Carrying on with the ABS problem I got two codes initially UOA96FF and B2F968D, which the code reader said it was no signal from front right sensor and no link through the computer. Replaced sensor and the light is still on but it’s thrown up code UOA9601 no signal? But I can’t find these codes on any list and wondered if anyone has a Chrysler own list.

According to the app and talking to Autel themselves it does everything the Mk808 (expensive) does and I must admit when I used it for an abs fault it seemed to go through all the systems.

Hi fans, I have just bought an Autel AP200 Bluetooth code reader and it actually reads the Voyager including ABS etc. The cost is around the mid £50’s but make sure it mentions mk808 as there are cheaper versions about which doesn’t cover a lot. I’m using an iPhone with it but it says it works on android phones.

Thank you gents I have read your advice regarding battery condition, I should have remembered that I had an XJ8 that would fire up easily and charging was spot on but the asc light and trac light would stay on. I changed the battery all was fine and all the lights stayed off. Just to confuse me I did a 40 mile round trip yesterday with two stops and the abs light stayed on, I basically did the same trip today the abs light went off and stayed off! I’m sure it’s playing with me. I will look back at advice on a new battery but it will have to wait a couple of weeks I’m broke after the front suspenders.

I probably misled you but ever since buying the Voyager it’s done the clock needles spin round twice before starting. I have been getting various jobs done ie radiator, new front suspenders etc, so thought I would do the button mod. Having done it the starting from cold has improved and where the abs light has stayed on before mod, all of a sudden it went out and stayed off. Then the other day I stopped for about 15 mins then going to start it, the needles spun round before starting and the abs light stayed on. It’s not doing anything new it’s just reverted back to what it was doing prior to doing the battery mod! I will borrow an obd11 scanner and see what it comes up with regarding abs light. You can tell the mot is coming up.

Yet another headache! I’ve done the resistor mod for the battery and all seems okay but if you do a run, stop a short while go to start and the needles go round the clocks twice before I can start it. It also makes the abs light stay on. It’s been off for days but when I had the problem yesterday the abs light came on and stayed on. The battery is still well charged so I’m head scratching, any ideas please?

New struts and mountings fitted and all the unwanted noises have gone plus the car is so much smoother to steer. Mot is due at the end of August so a couple of minor jobs to do. So having done the radiator the car is running quite well at the moment. Thanks all for your advice.

It’s a diesel, jeep Chrysler offered me a deal of £102.00 for pair of struts, top mounts and bearings so have bought them, we shall see how long they last. Strangely I took one strut off today to find the mounting hole has elongated in the top mount! I’m rather mystified but have made a temporary fix with old mount, sounds and feels a little better, just have to wait for new stuff to come.

Can I ask you gentlemen what brand of struts do you recommend? I have seen a pair plus top mounts for under £120 the pair from Jeep Chrysler parts, but have heard their parts are a bit suspect.

Hi Gordy, have just changed anti roll bar bushes when the inner and outer track ends were changed the mechanic said the lower arm were fine and it had just gone through a MOT? I have just been out and lifted at the front wheel arches and there’s a light clonk at the top end of the strut, so I have a feeling the top mounts and bearings I fitted last year may have failed. There was no noise at the bottom of the strut. I’ll take one strut off rain permitting and have a look.

Anti roll bar bushes fitted after a marathon event including having to split the nuts. Guess what the noises are still there absolutely no difference. Would the struts make this sort of noise? I am also getting a wheel vibration above 55mph which has only just started pre anti roll bar work.

From cold the engine fires up and runs okay but when warm it fires up then dies, I have to catch it as it fires with the throttle then it runs fine. I don’t have any experience of diesels so any help /advice appreciated. It’s a 2005 voyager 2.8 crd and there is no fault codes.

At last I have fitted a new rad, flushed and filled with new Hoat plus distilled water and touch wood the temp gauge rises to just below half and there she stays so hopefully that’s sorted. Now after a bit of help I don’t want the bother or expense of changing the audio system but want to play my I phone via plug lead, has anyone modded their unit and how. I gather you have to pull the unit out and solder in the new lead, anyone know which wires you need to use please?

I’m slowly losing the will to live, I have noises like a heavy typewriter from the front suspension. I have replaced top shocker mounts, inner and outer tie rods and anti roll bar links, suspension bushes feel okay and was checked during mot and by garage who did the inner tie rods and seem okay. Help?

Hi, I did a little research which left me a bit confused ( not difficult these days) I just wondered if anyone had tried it on a diesel. But yes I have started looking into re mapping it’s a lot simpler than a lpg conversion and cheaper which always helps! Right I will start looking round.

Having had an xj8 with LPG I can confirm the benefits of it on a petrol engine but has anyone fitted or had fitted a system on the 2.8 diesel Voyager, is it worthwhile consumption wise and secondly would it get a lower tax bracket as the emissions would be reduced, any thoughts?

Trials and tribulations of the MOT. New left front abs sensor and a rear brake pipe and she passed, I had to get the garage to bleed the car as it wouldn’t for me, but I was told I had put the pipe on the wrong way!!!!! Will look when it stops raining but it’s all done and no warning lights but now I have a strange sound like a graunching from the left rear wheel, something else to look at.

Mot failed, abs light on and n/s rear brake pipe corroded but have advisory on play at inner ends of steering rack. Does this mean replace rack or can play be taken up with new tie rods?

Thanks cerbie, apart from the usual tie bar nut removal it was straightforward, I used two Sealy claw type compressors and two single link compressors, I tightened them up a couple of turns at a time with no problems. I’m no mechanic so rather bemused why it causes so much fear in doing the top mounts. I had more “ fun “ changing a broken spring on a Laguna.

I managed to change the top strut mounts on my 2.8crd over the weekend I don’t understand the horror stories about compressing the springs? Anyway whilst there I found the clip on the outer cv boot was missing which resulted in the abs reluctor ring and sensor having a nice covering in grease and muck which I thought was a reason for my abs light being on. I’ve cleaned both and tried a hard reset by clipping both battery terminals together but the abs light still hasn’t gone out. Is there any way of turning the light out without the proper scanning tool? Getting desperate as mot is on Friday.

Fellow Voyagers I need to replace the front top suspension mounts on my 2.8crd, any advice as to which make to get as there are lots on line with a vast difference in prices. Secondly the rear window is bloody awful in anything other than dry conditions for getting covered in wet stuff. Before any comments yes I do use the rear wiper, but has anyone come across something to keep the window clearer or is it a case of put up with it? Thanks for any help.

Thank you gents. I will do some searching and when I get my refund I shall get the one I decide on.

I have just purchased a BlueDriver Bluetooth scanner as the adverts claim it covers my van a 2006 2.8crd, guess what it wouldn’t even read the vin? So its gone back, I have looked through old posts but am confused [ normal for me] but can anyone suggest a scanner that actually works especially one that covers ABS, the local garage wants over £50.00 to read and tell me its got a fault not what’s wrong. Any help people?

Thanks I will have to look at the front suspension.

Hi fellow Voyagers, what tyres do you run? I ask because now that I'm getting more used to the car and going a bit quicker I find that it understeers, being fwd a bit is acceptable but apart from going slower do you find the same?
