  The battery was under warranty (just barely, by one month!), and my VW dealer swapped it our for a new one free of charge. I'm still going to get the charger you recommended to prevent this battery from suffering the same fate. Thank you for your help and the advice on the charger purchase!

  Buy a scanner, its a diagnostic tool, cost about $80. A must have for VW owners. I have a 2003 Eurovan too. Most repair shops will charge you about $60 to tell you what the problem is? A scanner will display a code that refers to the problem.

  A friend recently reported that the engine light on my 2003 VW eurovan stays on when started. It is parked for 6 months while I am in Italy. I had all fluids checked before leaving and there in no oil leak. Does anyone have any suggestions or know why this is happening? Thanks

  The battery on my 2003 VW Eurovan is dead and I need a replacement. The VW dealer is asking for almost $300. My question is can I use a Sears Diehard or does it have to be a an original VW battery? I have head that I could have electrical problems later, is there any truth to this?

  My husband and I are looking at different options for travel vans. We are interested in VW Eurovans or Vanagons. In our research we came across electrical-transmission problems associated with the 1992-2003 Eurovans. See this link: http://www.gowesty.com/campermodeloverview.html Then look for the title: "The Achilles heel of the Eurovan is the Automatic transmission" After reading about all the problems associated with these camper vans we are probably going to consider different type ...

  Hi Roseroyce, I wish I lived closer - I'd be happy to show you my 2003 EVC [Eurovan Winnebago Camper, essentially identical to 2001 & 2002 models]. I live about 40 miles E of NYC. As you may know, the [2003, etc.] Eurovan Campers came in 3 models - MV, Weekender, & Winnebago. You can run a 'compare' search to get a chart showing the specs of the 3. The Weekender ... Read More

  We've had the 2003 eurovan weekender since Thanksgiving and like it pretty well. It's not our primary vehicle so it mostly does short trips around town and tailgates every chance we get. So far we love it. The poptop is great and we've fit 2 adults, 2 kids under age three, and 2 dogs in it for a half-dozen weekend camping trips. Gets kind of funky in there by Sunday night, ...
