  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
  14. hi legonuk thanks for the reply ive already emailed them but considering the time of year i wont be holding my breath for the reply lol merry Christmas
  15. hi forum merry chistmas to all does anyone know where i can get a replacement locking wheelnut key from for my 2007 voyger ? or any easy way of removing them without damage ? someone please help my pads are grinding and need my car desperatly thanks scruf
  16. Sounds a lot like air lock I've not had to deal with 1 on my voyager but years ago on an old Vauxhall I had to back flush it Ie take the highest water pipe and flush through with a hose pipe But I'm really not sure how the Chrysler system works Sorry
  17. what did they say about the misdirection and incorrect diagnosis ?? tbh it sounds a bit sketchy and i would definitely be looking for a new garage £1200 is not an amount that can be brushed off easily when reading the very 1st post on this my 1st comment was get a 2nd opinion !!! i know that they are not responsible for faulty parts but ffs £1200 on work thats not needed they are responsible for !!!
  18. cool ill give it a try see how it goes thnx for your advice
  19. thnx for the reply just looked at that listing !! did the pipe fit over the 5mm connectors on the top of the injectors ok ? i know the pipe has a little bit of stretch in it but my personal thinkings 3.5mm pipe to 5mm connectors are a bit too tight due to location of the pipe with the heat from the engine and the fact that they are wrapped up in the sound proofing blanket i worried being so tight will just cause them to split again!!
  20. the flickering lights may be down to the voltage regulator had same issue with my 2.5crd the bad news is that the voltage regulator is part of the ecu so to stop the flickering lights means new ecu (or someone really clever who can repair the ecu) this information was from a very very reliable auto electrician who i have used and known for many many years i honestly just put up with the flickering until i eventually sold the car on and i sincerely hope you wasn't the guy who bought it after !! as for the radio not flickering could probably be due to being hard wired straight to the battery thus missing out the main wiring loom and not suffering the same problems
  21. ive had similar when turn key on no lights come on but the speedo and rev counter spin all the way to max then back down then the ignition lights come on this means the battery is not at full capacity and usaly a good run down the road sorts it out it happens usaly in the winter when i tend not to drive too often (as use my van 98% of the time)
  22. hey peeps just wondered if anyone has encounteered problems with the leak off pipes these are the small (about 4")bits of braided hose between the injectors on top of the engine between the injectors seems to be 5mm pipe with 5mm plastic conectors ?? but the last 1 that then drops away to the left hand side off the block is 3mm ?? is this a specialist bit of hose ? as i cant find 1 if it is nor can i find a reducer of 5mm-3mm or has my car be tampered with ?? the bit of pipe that ive removed was 3mm stretched to fit over the 5mm and atm replaced with 3mm !!!
