lynnpressnall@a... wrote: My LP alarm keeps beeping and beeping.

The Queen size should be a little bigger than you need, but can be trimmed. The foam has those little bumps in it and claims to better distribute your weight. I used this for the first time last weekend and I have to say it was a big improvement. Put the foam on top of you mattress and hold it in place with a sheet. You should be able to store the cover in the top, but for the lower bed you will need to find a place to stow it when not in use. Now I used these on my '74 Westfalia, but you should get similar results with any year EV or EVC.
