  1. Have you checked the pressure release valve on the fuel rail ??? Had same problem if cutting out while driving!! Check older issues on this forum There are few threads that will help
  2. I'm not sure if my issue is related But had similar problem 1 day all my coolant had gone Filled it up kept checking regular Appeared to only disappear while car was parked up Turns out was the "O" ring on the water pump Not cheap to resolve as was new cam belt kit new water pump
  3. Not any info on the suspension apart from I know the springs are humongous and tend not to fit in a spring compressor so advise take it to a garage and pay them As for the rear window I had problem with like a gritty build up that just seemed to get worse the more I cleaned and polished it Until I experimented with McGuires clay bar detailing kit About £20 from Halfords Squirt on the juice rub over with clay buff off excess juice polish after Done the whole car and all paint work came up like crystal glass finish Worth every penny

  5. To be totally honest it’s been a while I honestly vary rarely use the voyager due to having van and another car I tend to check quite often but I would be lieing if I said a month ago ish It has drained itself of coolant before a couple of years ago so since that I do tend to check all levels quite regularly And it’s always got coolant in the header tank just small splash and dash tbf I’m not 100% sure head gasket not gone but experience leads me to think not as absolutely no other symptoms My mechanics theory of the egr cooler with hair line crack sounds plausible
  6. hi brit very interesting read out of question but related to the op (also for any other members who could shed some light) does the 2.8crd engine commenly suffer with egr cooler problems ? the problem i had/have is few weeks ago was driving in rush hour noticed my voyager get warmer than usual (did not boil over) about 3/4 (instead of halfway) when got to where i was going checked water and was low (very low !!) have checked few times since and doesn't seem to be loosing water defiantly not on the floor but water in system is s#@ty so contacted my usual garage told him what i wanted etc.. system flush new anti freeze etc..... he advised new thermostat but was warery about taking on the job due to the could be's ie why loos of water (thinks could be egr cooling something or other?) not having the code reset thingy !! i have copy and pasted the op to him so question is can anyone give some advice about egr thermostat etc...... many thanks
  7. hi guys just wondered if anyone has taken any interest in the new pasifica if not take a look personally i love it and have tried to enquire about them unfortunately Chrysler no longer deal in the uk (to my knowledge) so i have looked at various sellers in us who have agreed in principle to export to uk for me the prices are unbelievably cheap (imo) for a low mileage 1-2 year old motor the issues i have so far are i have read the reviews about them they seem to be 50/50 some really good some not so good (my luck i would end up with a lemon!!) no one will give me an accurate price for shipping + import costs !! what would i need to do to it to make uk street legal (obviously lights etc..) but these pasifica's do a hybrid so how will that work with uk road tax etc.... would i be able to get parts !!! how could i keep the manufacturers warranty ?(due to Chrysler no longer in uk!!) is there anyone on here that could advise me or point me in the direction of someone who could
  8. im on my 3rd voyager now in all the years i have driven them ive never once experienced understeer (unless i drive it like a complete c@#t)evan in the wet they are for there size a pretty stable car on the road if anything i would say body roll is more of an issue i dont think tyres are your problem bud more than likely going to be tracking bushes or somthing else i run standard 16" rims with 215/65/16 with yoko geolanders and preiviously 19" rims btw i live in milton keynes (land of the round about)so i incure turns and bends every 20yrds !!! i have driven normaly and also treated my voyager as a porsche wanna be and i can honestly say understeer is very rare
  9. im no profesional nor a mechanic years ago i had similar problem with a vauxhall carlton i had the gearbox oil changed with new filter that seemed to work if i remember right but from memory there was something later wrong with the torque converter thing with auto gearboxes is no one wants to touch them that ive found 1 reason i was given was they are built by magicians and worked by witchcraft !!lol i wish you luck hopefully someone else will have a better explanation and can help you better
  10. follow up to the op locking wheelnuts.com contacted me there supplier in eu dont have the key in stock and supplier in usa can not confirm a delivery date refunded my moneys back to square 1 think i will end up taking to a garage to have them removed
  11. hi sonic i fitted the cheap ones off ebay to my voyager cpl years back they were easy enough to fit very basic wiring sills needed i would advise buying some decent water proof running lights as the cheap ones didnt last very long before they started to flicker etc......
  12. i used to run 19" rims on my previous voyager ill be honest i had them around 4-6 months and had to change them i had damaged(buckled) one hitting a pot hole i suspect and made the ride terrible the bigger the rim the lower the tyre profile the more chance of damage to rim more expensive tyres etc....... must admit it did look good with 19" rims on
  13. just quick update for people with similar problem i got a reply from www.lockingwheelnutkeys.co.uk within 30 mins not a cheap fix tbh £38.99 for replacement key £4.99-£23.99 depending on type delivery you choose due to being Christmas my order will not be dispatched until 27/12/18 which is duly expected the have assured me that it is a manufacturer only part (ie Chrysler supplied/approved) you have to supply a clear picture of the wheel nut and proof of ownership of the car and id of who you are i will report back with any further information
