Re: Looking for front door panel "wedges" 95 EVC
Thanks for the reply Joshua!? I've seen the listings but I'm leery that they aren't actually the part and how difficult the return would be.? I was hoping that someone had a success story and a definitive source.

Re: 1993 EV - heater core failure (I think) in SoCal
All you are doing is connecting one hose to another.? The clamps are already there and for 2001 to 2003 I know that a union is already in place right there by the little screw vent.? You can disconnect one hose going to the firewall at that union and the other at the firewall and join them together.? There are few things under the hood easier to do than this.? Just make sure it's cooled down. BUT perhaps the earlier versions had different plumbing and would require actually providinga union for the hose.? In that case any parts store will have a union (measure ID of hose) or even a garden hose repair kit should work fine if metal.??

Re: Looking for front door panel "wedges" 95 EVC
Googling that part number shows several online dealers who purport to have the part new. There's a chance you'll order it and they'll cancel the order because stock doesn't really exist, but it's worth a shot.

Looking for front door panel "wedges" 95 EVC
Does anyone know of a source for the two plastic "wedges" that create the transition from the door frame to the door panel and close the gap with the seal? There is one at the top of the front and back of the panel and they can be removed
They are #13 on this diagram and the one that I can read the part number on looks like?701 867 691
This part also shows up but they don't really look like this image,?
Thanks,
Kent

Re: 1993 EV - heater core failure (I think) in SoCal
Hello,
I am having the exact issue on my 2003 Weekender.? Would you please kindly let me know where you purchase the bypass kit?? Also, have you had a chance to post the photos yet?? Thank you!

UPDATE: Completed the bypass yesterday in about 10 minutes as others described as well.? Definitely think keeping a bypass kit in the Eurovan is a good idea.? $20 backup plan.
Photos will be posted on my website.? Super easy and only required pliers.? I did a refill of coolant, started, drove, topped off... and today I'll check it all again to be sure there isn't another leak.
Question though: My dash temp/coolant light has been blinking even before this failure.? I had already replaced the coolant reservoir... thinking that it was a sensor/reservoir issue.? What conditions will make that dash light turn ON/blink?
- low coolant
- high temp?
- faulty/disconnected temp sensors?? (possibly bad wire or bad sensor)
Is there a VAGCOM-VCDS check I can run that would help diagnose why this is blinking?

Pressure rating for 2002 EVC Rack & Pinion
As posted earlier, I need a rack and pinion assembly for 2002 EuroVan Camper. There seems to be several different pressure ratings on different units. Does anyone know what the pressure rating would be for a 2002 EuroVan camper Winnebago? Or the exact part number? Thanks, Malcolm? ======================

I had basically the same problem on my 2003.? I recently repainted my bumpers with Raptor 2-part paint from Go-Westy and discovered that the passenger side fog light was broken off at the inside mounting.? The glass Lense had separated and was rattling against the bumper.? I ended up buying an aftermarket set of LED fog lights from eBay in Britian.? Had to put on new wire ends and dump the VW 2 pin connectors.? I'm not crazy about the fitment (They are plastic and just screw into the inside bumper) but the light from these is terrific!? I'm starting to think that checking anything lower than knee level might automatically become a project.

Re: 1993 EV - heater core failure (I think) in SoCal
I don't know if your setup is different than my 2002, but when mine went out I located the connectors going to the heater at the firewall and was able to disconnect the in and out hoses and join them right there using only a screwdriver if I remember right.? Took 10 minutes at a rest area and we finished our summer trip without heat.? No problem.?
Pulling the dash later to change it was a pain, though.??

Cole, can you link to that camera make?? I did a Sony unit and wired all the way to the backup light spot on the back hatch. But I¡¯m not happy with the camera. I like this brake light option.?
Here is how I do them at CaveVan.
This is mounted in the 3rd brake light. Makes it easy to see, and see over bikes on a bike rack, etc.

Cole, your back up camera looks like a great location. A simple and clean set up.
Is there a particular model/brand that you use? Is it blue tooth connectivity?
Thanks, Andrew

Europarts-SD.com had both of these last time I looked. Also good time to replace your saggy eng/trans mounts ;-)

Any good hydraulic shop can make you a new hose. Usually farm
implement shops can make them. Probably easier than finding a VW
replacement part.

Actually, I only need the "Return
Tube" for the rack and pinion power steering rack assembly.
If I cannot find just the Return Tube
I'm willing to purchase the whole rack and pinion assembly.
Seemingly the motor mounts wore out,
the engine sagged a few inches and wore a hole in the Return
Tube. So, be sure to get your engine motor mounts checked.

Thank you all for info and pics. Definitely seems a worthwhile modification!

Re: 1993 EV - heater core failure (I think) in SoCal
I imagine your year has a similar setup for the cabin heater to my 2003 EV WE. ?IF SO ITS QUICK AND EASY- As I recall, a 3/4 inch elbow ( male male ends) fits the hoses that connect just to center on the firewall (engine side) use existing clamps on the elbow. That bypasses just the cabin heater coil. Done. Also since it¡¯s the high point of the coolant route little coolant is lost. ?I got my elbow at a radiator shop, as it was around the corner from me, but Lowes etc probably carry a copper one (mine was plastic). I keep it in my emergency pack now. Do it when fluid is cool obviously and top off coolant, then recheck level for next month for ¡°burping out the hidden bubbles.¡± ?What you experienced are signs of a bad heater cabin coil, hopefully you didn¡¯t overheat the engine with the hobbling, and were adding fluid all the way, frequently enough. YMMV?

1993 EV - heater core failure (I think) in SoCal
I was driving on Tuesday (SoCal heat wave) when I had an odd smell coming through the vents.? Then some fogging on the window.
I suspected a coolant issue and saw my reservoir was empty.? I needed to get somewhere to leave it, and I hobbled to a lot.? As I my 1993 EV was hobbling, some hot liquid came out of the dash and splashed on my foot.? Therefore, I'm suspecting that it is the heater core.? I don't have time to fix properly so I'm going to try a bypass tomorrow.
Any tips from people that have bypassed the heater core on a 1993?
I posted some photos on my website - http://www.eurovanrescue.com/2022/09/09/heater-core-failure/
