Volkswagen Eurovan owners have reported a total of 171 problems for their cars built in the 7 model years listed in the chart below. The chart shows the number of problems reported across all service years for each given model year of the Volkswagen Eurovan. The 2002 Volkswagen Eurovan cars have the most problems reported (45 problems).
| Model Year | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| 2003 Eurovan | |
| 2002 Eurovan | |
| 2001 Eurovan | |
| 2000 Eurovan | |
| 1999 Eurovan | |
| 1998 Eurovan | |
| 1997 Eurovan |
The following chart shows the 19 most common problems for Volkswagen Eurovan cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's engine and engine cooling (42 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's electrical system (24 problems).
It would not be fair to compare the Volkswagen Eurovan of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across Eurovan model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.
PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,
where P = total problems reported during the life of a Volkswagen Eurovan model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).
The results are shown in Table 3.
