Re: View & Share Van MPG

I've used the app for a few years to track all my vehicles (10).

It's interesting to see what happens long term. Especially with your price per mile.?

Fwiw, my Sprinter kicks the Eurovans butt at 0.17 per mile vs 0.24 for the Eurovan.

Came across a interesting site. Silly name, but could be very helpful to current or prospective owners of any vehicles, not just Eurovans. You can review fuel stat's for all kinds of vehicles based on entry's made by people who own the vehicle. There are links for fuel tips & forum's, etc. You can even import information using *.csv if you've been tracking (for example by Excel). You can add more than one vehicle too.

Hey all, trying to see if there is any interest in a 2000 EV GLS that won't shift into reverse. Van is in good shape otherwise.?
I'm willing to take any reasonable offer to move this thing out of my ex-wife's driveway.
Let me know, It's available to be seen anytime.

Peace,

If it's mechanical, do a leak down test with compressed air or simpler, just a compression test.
Test will tell you the conditions of the valves, pistons etc...
Is your timing belt is OK?




Re: My Eurovan Cylinders 3, 4 and 5 has no power

 

Like I said, i tested spark plug, ok. I tested sparkplug wires, ok. I compression tested every cylinder, every cylinder ok. I have not inspected the timing belt. What are the possibilities there.

Where are you located?

When were you thinking you would fly out?

I don't see any reason this van shouldn't make the trip. It was a daily driver up until he picked up his Sprinter today. It looks very clean under the hood and I know he took very good care of it. He bought several parts from me. I can go inspect it to make sure it drives well and doesn't have obvious issues.?

Help!! My 1993? EV with 2.5 L Engine has no power on 3 cylinders. If I pull out the spark plugs individually? and test it outside it will spark. So I have ruled out the spark plugs and spark plug wires as the culprit. Anybody has experienced this kind of trouble? Thanks in advance for your help.

This solves a problem if your Norcold (Model 3163)? fridge lights ( green light goes on) but then- after you release the button- the green light goes out and you can't get the green light to stay on- no matter what you do.

Contact me off-group and we'll talk about this!

Update on my 2003 EuroVan MV alignment: ? I decided to go with the local shop in my town so I could stay in close communication with the tech and keep the costs in check. ?They inspected the tie rods and agree with the VW dealer assessment that the inner tie rods need replacement. ?They also agree though with me that better to do the inner and outer on both sides given the 150K mileage. ?Upon inspection they saw some fluid was leaking fluid at the input shaft ?of the rack which would explain the low level I have seen but was somehow ignoring. I don't think a bad leak but decided to have them replace the rack at the same time as the tie rods. ?They completed that last week and adjusted the toe in/out back to spec. ?They also saw that the camber is off as I had know from the two previous VW dealer diagnostics. ?I asked them to first check and set the ride height before starting to make adjustments in the camber as suggested e arlier in this thread. ?The problem the shop ran into ( and I am having as well) is identifying the group number to use for specs. ?I read some of the posts here and saw one from Bob W that this number is the last of the third line of digits in the sticker on the plastic box cover. ?My sticker has "8L1" at the end of the third string.?? I have a Bentley Manual CD for this vehicle but unfortunately it doesn't open on my Macs and my work computer that has Windows 7. Thinking to go to Staples and see if they can read it and print out a copy. ?In the meantime, I would greatly appreciate if anyone can help me confirm that this "8L1" ?makes sense as the group number for a 2003 MV non-weekender and might have access to the ride height and ?alignment settings for this group number so I can double check what the alignment shop is using. ?

I posted a picture of my sticker on the fuse box cover in the PHOTOS section for reference?
Thanks,

Re: Rooftop Strut Replacement

 

Not an easy task. Tried that ratchet maneuver but kept slipping free. In the end, had a real strong son grasp it and compress it manually so I could get the lower attachment secured.
