2002 evc speedo stopped and weird resistance from wheels
|
Help, any advice on what could've happen. A speed sensor i believe on top of transmission melted and broke.
Getting a tow, but wanna know if transmission is broke? What symptoms should I expect?? ?Was driving on freeway when I started to get hesitation,? fuel gage was dipping quick causing low fuel alarm going off and on. Can I drive it still? |

开云体育Sounds like a problem with CV joints- could be tranny- but sounds
like front CV joint problems I've had in several VW's and AUDI's
over the years. Start by looking at CV joint boots to see if they
are torn and/or out of grease. Don't see the connection with the
speedo sensor and fuel gauge though. Maybe a problem with
differential? Have you checked transmission fluid levels? Any sign
of a leak?

开云体育? Hi, ? Any codes on the Scanguage ? Could be what we call ‘limp’ mode. This happens when a transmission gets too hot or if some solenoids around the valve body are defect. The van, then, starts shaking and hesitate. You’re finally into 3rd gear only. The trick is to stop the van for almost 2-5 minutes, then restart it to see if everything’s fine again !!! It once happened to me... Do you have? a transmission cooler installed ? ? Yves ‘97贰痴颁 Canada ? Provenance?: pour Windows 10 ? |

Right about now, I'm very upset with VW and am now thinking it was a mistake to even let them look at it.? Does anyone know of a good Eurovan Repair shop in the San Jose, CA area? |

The "easy" fix if there is a problems with the axles. But one of my guesses is that the differential is on the way out. The gears can seeze if there is low fluid level in final drive. Eurovan automatic transmissions has two different fluids in them (automatic transmission fluid and also final drive gear oil), some mechanics do not even know this.?

I hope its not the case with your transmission because its requires transmission removal and complete tear down of the transmission.? But I would check the final drive fluid level and the condition of it.? To check the gear oil level in the final drive you will need to remove the pendulum (bottom/rear) transmission mount. On the back of the transmission there is a plug for 17 mm allen wrench. Its not far from the vehicle speed sensor (the one that is melted on your transmission).? You can jack up the front of the van from tbe ground to be able both front wheels to rotate. Put on "Neutral" and rotate each wheel by hand to see if there is any resistance or noise and from where the noise is coming from. When rotating one wheel - look at other wheel in which dirrection its turns. If the other wheel rotates in opposite dirrection -? the differential not seized.? Believe me, I've seen quite a few vans/campers/Rialtas with seized differential. But I hope its not the case with your '02 EV Camper. Can be way simpler fix, hard to diagnose if its not here.?

As a general statement that might be true, however Euroquattro has maintained my 1999 EVC since 2006 and I made the recommendation based on my own personal experience. It was not a random advertisement.

Slavic,
You were spot on.? funny, VW dealer stated, of $450 and we'll change the sensor and that will fix everything.... they even asked if the Transmission was rebuilt... I told them yes it was 6000 miles ago in 2019.? I told them to not touch anything and that I would tow to another shop (They didn't charge me ... thankfully).? I towed the Van to Euro Quattro... those guys did a free diagnoses for me and asked the same question about if the trans was rebulit.? They also placed on the lift, did a quick diag and told me the differential is bad. :(.? ?I had such a poor experience with the shop that sublet the rebuild of my transmission that I know that owner will be very defensive when I ask them to work with me on fixing this transmission.? I should've went the German Transaxle route instead of doing the rebuild.? Not sure how to approach some sort of "warranty claim" with this shop.? Thanks all for the great feedback and knowledge transfer! |
