Re: 2000 EVC Wheel Alignment - What group?
Following up on my previous message, I found this unintelligible label under the driver's side carpet. Apparently the group number is on this label, somewhere, however the only thing I'm able to make out is the VIN. Again, reaching out to the distribution here, if anyone has a 2000 EVC with the under dash sticker or an intelligible label, I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know what your group number is.?
?
Thanks,

Re: A/C receptacle
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Al, welcome to the group.The stock Eurovan Camper has a 120VAC input in front of the left rear wheel, which has 3 prongs and looks like this: Note: I think the Canadian version may be slightly different - is your van originally from USA or Canada? I'm not sure what you mean by "DC receptacle" - there are several 12VDC cigarette lighter outlets inside the van. The Eurovan Camper manual can be found online - here is the page which discusses the electrical systems:

replacement weekender pop top seal
The PT seal on my 02 weekender has become wavy?and puckered from above the RS door and around to the LS door area. I've tried the? squeeze?with pliers repair but not a good fix. Is there a good replacement for this seal that has the OE outside alligator skin and rubber tube inner seal?? Some online vendors advertise replacements but I've read mixed reviews. Does anyone in this group?have experience with replacing their seal? Thanks for any help. Spencer 02mvwk |

Re: Eurovan Gasoline Fumes when Hot & High - 2025
One more diagram, sorry if all this clogs up the conversation. ?
I cleaned up the Tank Diagram and labeled it directly so I can sort it out better.? This should be the best one for referencing to the tank photo Michael posted.??
Even better would be to relabel the photo directly.

Re: Eurovan Gasoline Fumes when Hot & High - 2025
This diagram shows the system around the Cannister including the
Pressure retention valve on the 2002.? It's #6
On mine with the Gas filling (+ ongoing fumes) issue all of this is fine.?? Maybe it helps somebody else locate or eliminate.?

2000 EVC Wheel Alignment - What group?
Since I don't have the sticker under the steering wheel/dash, I was hoping someone here has the group number for doing the wheel alignment on a 2000 EVC? Earlier posts indicate group 8 for a 2002 EVC. When I had an alignment done (at Firestone) a few years ago, they used Group 1/half load. Can anyone confirm that this is correct??
Thanks,
Pete
2000 EVC, 213k miles? |
