I HAVE HAD TWO APPOINTMENTS WITH A DEALER (AFTER VWOA AUTHORIZED THE REPLACEMENT OVER THE PHONE) AND BOTH TIMES I WAS SENT HOME. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER CLAIMED THERE WAS NOT RECALL. AFTER VWOA CALLED HIM HE CONSENTED TO PERFORMING THE RECALL. AS I PICKED UP THE VAN I RECEIVED A STATEMENT THAT THE LINES WERE PERFORMING ACCORDING TO WV SPECIFICATIONS. WHEN I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD I REALIZED THAT THEY HAD NOT CHANGED THE LINES. I BELIEVE THEY WERE FRAUDULENT. WHEN I QUESTIONED THE MANAGER HE CLAIMED THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE SECOND TIME HE CLAIMED HIS FACTORY REP DID NOT AUTHORIZE THE REPAIR. THE VW DEALER IN QUESTION IS LAND VW IN DURHAM, NC. THE SERVICE MANAGER IS DAVE WILCOX. HE SIMPLY REFUSES TO FIX THE FUEL LINES. I BELIEVE VWOA IS TRYING TO COVER UP AND STALL. MY LINES ARE LEAKING BUT NOONE WILL FIX THEM. WHY DOES THE GOVERNMENT NOT ENFORCE MANDATED RECALLS?? HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE BEFORE VW AND THE GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE ACTION? HOW MANY EUROVANS HAVE TO GO UP IN FLAMES. I WANTED THE LINES REPLACED BEFORE I DRIVE THE VAN TO IDAHO FROM NC (WE ARE MOVING) BUT THE DEALER REFUSES. MY NEW ADDRESS IS 2062 CASSIA ST, POCATELLO, ID 83201 (NO PHONE, YET--BUT MY EMAIL REMAINS THE SAME). HOPE I GET THERE W/O AN ENGINE FIRE.

You've logged an impressive 150,000 miles in your weekender! From Key West to Montana, San Francisco to Maine, it sounds like you've had some amazing adventures. Your traveling machine seems to be a great fit for any terrain, whether it's the beach, desert, or mountains (the standard transmission definitely helps). It's also comfortable and economical, which is always a plus. I'm not surprised that people think it's pretty new when you tell them the mileage. It sounds like you've taken great care of it. Best of luck finding a replacement soon!

Hi there! I wanted to share with you that I bought this van on 7/3/2003 and I'm already in love with it! I even gave it a nickname, 'TANK'. Although it was in rough shape and looked like it was used as a farm truck, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's as tight as the one I road tested from the dealer two weeks ago. I'm happy to report that there are no rattles and everything works like it was designed to. Although it will take a few weeks to fix the little stuff and clean it up, it runs great and still has lots of useful life. Thanks for letting me share my excitement with you!

I absolutely adore my 17-year-old car, but unfortunately, it has been quite a money pit. Despite my gentle care, it just broke 100,000 miles and is not running as smoothly as it should. I missed out on a $4,500 opportunity, so I am feeling a bit out of luck with my trade-in. I must admit, I am hesitant to purchase another VW due to the high maintenance costs associated with their higher-end models, and the difficulty in finding someone who knows how to work on them. However, if I could replace the engine and eliminate the VW components, I would definitely keep the car.
-
I love this car! It has 188k miles on it, but it still runs and looks great. I've been missing my 67 VW Microbus since I sold it in 1978, so I'm planning to add a CD player, some Grateful Dead stickers, and hit the road. The Euro even has heat and great A/C - what a concept! And to Toledo Joe: why not consider buying a Buick instead of whining?

I've driven my eurovan across the country and back the first summer I owned it. It was the best vacation I've ever had. This is my favorite VW to date. I drive my VW back and forth to the city every day and it has never let me down. It's a very well-built vehicle.
Other years of Volkswagen Eurovan
Are you having problems with your 1993 Volkswagen Eurovan?
Rollin Flatley 2024-07-06
I completely understand Toledo Joe's frustration. I had all the same problems with my CL Eurovan, and even more. Within the first year, the rear A/C unit, battery, horn, and odometer all needed to be replaced. I also had the auto-shift lever get stuck at carparks three times, with the last time resulting in me having to tow it to the dealer. The engine is underpowered and very sluggish, and there is a big thump every time the automatic gear shifts. Additionally, rain seeps through from the window and windshield. While the new Passat looks nice, I don't think I have the courage to try another VW.
