Check the 50 amp fuses, in the black plastic fuse block next to the fan
relays, they are probably cracked.

My cooling fans have stopped working on my MV I had the relays,and
resistors replaced in April. any suggestions?

The EV6 engine has no timing belt, guys. It has a chain instead...whew, let
no more of this kind of gossip be promulgated on line, please.

I can safely say based on experience that no damage occurs to the 5
cylinder Eurovan when the timing belt breaks. The VR-6 is probably an
interference engine meaning the pistons would hit the valves if the
timing belt broke. I believe the replacement interval is 60k. It does
leave you stranded when it breaks. Has anyone done this job themselves?
I replaced the front brake pads on my 93 MV this past weekend. A one
hour job which turned into a 5 hour night mare due to a stuck caliper
sliding pin.

Eurobagans,

We did get 40000 miles from the standard Goodyears and they were run with
the Winnebago 50 lb pressure, but...the center began to wear too soon. That
means over-inflation. After seeing that I began to reduce said pressure but
lost a significant amount of mileage due to the worn center of the three
tires.

I think I'd agree that 50 is too much tire pressure. Some others have
suggest 45-48 with good wear on the Agilis tire. When mine get on (after
the body is fixed) they will start with 45 lbs. unless the list can suggest
a better pressure.

Any reports on the Backpacker trailer left to read?

We've never had such a problem so I can't tell you.

Can't tell you the place we ordered it from now as it was about 6 years
ago. I found the address in an ad that was in a shortwave radio
magazine that I picked up at the newstand. That's about the only way I
know to buy one for a car. And now I can't remember the name of the
magazine but if you go to a good newstand you'll find one. We love the
radio as it makes it possible to travel without losing a signal,
especially at night and other times in the a.m. when BBC comes in
strong.

It seems to me that the hoses only leak when the engine is cold. Is there
extra pressure in the hoses at that point? Something related to the cold
start valve?

I have a similar symptom with my lower radiator hose. It leaks when cold,
even when the engine has been off for several weeks, but it does not leak
when the engine is warm. My theory is that when the rubber is warm it is
pliable enough to conform to the shape of the radiator fitting, but when it
is cold it is stiff and allows a gap between mating surfaces.

I have heard conflicting information about the timing belt in the 5
cylinder eurovan engine. If this belt breaks does internal engine
damage happen?

I had a VW mechanic tell me there would be no damage.

Hmmmm...good to know.

Thanks.

Claude,

I have been running the pressures in my 95 EVC at 48 psig front and
rear. Reason is that at 50 psig tires showed some over inflation wear
(centre of tread wearing more than the rest of the tread), but at 48,
on all four tires, wear is quite even and tires are running cool -
this is after many long trips at the lower pressure. There are a lot
of variables so your experience could be different.

I have an '97 EVC and just bought new tires, Michelin Agilis 51.
Tires size 205/65/R15C.
I kwew that the Eurovan door sticker say 51 psi front and 45 psi rear.
The Winnebago door sticker say 50 psi front and 50 psi rear.
Now the tire dealer has a "1999 Tires Guide" that rate the
1999 Eurovan Camper at only 42 psi front and 36 psi rear.
The guide do not have as reference for 1997 model year.
I always put 50 PSI in my tires but also always found the ride a bit
hard.

I will like comments on tires pressure if anyone is driving on less
than
Winnebago door sticker.

Thank you

What is the specified interval? There is no mention of it in the owner's
manual except to "check the condition of the belt" at something like 60,000
miles. I asked the FLVWD about replacing the timing belt at 70,000 miles and
they said to not worry about it. They said it will go for more than 100,000
miles, and if it does break, nothing will be damaged. I've had timing belts
in other VWs break and nothing happen, but they were not EVs which are a
different bird altogether. . .

Todd

Someone once told me that whether your timing belt breaking damages the
engine will depend on what the car is doing at the instant it breaks. So
it's certainly best to replace it before it breaks, of course.

Even though everyone says NO, I can assure you it CAN cause damage. Such as
5 exhaust valves and one intake valve in my case. $2200, thank you very
much. Definitely worth replacing it at the specified interval, as I now
have learned.

David,
The rear facing seats and fold out table get constant use in our '93 MV. Of
course mostly by my kids but I do enjoy sitting on the rear bench on the
table side. The rear facing seats are a problem for some adults.

The best deal is the newest MV out in Germany. The center seats are modular
and can be installed either facing forward or back. maybe we'll see it on
the 2000 MV.
Ron

Bill,
Just a couple comments to consider...
1- The MV and MV Weekender have different slider windows. The difference is
the Weekender has screens.

2- I cannot keep the sliders open on my MV when moving without getting an
annoying air noise that no one can take very long. Of course they are
great when stationary.

I found that installing wind/rain deflectors cuts down the wind an amazing
amount.

Also, I can't have one of the rear sliding windows open while driving if the
front windows are closed. It creates a vacuum intense enough to make my ears
hurt.
