Subject:      Eurovan vs Vanagon

I am posting this just to tell Vanagon owners that they are not missing any thing by not having a Eurovan.

I had 2 vanagons, a 87 syncro and a 82 diesel (converted to gas). Both were lots of fun but had the well known typical problems. I went through the tire thing and the head gasket thing and the engine stutter, stumble thing, and the syncro drive shaft thing. All were fixed after a while.

Now I have a Eurovan. Hey, they have the tire thing to be worked out. And they have the piston slap engine thing problem. You know how on Vanagons one minor problem leads to another then to a larger one? Had this rumbling noise in front the the EV. First did wheel bearings now CV joint and next month maybe ball joints.

t seems that where ever you go, there you are. Some things don't change. Eurovans are much the same as Vanagons. I love them both. Gives me things to do with my spare time and money. Does anyone have any spare time or money to lend me?
