There's an active EV posse on the vwvortex.com, everything from simple maintenance to slammed-with-dubs-and-wild-paint extravagance. �It's mixed with the Vanagons, as I recall. I have not checked there in months, though.

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...
