darkchild101

What problems or symptoms are you having. I have had new track rod ends fitted, new drop links and new shock yet my steering is still downright dangerous. I am now at my wits end

hi there DARKCHILD101 did you fix this as my seats doing  this now 

Hi

No i never managed to get it resolved unfortunately

Hi Paul,

We're going to need a little more information to help you out on this one.

When you say the car will not start, does that mean it starts eventually? Does it just keep turning over, and is it turning over quickly enough? As first to eliminate would be the battery. Charge the battery right up and see if it helps first.

If not, then it might be the glow-plugs, have you ever had them replaced? They help warm the diesel up on a cold morning (How cold are we talking?) so the car starts better.

 

If yours does start eventually and has a bunch of grey smoke when it starts I'd say it's probably glow plugs not working right (Changing them isn't too bad, I did a video on it if it's useful to you to try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vtGGp4Jqp8 ).

 

Other things, mine is a 2005 and does occasionally have a tough start, on a cold morning it'll start then cut out almost immediately. I'm suspecting either injectors or leaking return valve but not 100% sure on this one yet. Second crank and it's fine.

Thanks for video. Mine is a 2001 are the glow plugs in same locations and how long did it take you

Self explanatory really. Mine is a 2001 model

I replied to this but its went missing. Your smoke is prob due to dribbling injectors. Check inside boost hoses and intercooler for turbo oil leak as your mech says.

only prob you might have is sheared studs so soak them in releasal before job.

Sorry for what might be a stupid question but what or where are the studs

Anyone. Please

My mechanic has cleaned egr but the car is still smoking and he said turbo is leaking and something about a leak. He reckons turbo needs replaced. Now the car accelerates fine and stuff. Does this sound right

Is replacing the turbo easy and can I do it myself? How many hours woukd a mechanic need or how much wouldnit cost. He says he is too busy to do it now? I m thinking of getting second hand one. Really at my wits end

This is exactly what mine was :-)

So what was the fix for this problem

Injectors are very expensive where can i get them cheap

Bignev any joy? How did you get on with get on with having key cut and locksmith

I have only 1 key and 2 fobs which don't work though they have same part number at the back

So if i buy this key off ebay which looks exactly like mine, will a locksmith be able to code it in?

Hi all I phoned chrysler about my 2006 2.8 crd voyager and the advised me that there was an outstanding recall on it. the recall is the airbag sensors so it's going into platts garage in Stoke tomorrow morning to be done.

If anyone isn't sure about there cars just phone a dealer and asked them to check.

That's all I did

Do i just give my vin or what?

The UK mark 2 was the best for me. That's the reason I fell in love with these cars.  If only they had mark 3 specs with mark 2 looks, would be perfect

Result!!

Good to know information!

The guy put the key into this gadget , I think to read the transponder and they can do it

I went into Timsons and asked if they could cut a key and the answer was yes and £40 for key with programmed transponder

Hi, no... you can get a brand new uncut/unprogrammed transponder key off ebay, I paid around £12 I think.  You then need to get it cut to match your original. If you have the manufacturer code, the key supplier can cut it for you. If not just take it to a local key cutter along with your original.

 

You then need to get the transponder programmed, in Chrysler USA cars, there's a procedure that you can follow to program it yourself, but you need at least two already programmed keys. This didn't work for me. But you can just take the newly cut one to any car locksmith and they'll program it for you as long as you have at least one original.

I get you now. Thanks

I bought a blank transponder key off ebay, there's a couple of different types but they look different so easy to get the right one. I then took it to my local cobbler who cut it to my original key for £2

 

It then worked mechanically in my doors & ignition. I then tried to program it using the official method (only works if you have two original keys) and then found out that UK spec chryslers don't support the key programming option,

 

I then called my local auto lock people and they said they could program it for £25, but before I got round to getting it done I sold the car.

 

So basically you can get the key off ebay, I even think they will cut it if you supply the original code, but then you need to get it programmed correctly.

  Unless i misunderstand you, so you mean i can get a second hand key off ebay and get it programmed. Do the blank keys on ebay have a transponder in them?

I have only got one key (i mean the actual key itself). Does anyone know what cheapest way of getting a second key is. I have seen so called blank keys on ebay and am a little confused how it works.  After getting the key cut, wat about the transponder bit?

My 2002 has always been the same as that, had it just under 4 years.

Quite useful to leave the radio on for the kids when filling up actually.

 

Try an experiment, have it in neutral not park, switch it off, and try taking the key out then - mine won't bizarely. The key won't even turn to the actual off position!

Mine is a manual. I managed to remove the key while engine was running. Not good at all 

My switch is very loose. In fact i can pull out the key at any point in the cycle with no resistance at all. Any fix for this please?

So pissed, lost a set of keys yesterday for the car.(which I've never done before) So today phone chysler to get a price for a new set. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, new key and 5 button remote £121.00 key cut £7 1/2 hour labour to program remote,key immobiliser and to delete the old key and remote. £66. What do you think??

Rather reasonable. Did they tell you how much to get a spare key (i mean actual key blade thingy)

Oh no not the Voodoo car from hell. If I had 20 scanners and 20 time served master mechanics each with 50 years experience available for a month we would never get info from that car. I'd stand more chance with a Whiccan doll, a bucket of sharp pins, some eye of newt, a devils mark and two spare agents of the devil and some Voodoo stones. Yes I'll meet you somewhere on the 19 or the [GNR] 1. The Quayside is about 50 miles north of me mate. 

QinteQ there is a fella near me who has a ICarsoft 980. Any idea if this would do a decent job reading the codes? He has offered to it free but i dont want waste his time if it wont work

My mate lives just north north of London on the Cambridge corridor, I live in the Boro, you are welcome to (2) a free read and code clears where they exist. Most code readers won't read Chrysler you need at least a good scanner. There's no such thing as a good scanner costing less than a £housand or £500 on a 'grey'. Long shot is - reset the computers by pulling the POS terminal for 16 minutes. Best of luck. [Caveat Emptor on any 2004 radio code issue]

QinteQ where exactly are you mate? I am planning a night out in Newcastle in next 2- 3 months and might take you up on your offer sir

Hi the problem is with your injectors. Mine did this and eventually the car kept stalling. Took it to garage they diagnosed 3 injectors. 4th one was eventually replaced. I would replace all 4. Aa brc covers injectors.

How much did you pay to get injectors tested and replaced mate?
