new price 

1850

MK4 Chrysler Grand Voyager Limited 2.8 CRD  Black

£2,000  no offers - will make more pic when this wind&rain stop! 

This was taken when he arrived 2 weeks ago

MOT – February 2021 (its booked for tomorrow) 

Mileage: around 125,000miles

Last owner had it for 6 years.

Now before you will think of latest MK5 model  please don’t they are so bad. More details at the end.

This car ended up with me with few of problems with now been solved and is ready for new owner:

-          New radiator + fresh coolant

-          New Cambelt and water pump

-          Thermostat removed tested, cleaned, sealed works perfect.

-          Front brake Callipers Recon - striped&painted with new inner and outer seals

-          New front disks and pads

-          New brake fluid

-          New O/S  Inner and outer steering control rack

-          New rear sliding door actuator (lock)

-          New Fuel Filter

-          New Alternator, and BOSH battery

Everything works as it should, Air Conditioning ICE cold, heating works perfect, leather seats are in top condition, all audio and DVD works fine, Car has got build in satnav(comes with DVDs), all electrics works, one key only.

-          Front wheel drive, long MPV with Stow&Go system (see on YouTube) BRILIANT!

-          Very clean inside and out. 

-          Few dents and scratches here and there, but it is few years old.

-          Four Captain seats front are heated and very comfy

-          Plenty of room in the trunk even with all 7 seats taken!

-          Rear doors slides back, so don’t need to worry about kids bashing other cars

-          Trunk opens and shut from remote!

-          ESP (Traction Control – only in Limited models)

-          No ABS faults! all works fine.

Starts first time in cold/hot day, no issues with low battery voltage etc. as it is a common problem with these models, however this model has been modified and battery is always topped up with the correct voltage +14 so no surprises here.

Never had tow bar fitted, but if you are planning to put it on I can tell you that they are very good in towing.

Tiers are good plenty of life left Nexen M+S spec so you are covered for EU

Please note that this is a car for £2000 so do not expect too much, I have done all core jobs on it and I think that this price is fair!! And if you consider amount of new parts and labour hours I spent on fixing it.

Fantastic 7 seater, I still own one as well with x2 millage, perfect for family and pets.

Reasonable TAX £25/month and cheep on insurance.

Additional jobs that I can do at the low costs and I would recommend to do by the next owner:

-          New engine oil and filters £60 all in

-          New Automatic gearbox Oil and filter £100 all in

-          Remove injectors and replace with new cooper washers (preconscious) £40 – no issues ATM

So this is solid MK4 model that had one owner for the past 7 years. I had few Voyagers and with the hand on the heart I can say that MK4 is far better from MK5  and I had MK5 for 2y and decided  to go back to MK4 – here some facts:

-          MK5 electric problems with locks, some doors wont open – MK4 no problems

-          MK5 leather seats are only 50% leather the other 50% is made or artificial leather that cracks – MK4 real thick leather 100%

-          MK5 weights 160kg more with same power and torque !

-          MK5 parts are 50% more expensive

-          MK5 suspension feels like a go kart – MK4 ship

-          MK5 is made of cheep plastic – MK4 good robust plastic!

-          MK5 is much louder on low revs

-          MK5 looks better – I agree but nice bowl will not feed your family.

-          MK5 road tax is almost £600!!! Models 2008-2013

MK5 is just a bad choice, not sure about facelift model but one I had was the worst car in my life.

Thank you for your time.

Just CALL me : ZERO752616TWO819 (don't want any scams) 

since I done my bootommod - all battery issues gone. 

20p fix. winner 

HI all, I'm doing timing belt on my MK4 2.8 and thought it would be a good time to replace crank seal. 

As I can see bit of oil coming out behind the cover. 

Question. 

Once I have my belt removed and all 3 pins in, what is the safest/best option to undo this crank bolt? 

I have done this mod yrs ago on mine and it lasted few days. 

Then went very hot so I had to pull over and wait to cool down. 

Next day it went out and I bought proper OEM Thermo that last on average 130k 

I hate MK5's 

- try to disconect battery for 30min - to reset BCM (pooy module that can lock you in a car if he will decide) 

just manage to sold mine and back to solid MK4, not so many electrical issues and much better quality inside - proper leathers and solid quality plastics. 

Sounds like yoh gona have to take box out, without that you wont be able to inspect it at all.

If i was you I would look around for 2nd hand one or refurb yours.

I paid on my old 4 gears £1800 with waranty 12monts.

I got one for sale.

Mint condition

Think you just have to bite a bullet and do a refurb.

At least you will get 12month warranty.

I had my mk4 refurb for 1600 in North London.

Hi , I paid £60 for a 5l MOPAR oil with filter on eBay.

But If you have lost reverse gear allready I don't think that change of oil will help.

I would check if the signal from the stick goes to the box, maybe Somone dropped can of coke on it?

Hi Glassman

Well, if you are DIY guy and have some tolls, you can play with it.

1. Fuel filter(easiest)

2. Secure the car on 2-3 jacks stands with front lifted, handbrake on.

- put in in to the 1st gear

- foot down (I used brick or stick) up to 3.5k revs minimum.

- then check if the common rail return valve is leaking.

- if it does let any diesel out, replace it.

You can also check you MAP sensor and give it a good clean from the gunk.

If they car was not driven, daily or never had a chance to warm up there is a chance that ECU near the battery is corroded.

Corrosion takes months/Years to build up

Remove, open it, inspect it, then give to local INDI that fixes TV so he can check all tracks for you.

All the best.

Have you fixed it?

I'm a bit confused and don't understand what are you asking for.

Does the actuator not opening the latch and do they work electric but not manual?

Springs are pain to compress, I used 4 clamps with shock into the vice.

Top mount bolt often can seize or rust, co angle grinder disc will do the job, but make sure your spring is compressed well and secured.

I buy parts from http://jeepchryslerparts.co.uk

Ok I have remap the engine ECU

And I recommend this to all!

Much more torque and bhp, engine does not go on high revs to get in top speed, and plus gearbox more relax..

Best spent £250 on the car!

Have anyone tryed to replace them ?

Maine were not bad at all but since I was doing full suspension work, shocks, rod and and links was a good time to remove old and put new in.

The old came off easy, and the were a bit worn to be fair, difrence was noticable.

But, I have pun new on, bolted the brackets and they do not close 100% small gap is still there, I don't want to damage bolt or braked....

Had anyone here did this b4? And will they settle after some time is my question.

Thanks

Common rail pressure Valve is leaking. 

Think ing of Re-Maping my GV MK5 

Local re-Map company offer STAGE ONE Remap for £250 with minimum rise of performance 

+ 40 bhp and + 70 Torque 

Not bad I thinbk , but did anyone here tried to go for stage one remap on VM engines? 

Never had such a problem with voyager, but would start of changing Gearbox oil and filter. 

There is no cap  and the pan need to be unbolted and drained oil that way, new filter comes with new seal, I uses full 5l Mopar Oil for this box. 

Keep us up to date with this issue. 

Thought this will be an 2h max job to do, but it turned in to all day. 

Never had problems with changing shocks b4 until now, I started from the driver side.

- lift, secure 

- remove wheel

- undo top link bolt (need a 18mm spanner at the back to lock it then turn nut with 18mm socket, otherwise it will just turn) 

- remove four clips holding the top plastic tray where wipers are (no need of removing wipers)

- undo 21mm bottom shocks bolts, and live one in just to support when undo top. 

- put small jack under the suspension arms so they wont drop without shocks and cause that shaft will pop out from the gear box. 

Normaly you compress springs (I used four clamps with strut in the vice) and use impact 21mm to undo top nut and job done.

Not this time, on both sides top bolt was rusted so bad that it cracked and none of the sockets could not take her out. 

Ended up cutting the top mounts like a pizza, in order to get spring, dust cover, and top and bottom rubbers out. 

All done now, plus I secured the new mounts with a lot of tape so no water will get in and stay there to cause similar problem in the future. 

Old shocks were useless, now much better comfort with new shocks and new top mounts. 

Coming up for sale my Lovely GV MK5 from 2008 in Limited edition. 

Very reliable, all electrics works perfect, engine runs like new does not take oil or coolant. 

Just been to Spain and back and on average took 8.5l/100km at average speed of 120-150 KM/h  

Big massive family van. 

Got some suspension problems, think its the stabiliser or rod end knocks but will go to the garage and confirm then will fix this prior to sale. 

Will also fit brand new  front shocks with new top mounts that I bought months ago and been planing to fit. 

Oil been changed every 8000miles with all filters, oil filter inspected every time and no evidence of metal in it ever, I use top brands from Mobile 1 5w30 ESP dedicated for Chrysler engines. 

I ask for the car £5999 please contact me if interested. 

Thank you my number Zero7526ONE628ONE9

Are you sure it is coolant? 

Usually is Pink 

Look like a Air Con water wastage pipe to me, normal to leak. 

But if Garadge looked at it then fair enough., 

*These pipes looks like and exhaust pipe to me, does it leak from behind them? 

I'm trying to thing where are they located.
