Re: Timing Belt
Michael G. McCarthy
The tensioner pulley is called a roller, number 044-145-278-A (list $70)
The serpentine for an EV with A/C is number 074-260-849-J (list $54.95). water pump: 023 121 004 (alternative 074 121 004) Timing belt: 046 109 119E (alternative 074 109 119F) You have to get the timing belt correct to the tooth. The computer cannot compensate for the physical relationship between the crank and the cam. ---------- From: "Erich Fickel" <efickel@...> To: <ev_update@...> Subject: RE: [ev_update] Timing Belt Date: Fri, Jun 2, 2000, 10:28 AM I have a '93 EV with about 85K miles on it, and I am now sufficiently worried by all the posts concerning timing belts to change mine.

Re: Timing Belt Replacement

I had just bought a 93 EV GL about a month and a halfThe belt or tensioner pulley only make the sound when the engine is running. The only possibility I can think of is the electric water pump which circulates the cooling fluid after you shut off the engine. It is an electric pump located on the bottom radiator house. If you take the belly pan off you can see it. Check if that is where the noise is coming from. Eckhard |

Check the tires, particularly the tread on the rear tires nearest the centerline of the car. It should be smooth, but you may have cupping due to improper alignment. You can proably suspect why I know this. Bob Williams 93 Weekender with 5-speed and 142,000 miles VIN: WV2MC0700PH104774 Severna Park, MD |

WA State park review.
Chris Noeske
Two weekends ago we went to Lake Easton State park just off of I90.? The
park was nice.? We got the last site that they had.? There are nice trails, at the park.? Not very long though ( about 2 mi).? Lake Easton is 1 mi from the park and has a boat launch.? The park was clean, and on a 1 -10 scale I would rate it a 7.5. ? This last 3 day weekend we went to Fort Ebie State park on Whidbey Island, via the Mukileto Ferry.? The park was 100% full.? The sites are very nice.? There is only one bathroom, which means hot water can be scarce.? From most every site there is a trail head which leads to numerous trails.? The trails are good for hiking and there were also mountain bikes on them.? Some of the trails go along 150 ft cliffs, which can be dangerous for speeding mountain bikers.? The views were spectacular!? There are trails down to the beach, but these were too steep for safely carrying a baby in a pack.? On a 1 -10 scale I would rate it a 10. ? This weekend we are going to a church retreat campground, and Warm beach.? ? Wednesday I will be leaving for Chester England for 3 weeks, at which time I will? temporarily unsubscribe from this list.? ? When I get back we are headed off to Lake Chelan State park, Which I rate at 8.5. The weekend after that Baker Lake State park, has anyone been there?? What's it like? ?

Has anyone had front end alignment problems on the 99 evc ?Myfront tires are exihibting some unusual wear, may even be out of balance .Although it would seem reasonable to assume that the alignments are good when we get our vehicles new, that might not be a safe assumption. When I replaced my tires in November, I had a 4-wheel alignment done then and the shop found the front was considerably out of specs on both sides, by similar amounts. I asked whether it was possible that VW had not readjusted the alignment after Winnebago added all the (unbalanced) weight of the camper conversion. The shop said it was possible, given the similar amounts by which each side was out of alignment. My suspicion is that this condition might have been common and contributed to the faster wear on the Goodyear Cargo Vector tires that many have experienced and complained about. Mine started going bad at 20k miles and were square by 25k, despite rotations every 5k. Getting an alignment or balance now won't even out or slow down your tire wear, but it can't hurt.

Re: Timing Belt Replacement
Joe Bernal
On Friday, May 26, 2000 5:50 PM, KitGreetings from Seattle!!! I had just bought a 93 EV GL about a month and a half ago, and i was wondering if the whistling sound you guys are talking about is the same thing my EV has. It only makes the sound--kinda like a muffled, whining puppy--when I shut the engine off. My wife thinks it's unique and kinda cute, but reading your mail and the "pretty penny" you had to pay, I want to make sure I'm not heading in that direction esp. since the mileage when I got my EV was at 98500. I have no idea whether it's t-belt is good, replaced, or shot. I'm taking it to the shop in a week just for a pre-trip inspection. Please let me know if I need to have them 'go deeper'. Thanks, Joe Bernal 93 EV GL __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos -- now, 100 FREE prints! |

Hall Sender
chester1
My fellow EV nuts, Add the Hall Sender to the shut down list or items to
carry on that long wilderness trip. My 93 EV has 147k but has never shut me down until now. Running down the highway at 85 (Texas) the "damn van" just quit. Loving understanding wife picked me up in her Acura (always runs) and drove to tow truck. Tow truck to EV and home. Fuel preasure ok (leak not fixed, this is how I tell if I have gas - gauge does not work so depend on smell of gas). No spark, ok new roter and cap. No spark - oh know its the "brain". I had have them go on my 82 Westie and on our Sidekick. Coil? Nope, pulled it out and put in son's Corrado - started up. Corrado Bentley had testing procedure for Hall Sender (fancy points) and it failed the test. Now the gamble. Ever heard "no refund / exchange on electrical parts"? So do I tow the "damn van" to dealer or take the chance?? Took the chance. Hall Sender was 182.00 w/tax. Few minutes later I was back on the road. Get dirty, have fun, Grins, Norby aka chester1@... |

Re: Dying Eurovan Theory
My prime suspect would be the water pump. Had a friend's 93 go out around
80,000. Made an increasingly horrible grinding noise. We confirmed it by pulling the belly pan off the vehicle, and sticking an automotive stethoscope on the bottom of the engine behind where the water pump mounts (you have to be in the middle of the car in the front, sticking the probe on the "back" of the right side of the engine. If it's really dying, you might also find some dripping coolant in that area. If the water pump seized-it would be dramatic. Would probably shred the timing belt and cause lots of awful noise. I've heard that the 93 engine is not a interference type (where the valves will crash into the pistons if the timing gets messed up), BUT I've also heard that is only true when the engine is off. At high speed with full pressure on the hydraulic lifters, I've heard that it can interfere and nuke your cylinder head. Anyone know the story on that? I definitely recommend doing some probing before taking it apart. But at 90000 miles, if you haven't replaced timing belt and water pump, you are definitely due for that anyway. I replaced both belts and pump at 90,000 as preventative maintenance, even though problems had not started. Good luck! -gb |
