VR6 engine, long wheelbase model. The Eurovan has all available options from new. MSRP was $59,000 for this model when new, and it has the same equipment and features found on the last 2003 models sold in the US. The 1997-2003 models are identical in every respect (except for the patterns in the upholstery). The 1997-2003 models were the first to offer the powerful VR6 engine instead of the earlier Audi five cylinder from the old Audi 5000 platform. The VR6 engine can also be found in the Jettas and Passats. The VR6 provides the Eurovan with 140 horsepower, and it finally addresses the "underpowered" complaint from earlier models. The models came standard with an "adaptive" four speed automatic transmission , and are quite responsive and are at home on the highways at cruising speeds.The newer Eurovans were also longer. In the 1997-2003 models, VW only offered them in a stretch version. The factory stretched the Campers fourteen inches in the rear. This allowed for quite a bit of interior room for the kitchen area, and also allowed for the addition of a removable third row seat. Additionally , the second generation Eurovans had improved safety features. The 1999 and newer models had standard anti-lock brakes and dual airbags. Like its predecessors , this Eurovan is quite practical to use as an everyday car. It is GREAT if you have small children, as the sliding doors and the two rows of rear seats are super handy! The EuroVan is equipped with daytime running lights, dual airbags, and anti-lock brakes. This Eurovan is also equipped with Air conditioning, Central heating system (for camping), Automatic transmission with cruise control, power windows, power locks, and a host of other features that I will try to illustrate below Simple climate controls work well. The vehicle has front and rear heat, and A/C. I have tested both and the heat and air conditioning work quite well. A/C is the newer R134A refrigerant. The stock sound system was a Panasonic unit. I had a new Kenwood unit installed last week as an upgrade. The Kenwood unit has hands free blue tooth for your telephone , as well as blue tooth audio streaming , It also has native Pandora and Iheart radio. I went ahead and splurged and got the XM Sirius Satellite module installed as well. The unit also plays CD's and CDR's in various formats. Both front seats swivel 360 degrees. Here are two of the three tables that come with the Eurovan. There is the removable center-row seat, an $850 option when new. The Norcold refrigerator is a tri-power unit , it can be powered by 12 volt, 110 volt, or by propane. It hasn't seen much use. The stove top is a two burner unit, operated on propane, and the sink is electric. The camping equipment is clean. The van holds 12 gallons of clean water , and eight gallons of "grey" water. Dishwater in this case. This is the thermostat control for the central heating system. This is a furnace to be used while camping. The van is also equipped with a carbon monoxide detector. Rear hatch has plenty of storage, including a closet with hanging rod, and water station for rinsing off. DC to AC inverter is included. I left the stereo head unit box with warranty and the XM Sat module box with the activation code for the next owner. All accessories have their own breaker panel. The rear bench seat slides forward, and also lays flat and makes a fine double bed! All of the windows in the Eurovan are equipped with privacy blinds, or curtains. Just like all of its predecessors, this Eurovan has a full bed upstairs in the tent. Tent has seen very little use. The canvas is in great shape with no defects noted. The pop top seals are still soft and feel great! The screens are still nice too! I zipped all of the screens down, but they have privacy flaps if needed! Upstairs sleeps two adults comfortably. I have been driving this van around for the last few weeks and have thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Everything appears to work exactly as it should, the cruise control works, the power windows, etc. The van was serviced by the local VW dealer regularly, and kept the records. The van is quite clean. The interior and body are overall quite nice for a fifteen year old vehicle. I have had the vehicle detailed and professionally touched-up where needed. VR6 engine runs great and exhibits perfect manners. If you have any questions, I am happy to answer them.
