New to the Eurovan forum. Long time split bus & 356 owner. My wife's 4 months pregnant, and I thought it was finally time to sell the Audi TT and get a newer, larger VW with good A/C. Found this bus online in Daytona Beach:

Any advice for common problems/weaknesses, preventative maintainence and good sources for parts?

The GLS is a 2002 with 70,000 miles.

I'll now be frequenting this area as well to see what I can learn.

Thanks for your assistance.

Mark

Make sure you change the transmission every 30k no matter what anyone tells you.....this is the weak point and it is expensive to fix. Some folks say only go to the dealer to assure it gets VW fluid and it's done right.

A great parts souce is http://europarts-sd.com/ Steve is great to deal with and his parts are tops with great prices.

Thanks for the advice. I too have heard the tranny's are something to keep the maintenance up on.
