Re; Piston slap
Here in Canada we had the same problem, but only with the 1992 model year. My 92 does it, somehow it slipped past the warranty. Here in Canada, VW replaced these engines for any customer that

Re: EV piston problems
Look for the engine code; AAF = 8.5 CR, ACU = 10.0 CR You'll find the sticker in the paperwork or on the driverside kickpanel about level with the dash. You'll have to get on your back to see

Re: Another propane tank mystery
The (well, *one* of the) question is, where did the butane come from? BTW, I still maintain my tank was filled with nitrogen, since it didn't burn at 70 degrees ambient. ;-) Does Winnebago fill the

Re: Heater Core Leak
Lynn: I had the same problem about 30k miles ago (now at 118k.) VW Dealer first said they must replace the dual-nylon tubing. This part alone was $300-$400 (really crazy) and 4 days wait. I

EV piston problems
Many of us have had or have the loose piston slap problem. This appears to have been a problem on early (at least for the US) 5 cylinders. Is anyone aware if this problem was fixed when they went to

Re: Heater Core Leak
Lynn, I hate to add to the bad news, but there is quite a bit to replacing the metal "coolant lines" that run back to the rear heater as Jack said earlier. The 2 big items are: 1. Remove fuel

Re: Another propane tank mystery
Yes, I know. However, even butane will burn at 70 degrees farenheit, wouldn't you think? I'm just hoping that the topping up and/or a few miles of driving shook something loose and I'll have no more

Re: Another propane tank mystery
Alex, Because that will only evacuate it to one atmosphere. What is necessary is to completely purge the tank (most propane dealers can do this). Winnebago recommends doing it 3 times and even lists

EV Auto Tranny Service
I had mine changed, fluid and filter at around 30K, and will again at the 60K service. I believe the manual (at least the one the dealers use) recommends it first time at 60K. Way back I had some
