1995 Volkswagen EuroVan review from North America
"A great van. Too bad it is so rare in Canada"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace spark plug cables 3 times over the six years.
Replaced the electric water pump twice in the last two years (original German part!?).
The sliding door stopped to lock smoothly and requires special skills to be locked.
The transmission broke and the estimated cost of repair is about $3500 Can. Was hard to find a shop willing to do that since it seems to be a very rare fix.
General comments?
Roomy and very comfortable. I can transport full size panels when I fold the seats.
Quite easy on gas considering the capacity (20-22 mpg average).
Expensive parts due to poor aftermarket and lack of competition.
