Yahoo Groups "ev-update" is where you want to go.  You are just looking a
different set of problems, most are more expensive.  BTDT, went back to a
Vanagon Westy. Feel free to contact me for details:  stuartmacm@gmail.com.

2003 was the last year of the Eurovan.  It was just too expensive to compete
in the minivan market.

Is there a Eurovan forum like there is a Vanagon forum? Did VW stop making
Eurovan campers after 2003?

The point of these questions is that I'm highly frustrated with my van right
now and thinking about getting a newer van. Yes, I said it. After coming
home last night to work on cleaning grounds to fix the idle problem, before
I could replace the blown paper speakers, fix the hazard light switch, and
fix the potable water pump, I found a pool of coolant under the van, for
something like the 20th time. Don't get me started on ill-fitting exhaust
pipes. I worked on fixing the coolant leak till 10 PM last night so that I'd
have a way to get to work this morning. Grrr... Try shoving a 1/4"
fuel line on a 7 mm fitting with hot coolant spraying out sometime; you'll
understand some of my frustration. Local, quick parts sourcing is a MAJOR
problem with this van anymore.

Anyway, if anybody on the list has experience with Eurovans and could fill
me in, off-list, on some of the fun issues I may be looking at there, I'd
love to hear about it. It might make me take my van to the body shop after
all . . .

On a positive note, my new iPhone is coming tomorrow!!!

Sigh...
