V6 Disappointing tire mileage--14,000
Friends, what in the world could cause me to have such lousy mileage on the
tires of my 1997 EVC?
My van now has 41,000 miles, and I have gotten only 14,000 miles out of each
set of tires. The

<<Macon,
I vaguely recall a post about this a few months ago. A spacer had been
left off in the installation or something like that which allowed the
shocks to move up an down. Sorry I can't be

Re: Forensic Investigator visits my EuroVan
Which leads me to ask a question I've been meaning to ask for several weeks.. Ric, what size (and type) extinguisher were you using. Those of you that carry extinguishers, what do you all use? I've

Re: Forensic Investigator visits my EuroVan
Todd,
I paid $450 or so, the gas tank is removed which is a cumbersome procedure (some of the front suspension needs to come out...)
You really should fix/get the line fixed; I saw Ric Golen's van

Roof Vent for '93 GL
Hi all,
Anybody put a roof vent in their EV (in my case EV GL).
I'd like to get some ventilation toward the back, have a place for heat
to escape when the EV is parked in the sun, and hopefully stop

Re: EV fuel lines
Yes, the two systems (75 to 93) are very much different but parts share
many functions. While the EV has a fuel rail that is much more reliable
then the lines and hoses on the bus they both have

Light bulbs for switches?
Does anyone know the p/n and source for the bulbs that provide the
back-lighting in the rocker switches(headlight etc...)?. VW says that
the switch assy. is not repairable.

Re: Forensic Investigator visits my EuroVan
You're taking a big, big chance Todd. I don't think it's worth it. The
fuel line problem can be intermittent and come back at a moment's
notice...stronger than ever. I'd recommend getting it fixed

Extended Warranty??
I bought a 93 EV two years ago in NC. I bought it from a dealer who had

there was an extended warranty purchased for this

Rick,
Not sure if it affects one side or another, but when I had my "95 aligned, I
stuck around to watch the process. First thing the mechanic did was to use
a tape measure to adjust the front height

Re: List to Port!
Adjusting the torsion bars would probably correct the list to port.
This is the first step in a four wheel alignment on the Eurovan and
should be followed by the rest of the alignment.
