Hello all. Although I am a relatively new owner of a '97 Eurovan and member of this group, it has not taken me long to get the gist of many of the posts here. Since we want to spend more time with our vans and less time on Facebook, I have taken the liberty of developing an efficient "do-it-yourself" post that allows you to fill in the blanks and be on your way!
I am hoping that one of you can help me. We have a (19__/20__) Eurovan with __________ (200,000 miles / 500,000 miles / a broken odometer) and we are planning a trip across ___________________ (State Parks / Canada / our lawn). The concern is that lately, whenever we ___________________ (go up a steep hill / go down a shallow hill / look at it the wrong way), the _________________ (check engine / check ego / check wallet) light comes on. As well, there is a noise coming from under the floorboards that sounds like a _______________ (squeal / rattle / the cries of the souls of a thousand VW assembly line workers). My suspicion is that it has something to do with the ____________________ (transmission / torque converter / flux capacitor).
We would hate to break down in the middle of the __________________ (Serengeti / Rocky Mountains / 7-11 parking lot), so I am wondering if any of you know a __________________ (reliable VW mechanic / therapist / classmate who studied German in high school) who would be able to ___________________ (repair it / put us up for a few nights / convince us to abandon it on the side of the road). Also, I am looking for advice on installing an aftermarket ________________ (transmission cooler / solar panel / hot tub).
