  1. Does how many times a car fault code flash mean anything. When I check my codes it starts with P1130. Now sometimes this will flash for say fives times. Sometimes it will flash 40 times before going on to the next code. I also wish I could clear the codes. Have disconected the earth lead from the battery, turned on the light, and left it disconnected over night. When reconnecting the battery, fault codes are still there.

  2. I have the engine fault light on, not flashing just a steady light. The key dance tells me I have P1103, P0403 and p1685 codes. My mechanic said that his code reader was only showing P0402. Now I have checked the voltage on the pins that go to the EGR solenoid and this is only showing about 6 to 7 volts. Is this the correct voltage, have looked at stuff on you tube and they say 12 volts. But being a Chrysler who knows what voltage it should be. Any help will be appreciated.

  3. I have just purchased a streetwise scanning tool for my Grand Voyager. I does not work. Who out there has a scanner, and what do you have. Don't want to pay a fortune for one though. It is for easily turning off codes. I know how to do he key dance to get codes.

  4. Yes took my man about 6 hours. Trouble is the engine management light has come on. It is showing p1130, which it was showing before he done the car. It is now also showing p0403 and p1685 as well. Not sure if these are new to the car. Anyway I will be seeing him next week, so will have a word about it then.

  5. Well I just had my man fit a new timing belt. For those who do not know. I have just bought a Grand Voyager 2007 with 105000 miles on he clock. As there was no service history, I thought it better to play safe. So the guy who used to look after my cab fitted a new timing belt and water pump. Cost £500. I thought this was reasonable, having watched what he had to do to fit it. This car seems to have different underwing panels to those that I have seen on u tube. Anyway I know that I would not have been able to do it, as I don't have the locking pins for the cam etc. The belt looked in reasonable condition. My man thought it was possibly the original, but of course he could not be 100% sure. The water pump was still in good condition, but all was changed anyway. The tensioner for the belt had gone to the full limit of it's travel, so I guess the job was required soon anyway.

     

    All the best to all

  6. When I change my fuel filter, is the fuel system self bleeding? I.E. Do I just let the electric pump fill up the filter, then turn the key to start. Also if you run out of fuel is it the same?

     On my old cab it was easy as the filter was in the engine bay, and you just had to change the filter, pump in new fuel till the air was out, then hey presto, away you went.

  7. Thanks for that Tim. Nice to know thats where the horn is. Makes it so much easier to use.  The Diesel pre heaters should not really be coming on when the engine has been running for a few miles. But has only done it twice. I thought that the lens would just pop out but did not want to break them. Radio seems OK but wanted something with a sat nav and blue tooth fitted. Also the reversing camera looks handy.

     All the best and stay safe. Nigel

  8. Well I have now driven 100 miles and now need a few answers. Have found nothing in the hand book I down loaded.

    1 Where is the horn? Try as I might I cannot find it.

    2 How do you change the front reading/courtesy light bulbs?

    3 There is a light on the speedo/rev counter console that is right at the bottom in the middle. It is yellow and looks like heat rising. Any ideas what it means. Has come on and gone off.

    4 Has anyone fitted an after market radio? I would like to fit one with blue tooth, sat nav, dvd possibly. The fitted radio is bigger than a din 1, but smaller than a din2.

     

     Thats all for now, thanks for any help.
