Interior! / Passenger-area cabin temperature (while camping, top not popped)

« on: November 25, 2015, 10:49:39 am »

Hi EV, I have a few questions around our 2002 Eurovan Weekender:

1. With temps cooling down, I bought the full window insulation set form GoWesty. I think those helped this past weekend, but I feel the passenger area floor gets really cold (the pop-top is down), perhaps from poor insulation/seals around sliding door. I’ve considered piling wool blankets, or drape wool blankets where the bottom bed starts, as quick fixes. Has anyone has similar experience and can offer their approach to help warm this area?

2. We have been using a small Honeywell HCE100R Heat Bud Ceramic Heater to help supplement the cabin temp (when external power is available) but I think it’s too small for the job. Can anyone recommend a small, safe portable heater they really like?

Best regards,

Marc

Interior! / Re: Name and/or Part Number for Rear Hatch/Tailgate Black Molded Plastic Protector

Hi, I'm not sure it's #701803717B since it's a small ~foot-long black molded piece which I suspect should not cost ~$200 ($185.04 at 1stvwparts.com or $219.71 at http://www.busdepot.com/701803717b) ??

Interior! / Name and/or Part Number for Rear Hatch/Tailgate Black Molded Plastic Protector

« on: October 27, 2015, 07:36:58 am »

Hi, we have a 2002 Eurovan. Does anyone have the name and/or part number for the black molded plastic piece on the floor of the rear hatch/tailgate just inside the rubber weatherstrip? It can be seen here (not the bumper adhesive strip that's being advertised, but the black molded piece seen just above it): http://www.eurocampers.com/assets/images/46245c.jpg . I've also attached the image.

Hi, does anyone have experience with Eurovan MV covers - e.g. $329 Ultratect at GoWesty or $200 polypropylene at Bus Depot or $280 Covercraft on Amazon - and/or other recommendations?

Interior! / Interior Parts Replacements for '02 EV

« on: October 07, 2015, 07:25:30 am »

Hi, we're still proud new owners of a 2002 Eurovan Weekender with gray interior.

We're looking to make a few interior improvements, including replacement of a worn interior sliding door molded panel/trim (previous owner had dogs, see photo below/attached) and replacement curtain track end caps which are missing (see http://www.eurocampers.com/1992-2003-EuroVan-Weekender-replacement-curtain-track-end-cap-DISCONTINUED--NO-LONGER-AVAILABLE_p_384.html).

I've researched at gowesty, busdepot, europarts-sd, eurocampers.com.

I am planning to reach out to 1stVWparts at 877-737-3670 to discuss options.

If anyone here has a lead to original or aftermarket parts IN STOCK please let us know.

Thanks!

Interior! / Manual and Interior Parts for Silver Eurovan w/Gray Interior

« on: September 30, 2015, 11:52:14 am »

Hi CV Forum,

We're proud new owners of a 2002 Eurovan Weekender and we're looking to have a general repair manual and make a few interior replacement fixes, including:

1. Replace a broken plastic mapholder/pocket on the driver-side rear-facing chair, as shown here: http://photos4.automanager.com/019736/6beecb2c721de242a9874beb9e4a4064/16ba562ccf_640.jpg

2. Replace lost curtain gliders and hooks in gray/dark gray color, like these but in gray/dark gray color: http://www.gowesty.com/images/ec/products/thumb/thumb_79d87ecc754e580de87de291e0e13632.jpg

3. Replace the removable doors in the rear bench seat, as shown here: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-hE9nni-VwO4/U3D3sZM_6GI/AAAAAAAAcpc/WtTFeurZjUA/s640/18.JPG

4. Eurovan-specific van cover for protection from outdoor elements (e.g. tree sap, sun, etc.)

I did find this as a potential fix-it manual option, from Bentley Publishers:

http://www.bentleypublishers.com/volkswagen/repair-information/vw-eurovan-repair-manual-1992-2003-ebahn.html

GoWesty and BusDepot do carry the curtain gliders and hooks but in aftermarket white color only.

Lastly, if anyone here can recommend a good Eurovan-specific parts dealer online, please do since we're expecting additional replacements needs every year, and many I have called on GoWesty's recommendation are more specific to non-Eurovan VWs.
