  1. We had the cutting out and total loss of power in our 2007 2.8 CRD

    Numerous trips to various garages - fuel filter housing fuel heater wires and EGR valve checked and replaced abroad on holiday. Nothing worked and we kept getting total loss of power until I took it to a diesel specialist who said the fuel rail needed to be reconditioned/repaired.

    It’s not been a problem since thankfully

  2. Hi

    Could anyone recommend a garage that could check my oil pressure? The light has been on for a few days and my local garage near Kingston (SW London) day they can’t “talk” to the car to check it.

    Just as I’m getting to the end of a brutal divorce, no money so hoping this isn’t something major, else it’s bye bye Grand Voyager.

    Thanks in advance

  4. Interesting one this and hopefully find an interesting answer. Doesn't start sometimes, other times it starts ok and then performs its function. Maybe the RAC approved garage found an answer but it wasn't the actual EGR valve, does this EGR have wires to it and electronics. Is this a wiring fault problem. Doesn't sound like Fuel related as of air in fuel but maybe has more than one fault. Was thinking of a sensor fault where crank sensor would shut engine down and not leave fault code but it runs ok at times for many miles. Then there's the Boost/temp sensor, shut down yes, leave code, well sometimes. If it goes into limp mode on booting it code P0235 or likes is left. But noticed on mine when boost sensor totally lost it and shut down happened there was no code, as like crank sensor.

    But that EGR system needs checked and wiring verified.

    Greenflag came today as the battery was flat from trying to start it yesterday - he put some quick start in and it started fine, I've now taken it to AP Diesels to see if they can find out whats wrong. Will let you know.

    Thanks

  5. Hi.

    Our 2.8 CRD has some issues - not sure if these are linked:

    firstly it's had problems starting - repeatedly turning it over and it doesn't seem to fire, this started a year ago and happened randomly, now it happens every day- it could start fine then afew hours later it won't start. It's so bad now that the battery regularly gets depleted.

    The other more serious problem started when we were driving back from Devon and had been stuck in traffic on a hot day, when the traffic cleared I pulled off and at about 30mph the whole engine cut out along with all power steering and power brakes. I pulled over and called my breakdown people. 10 minutes later I tried the engine and it stared and drove fine for a few weeks.

    We then went to France last summer, got stuck in traffic and again, when we pulled off the same thing happened- total loss of power but then the car started and drove fine for 500 miles.

    When I got to the south of France we put the car into a RAC approved garage, who said the diagnostics said we needed a new EGR valve. €800 later the next day, the car had problems starting again and on the way down to spain, at 80 mph we had the same loss of power.

    I checked this forum and found posts suggesting the rear fuel heater or its leads could be at fault, so we had those changed at a garage. On our drive back home we had about 3 more losses of power..

    Since the summer we've had no more power losses, but as mentioned at the start of this post, it's now not starting at all well- it turns over but doesn't fire.

    I called our local Chrysler dealer, who denied all knowledge of the loss of power being a known problem with voyagers.

    So we really don't know what to do at this point?

    In the summer I got these codes from doing the key dance:

    165.1

    168.5

    040.3

     

    Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions for what we should ask a garage to look into.

  6. Hi

    I hope someone can advise us: we drove down to the south of France yesterday in our 2007 Grand Voyager 2.8 crd. Going down a mountain with lots of traffic we noticed a burning smell ( I thought it was rubbery, my wife thought it was electrical) then the amber engine warning light came on and has stayed on.

    As the garages around here were closed over the weekend we kept the car and used it on a few brief local journeys and there hasn't been anymore smells, but the Amber light has stayed on.

    Any ideas what could be up? There don't seem to be any Chrysler dealers around here (near Montepllier) and I'm looking to see if there are Jeep dealers, but I'm hoping that the problem was just to do with the engine getting overworked coming down the mountain in traffic - I was braking a lot.

    Many thanks
