VW Eurovan Maintenance Notes
Here is a list of Notes I have gathered from various sources on the net.
Here’s a partial list of maintenance that hopefully has been recently done. If not, count on plunking down some additional cash:
1. Tires. If not correct load rating, you’ll need new. They aint’ cheap.
2. Serp. belt and pulleys. 30-40k interval +/-
3. Timing Belt and water pump, pulleys. 60k +/- interval.
4. Clutch if it’s 5-spd (5-spd best, but if the autos lasted this long, it is probably good. Change the ATF, though.
5. CV joints, shocks, ball joints, transmission mount.
6. Front brakes. The rears last forever on the 93’s.
7. I would read the codes. You need an OBD 1 reader. If it is CA original then it has a check engine light. Other states have no light for 1993. There may be codes even if the light is not there or not lit.
on july 4th, let’s try to get 500,000 americans to run into mexico.

Al-Qaeda’s 20-year Plan
Al-Qaeda’s 20-year Plan
For anyone that is interested in the war on terrorism, and article in last week’s issue of The New Yorker is must reading. Lawrence Wright’s, “The Master Plan,” discusses the development of al-Qaeda’s strategy since 9/11, gives an overview of their primary strategists, including Abu Musab al-Suri (who I wrote about here back in July, “The Architect of the New Global Jihad“), Abu Bakir Naji (author of The Management of Savagery, now available in a translation by William McCants at the Counter Terrorism Center at West Point), and a critical analysis by Jordanian author Fouad Hussein, who outlines al-Qaeda’s 7-step 20-year plan in his book, Al-Zarqawi: al-Qaida’s Second Generation. Hussein’s book is based off a number of interviews with al-Qaeda leaders and his time in prison with Zarqawi. Read more…
