mine makes the unfortunately common piston slap noise, I doubt I'll see
500k...what do you think ?

I picked up a 120 volt clock-radio for the van. It worked fine when we were plugged in this weeked, but when we were on battery power it appeared there was no power to the outlets. I didn't know if this was normal or if I had a problem. I did take a peek at the circut panel. The fuses and breakers looked ok but I had no light on the GFCI, nor did the test or reset buttons depress. Any suggestions?

Hi Michael,

I am interested contacting Steve. Does he carry a rear
wheel Cylinder for 93 GL.

Thanks.

Greetings all,

Steve delivered my idler wheels today, before noon.
He shipped them USPS
Priority Mail from his own inventory last Thursday

$44.31 per wheel (list $63) and just $5 to ship.

Great job by the USPS too.

My information indicated that Westfalia EVCs (non-Eurobagos) were
made in 93 (a long model year), then not until 1999, and are not made
today. I called the non-technical people at VW (Customer Service 1-
800-822-8987) and they said the pop top camper was made every year
including 1993, and still made today. Can anyone confirm which years
the MV Westfalia camper was made? Also, I believe VW used CFC free
refrigerant (R134a) earlier than US manufacturers. Were the 1993 EVs
CFC free?
Also, no air bag EVs were crash tested, does anyone have any safety
information on them? Thanks in advance.

The Winnebago part numbers are:
Bolt: 124755-01-000 (Might be 124755-01-01A)
Plug: 120270-01-01A

It looks like some of the VW/Winnebago part numbers that used to end with 000 have been changed to 01A. The drawing I got these off of had the part number changed in pencil.

Check out Lichtsinn Motors, Forest City, Iowa for availability/price.

On that note, does anyone have any idea of typical mileage
expectations for the 93 2.5?

I have friend in Germany who work for the Bundespost, and also who
drive ambulances. When I made my decision 8 years ago (!), it was
partially based on their statements that the EV 5 cylinder was the #1
service vehicle b/c the engine consistently arrives at 500,000 km with
few problems. If this is the case, then I am planning on driving my
EV for another 55 years.

The EV pan does not direct air toward cooling and as such is not like the
Renault in this regard. The radiators are entirely in front and above the
bumper, where their air supply is controlled by the motion of the vehicle
and by thermostatic fans. Even if the "efficiency" of the system suffered
(and it doesn't) at worst all that would happen is the fans would run more
often, and potentially wear out sooner. There would be no long term damage
to the engine in any case.

Why bother with a pan? It makes a lot of things easier to engineer because
those things don't then have to be tucked out of harm's way. Hoses, wiring
harnesses, fittings, bolt-on components, etc can all be placed wherever they
are placed without any regard to exposure to the elements, and that's a much
cheaper/easier thing to engineer. Also, the pan contributes to noise
control so it has its own inherent little benefit. On the downside, the pan
clearly makes maintenance more difficult as it must often be removed for
many different procedures.

The pan has everything to do with colling. Ask a trained technician for
VW. I use to work on Renault vehicles and was factory trained. We were
told the pan on Renault vehicles directs the air through the radiator and
across the engine for more efficiant cooling. Removing it could cause
long term harm. If it was not necessary, why would the factory add the
expense?

Labor day weekend Ann and I decided to get away from the Denver area to
the mountains in the southern part of the state. We figured that it
would not only be some great R&R, but would also function as a shake
down cruise for our upcoming three to four week excursion. We ended up
at Monument Lake, about 38 miles NW of Trinidad. This is a lake and
park owned and operated by the city of Trinidad. One of the prettiest
camping areas we have been in, very inexpensive and extremely helpful
and courteous staff who even came around every evening to pick up our
trash (Colorado has had some ..major..bear problems this year).

Since we planned on taking our Nizzo tent, table and chairs and a
variety of other bulky items in anticipation of our long trip, I asked
Marty Williams of Let's Go Aero for the use of one of his new Triple
Play hitch carriers (he had previously offered me the use of any of his
products for having pulled one of his Herman trailers up to the
Winnebago factory for their review).

To say we were delighted with it would be a gross understatement. It is
lightweight (40 lbs), has a large capacity (a 2 foot by 4 foot platform
with a 30" high enclosure and kept its contents clean and dry in spite
of our driving many miles on dusty dirt roads and coming through a
veritable deluge (enough to shut I-25 at two locations) as we returned
through Colorado Springs. We loaded our Nizzo side tent, the bundle of
poles and stakes, the rear hatch tent, two folding chairs and a table
into it and only used up about half of the available space. It also
slides back on a spine which allows the rear hatch to be opened without
removing the carrier. While not of particular interest to Ann and I, it
can also be used to carry up to 5 bicycles (without the enclosure)and
there can be provision for mounting a hitch ball behind the carrier if
something else needs to be pulled.

For us, this is the perfect addition to our EVC. Upon returning it on
Monday morning, I told Marty that I wanted one. He told me that they
were doing a slight upgrade on the carrier and would have it available
in several colors (including white, which I ordered)in about two weeks.
A really neat piece of equipment and he also offered a 10% discount for
members of this group.

I did post a couple of pictures of the carrier and of Monument Lake on
the Yahoo website.

Dear Mark,

Sorry to hear your experience. Good luck with the fix. We had the
same problem going up a steep hill with the AC on. THe plastic T
broke and we lost all coolant and our Memorial day weekend, all shops
were closed. Fortunately, once the T fixed, everything seems fine.
Advice to all Eurovan owners, think about replacing those plastic T.
There are 2 of them, its a $4 part at the dealer. They don't seem to
age well.

I was driving my '93 MV from southern California to the S.F.

Bay

area, where I intended to leave it with in-laws while I headed off

to New

Zealand for a year. It was a hot (*very* hot) day, but the van had
recently had a major tune, was performing wonderfully as usual, and

I

plowed through the Central Valley with the AC on. After a lengthy

lunch

break (when the engine should have cooled down a bit), I hit the

road

again. But within 10 minutes the AC faded, I lost considerable

power, and

I barely made it off the highway before a t-valve in the cooling

system

blew and -- as I would later learn -- the head was irreparably

damaged.

My boys loved the ride in the tow truck and the unexpected

Sunday (or

course) evening in a hotel pool, but I hated the news the next day

that it

would be several days and several hundred dollars, at a minimum.

After

several trans-Pacific phone calls and nearly 8 weeks, I hear that

it'll be

$2200-$2500 for a new head, piston rings, etc. For an engine that

already

has 150,000 miles on it.
I'm trying to decide whether to a) repair it, b) buy and have
installed a newer engine ("81,000 miles, compression: 175") from an

unknown

dismantler I found on the web, for about the same total price, or

c) sell

it for parts and buy a newer (but still used) one when I return to

the

States in a year. Any suggestions?

Try Steve at Europarts. Can't recall the cost, but it was much lower
than VW.

HI ALL:

I think i have fix the problem. On Satuday, I went to
a mechanic, they replace the following.

1.) thermostat
2.) 3 pcs swtiches for Fans
3.) Flush the radiator.

The labor is $ 60.00 and a total of $ 121.00.


Now they also adjusted the timing. But when I went
home It still overheating. So I waited for the engine
to Cool Down.

After 2 hours. I check every sinle wire on the engine.

Few weeks ago, I have a Complete Tune-up. Almost every
single wire is OK. Then I check the AIR FILTER. GOT
IT!! The Air filter Housing is not properly snap.
After I secure the clips. I did not have any problem.

SO THE AIR FILTER DID IT!!

THANKS YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!

Hello Kate and List Folks,

Does the gas cap just spin??

If that's what's happening you might need to unlock the gas cap with
your master key.

If you have two keys with your 2000 EV the one without a "plastic head"
will be for the gas cap.

Good luck.

Anyone know a good source and price for a dust/pollen filter for a '97 EVC?

I have never removed it myself, but I watched the guys at
my Norcold service center take it out and it appears they
just gently walk it out.

The first time I took mine in for service it turned out to
be the thermocouple, however it was not defective,
Winnebago had just failed to install it correctly and it
had come loose.

Any tips on removing the fridge? I'm worried about

I have a 93 with 121k and since I'm expecting something like that to happen
to me in the future I priced the whole job by VW. For $6000, you could have
new, factory remanufactured, with warranty on parts and labor, short block,
head and transmission. The transmission labor comes free when done at the
same time because it's just in and out and they don't care if you put back
the old one or a new one. Personally I would consider doing the whole job so
you can expect new life for the years to come, or do the head and sell the
car before something else breaks.
On that note, does anyone have any idea of typical mileage
expectations for the 93 2.5?

Hey buddy I had a fender bender tonight as well!! I couldn't stop in time
either and I hit the rear of a Bronco's hitch, luckily for me my front
license plate that says "VW" pretty much absorbed the impact. The plate as
well as the metal holder were off my EVC and wrapped around his hitch. I
have a slight tear in my front bumper but Ill cover that with another plate.
Your right these things don't stop well at all. I didn't bother to check
anything because I really didn't damage that much.
