When was tranny fluid last changed?? If it were me, I would change the ATF and send a sample of the old ATF to Blackstone for analysis.

Just started getting a high pitched
whining noise. ?At any speed. ?Shifting is fine, and also
it will still make the noise when in neutral (when I
accelerate in neutral). ?No codes are showing for tranny
issues. ?I'm going to have it looked at, but what is
your take on this? ?Many thanks

Sam this is also my problem...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. How do I go about getting one of your kits? Thanks, Linda

Hi all,

First of all thanks to all of you for this group. It continues to be a great source of information for me learning my way around Eurovans. ?

I know transmissions are a frequent topic and I have read most of the archives and files section documents. ?

I'm having some specific symptoms and am wondering if anyone else has had the same. Some initial notes:

- It's a 2000 eurovan with ~140k miles. I assume transmission is original but not sure (few records from prior owner).

- I'm familiar with the tr ansmission fluid change procedure and have done it several times (I had a 1999 Eurovan for several years before I recently sold it and then shortly thereafter bought another one with a much nicer body and interior).

- I have changed fluid and filter in this one twice after I bought it several months ago (twice to get more of the old fluid out).

- I do overfill a bit, level the van, shift through all gears, and then drain to even at ~40C transmission temp while running.?

- no extra AT cooler.

Symptoms (two main ones and one 'sorta' one):

- One symptom is occasional hard 1-2 shifts under no load (like coasting down a hill). This only happens maybe 20% of the time when going downhill. It may have happened once or twice in going from 2-3 but so rare that I'm not even sure it happened (I try to pay attention). New fluid and transmission 'reset' procedure doesn't seem to affect it (but again it doesn't happen all of the time).

- Other symptom is delay in getting into drive from park. ?It's as if there's not enough pressure to make the shift happen. ?I can get it to shift by giving it a bit of gas but giving it a lot more gas makes the shift into drive harder.

- No symptoms when shifting under load (cli mbing a hill or accelerating).?

- Third symptom is it seems to not want to upshift when it should sometimes. ?i.e. low load and ready to go to 3rd or OD but stays in lower gear longer than needed. ?Again like it can't get enough pressure to force the shift. ?It does shift eventually.?

Wanting to avoid letting a problem grow over time (and not wanting to purchase transmissions and parts in blind fear), I'm wondering if my description fits any problems any of you have had and what if anything resolve d it (i.e. new valve body, new controller, new wire harness, new transmission, solenoid adjustment by a qualified shop, etc.).?

Thanks again to all who participate on this list - I hope sometime to repay some of the great VW karma here!

Regards,

Todd?

Dear Caroline

Unfortunately due to lousy design on Westfalia's part the faucet knob commonly gets broken and you have to buy the whole sprayer assembly to get another one.?? They are available from Germany.? I bought a new one last fall and I looked the other day and knob was broken already.?? We need to get an intact knob and get someone over in North America with a 3D printer to scan it and make a bunch of copies.?? I believe the shop in Germany website is VWBUSSHOP.DE?? and you can click on the Union Jack to get it show the site in English.

Long time getting around to follow-up on this.? I ordered the faucet from Ken, and it arrived after a couple of weeks.? Perfect fit.? Glad that I went this route.

Thanks,
