T1N vans 2002-2006 / 2005 Sprinter
« on: April 26, 2017, 09:13:45 pm »
Not a build- I thought about doing one, but I don't have a place to do it and after looking at ones like I got, I could never do it as good.

Here is on a day trip with the motorcycles. My OSSA is near the rear of the van.



The Eurovan is gone (partial trade deal for a 2014 OSSA Factory R 300)

Selling my 2000 Eurovan MV
 
This model had the two rear facing (quick release/remove) bucket seats, fold up table and rear seat that converts to queen size bed. Very desirable.
Loads of fun. I averaged 23MPG


New cam chains, tensioners and guides.
New proper sparking plugs
Rebuilt drivers side inner Cv
New passenger axle (a few thousand miles)
Aux transmission cooler with thermostat
Transmission oil and filter change 6k miles ago
Transmission work perfectly
Fresh engine oil and filter change
Very good tyres
Fairly recently replaced rear brake pads
'House' battery with isolator.
New chassis battery
Hitch (just used for motorcycle carrier, not towing)
Factory privacy curtains (nice condition)
Tinted windows
More
226k miles
Ready to enjoy.

Will consider offers

(I bought a Sprinter conversion cam (airstream Interstate) so no longer need this. Runs great and I know of nothing wrong)

Exterior / Motorcycle rack
« on: July 06, 2016, 09:21:20 am »
This is how I haul my motorcycles.
   About $70 from ebay, I did mod slightly to tighten the fit in the receiver- but it has a bolt setup to make it pretty snug anyway.
  I added the LED taillamp strips.


My latest bike (made in Portugal)

General Discussion / New Eurovan spotted in the States
« on: July 03, 2016, 07:47:22 am »
I just saw a pretty new Eurovan (I not exactly sure what year, much newer than the 2003s)
  Parked by my old workplace. ONP- Port Angeles

It had euro plates, I didn't see what country.
 Looked darn nice- too bad we can't get them here.

Exterior / Brake pad wear sensor (2000)
« on: February 21, 2016, 05:07:04 pm »
The brake pad sensor lamp just came on with my 2000 Eurovan MV.

I looked at the left rear and both fronts.
  Pad have loads left on them.

I have to move a bunch of motorcycles to get the left rear off.

Is that where the rear sensor is located?

That or the sensor is just flakey/rust shorting or something.

I'd try and look it up in the manual, but I hate finding things in that darn thing. Give me a paper manual any day.

Interior! / 'House' Battery in MV
« on: September 13, 2015, 03:24:56 pm »
I wanted to have a battery to run things off when the engine isn't running.
I have a 2000 MV.

I sourced the largest batter that would fit under the seat- barely!
I have to take the little plastic piece on the front of the seat base out and cut the carpet out.
It wouldn't fit the other direction, since the seat runner mechanism would foul the battery.



(sorry for the crappy pic)

I used an isolator that can also be overridden to use the house batt as a booster.



I wired up a USB outlet in the seat base- I haven't had time to do a good wiring job for more stuff yet.

I would like to bypass  most if not all the Cigar lighter outlets and fluorescent lamp to run on this battery.
I'll have to do some looking at the wiring diagram to figure that out.

VR6 Engine tech / Idle control at limit error
« on: June 12, 2015, 05:44:27 pm »
I still have this- engine is running well, just replaced plugs/wires, air filter good, throttle body clean, no leaks I can find.

Does the idle controller (in throttle body from what I can tell) go bad very often on these?

Other places to look?

Interior! / 2000 Eurovan MV interior lamp
« on: June 04, 2015, 09:46:29 pm »
2000 MV

I've looked at the wiring diagrams in the Bently online manual, but I can't seem to locate it.

Wiring diagram for the fluorescent lamp inside.

I want to put it and the cigar lire outlets on a second battery.

I saw one place where it said there was a fuse doe that side lamp under the drivers seat- but maybe only the ones that have the optional coach battery?

VR6 Engine tech / 12V cam chain noise
« on: May 17, 2015, 10:22:19 pm »
12V cam chain noise.

Engine with chain rumble, more noticeable when cold.
 
How noisy before an issue?
