2002 Weekender Heater Core Issue- Maybe
8
Read thru most heater core posts, but have odd situation- 2002 Weekender- when I turn on the heat control, I get a definite antifreeze smell and the inside of the windshield fogs up I don't see any leakage trails inside the vehicle or under the hood. Also don't see any reduction in the antifreeze level. Any thoughts on this? Misting when heat is on? Heater core or control assembly? Any thoughts appreciated. Also any reccommendations on Eurovan repair folks in Denver-Boulder, CO area? Thanks, Jim Marski Pine, CO

Hazard switch ticking
3
This has been annoying me for a while on my 2002 Eurovan Weekender. There is a rhythmic ticking noise coming from my Hazard switch. It repeats about 3x faster than the turn signal or the emergency flasher. It sounds just like the turn signals, but faster. It seems to go away when the turn signal or the emergency flasher is activated. There is no current at the blub socket when this is happening. I pulled the flasher relay and found the alternating current on the black/white/green (sw/ws/gn) wire , corner wire on the connector. I put in a new flasher relay and it ticks also I looked at the Ebahn wiring diagrams, pg 1/11 (Emergency Flasher, turn switch relay) I have never learned to read these diagrams. On this diagram, whe sw/ws/gn wire comes down from the large gray block at the top of the page. What is H2/8? How would a intermittent current get in this wire? What does the sw/ws/gn wire conenct to under the dash? --Stephen

1997 Engine harness
6
Is the engine in the 1997 EVC the same as the 1997 Rialta ? I need an engine harness for my EVC and the only one I've found is from a '97 Rialta. and I was told this wouldn't work. Anyone confirm that? Anyone know where I can find one? I've tried all the usual places: Samba, ebay, Europian and domestic used VW parts. Thanks, Elden '97 EVC 108K mi

1995 Service Training Manual uploaded
5
That Eurovan Service Training Manual I mentioned awhile ago has been scanned and uploaded to /g/eurovanupdate/files/VW%20Eurovan%20Service%20Training%20Manual%20%201995.pdf (I'm not sure if the system sends out any notice or not.) I note that it's missing two pages which are listed in the Table of Contents as being about the Auxiliary Heater (Canada only). I double-checked - the copy I have does not have these pages.

VCDS - measuring blocks cheat sheet
20
Does anybody have a cheat sheet or good starting point to check the most important measuring blocks for a 1993 Eurovan? I've just done some maintenance, and I'd like to check some data against expected values. I have a Bentley, but to be honest, I can barely make sense of it most of the time.

Looking for Bug Screen Frame
The screen inside the frame on the sliding door of my 2001 Eurovan Weekender was detaching. I've stored the frame/screen in my basement with the plans to take care of it one day. A recent trip to Wenatchee State Park convinced me it's time to take care of this. I reattached the screen & took the frame/screen out to my van & quickly discovered that I have two left frames. I bought this van used in Austin, TX back in 2016, so not sure why I didn't pick up on this sooner. Anyway, I'm searching for either the full right screen/frame or at least the frame. Again this is for the area on the sliding door. Thanks in advance.

Eurovan repair in Colorado Springs
2
Someone in another thread asked about EV repair in CS. I was about to recommend this guy but when I checked the website it says they only work on vehicles between the years 2009-2024. He used to work on our 2000 EVC when we lived near the Springs and he was great. If you can't find anyone else, maybe he'll make an exception. https://baxtersautomotive.com/ We also had our van lifted and leveled by this place and they did a great job as well: https://aspenautoclinic.com/ Mike

Eurovan Gasoline Fumes when Hot & High - 2024
28
As summer approaches, it's time for the 2024 edition of this topic. This is a continuation of /g/eurovanupdate/topic/98063894#163821 As far as I know, this remains unsolved, though we had some intriguing findings in 2023: My 2000 EVC has a custom retrofit GM vapor canister, which did help the symptoms quite a bit: I've had no more fumes venting in hot weather at moderate altitudes (up to about 5000 feet). However, I still had substantial venting in very extreme conditions (105F+ temperatures, quick drive up to 7500 feet elevation). Conclusion: a worn out OEM vapor canister may be part of the problem, but is not the only problem. In summer 2023, both David and I had very similar symptoms in almost the same location: northbound Highway 395, filling up with 91 octane gasoline in one of the little towns (Bishop, Lone pine...). His symptoms are worse than mine, which could be since I have a new vapor canister. Also, I repeated the same drive in in the southbound direction, but filled up with ethanol-free gasoline, and had absolutely zero problems in similar conditions. Conclusion: perhaps the gasoline blend or age matters? Another clue I found during one of the extreme venting episodes: after releasing all pressure, if I started the engine again, fumes quickly came out again. Stop engine: fumes stop immediately. The gasoline temperature in the tank was 120F when that was happening. A few people have pointed to the little metal tab inside the filler neck - the gas cap presses on this when closed to open the breather valve. Bending this a little bit might help? I think a few people have said "maybe" but nothing conclusive yet. Anyone have more data? Mike 2000 EVC
