  1. Could you provide the Fault codes currently present on your dash?

     

    I've attached an image - On the left is the relay I assume you're referring to ( "front chassis crossbeam") 

                                         - Then on the right is the location for the transmission control relays position ( which i presume you're possibly referring to as the "PCM relay" ?)

  2. That's correct. I managed to purchase a complete turbo and manifold for a price you wouldn't believe ( I still don't to this day!) and use the actuator off of it.

     

    I've attached the link to my post regarding the issues I had, but if you want the short story - car ran and started fine, if you tried heavy acceleration the warning light would come on until you slowed back down. After fault finding and discussing with my friend ( a mechanic) turned out to be seized waste gate and actuator starting to fail.

  3. No problem, faults like these can either be obvious or quite time consuming to identify.

     

    Possibly. I had the P2035 fault code myself. My issues turned out to be a seized waste gate and my waste gate actuator failing ( but my car ran/started fine, unless you tried to floor it) 

     

    that component is the EGR solenoid. But I couldn't say if that hissing noise was okay - but I've never heard a noise like the one you have ( not saying whether that's right or wrong) 

  4. I presume you have just the one fob simon? 

     

    Also, another silly one - try the fob and if it doesn't work, give it a little tap then see if it works. ( sometimes the batteries don't sit very well in the holder) 

     

    Below is an extract from Chrysler manual ( sorry for misinforming anyone)

     

    "The recommended battery is Duracell DL 2016 or equivalent, TWO cells are required. Battery life is about three years minimum."

  5. After reading through the post thoroughly and assuming you have no other issues with the car ( no lag, limp mode, hunting, excess smoke or rough running etc.)

     

    Plus you cant find any leaks, then its either air getting in or possible blockages ( the rubber hoses with the crimped metal ends aren't the best and injectors can get blocked easily. Also the connector you found unplugged is a bit suspicious)

     

    Here's the list Chrysler provide, for hard start checking.

  6. Chrysler stipulate using only one battery instead of two ( ill dig it up from the manual when i get home) but I couldn't really comment on why.

     

    Not to long back I had a few issues regarding the fob locking/ unlocking and it working at different distances. Turned out to be the battery - well that's all i changed and it fixed my problems.

     

    Haha, yeah I've heard about that trick. Apparently there is method to the madness, regarding that trick. 

  7. I've checked the sensor and it's ok.

    Checking for damaged wires would mean opening the loom and following them to ?? Do they go to the ecu ?

    I'm tempted to disconnect the Ecu and give it a go with contact cleaner,whats the procedure ? batterie earth plug off first and then disconnect the plug.

     

    Have you only checked it visually? because it still could be faulty.

     

    I would imagine a break of that nature ( where the loom is protected) isn't overly common - more likely corroded pins i'd say.

     

    Yep, disconnect the battery and then you can remove the ecu - check all pins and give it a light spraying.

     

    Mike suggests you redo the test as described by him in his latest post as well.

     

    Also, I've added in what lead me to highlight the 4.5v reading you had

  8. As the consensus states - they gather water and rust the steps & sills. 

     

    I removed mine about 2 years ago. Had more or less the same ones in the link below. Fitting was for the most part easy ( slight persuasion to get it all in the orientation necessary) 

     

    But still going strong with no rust or other issues.

    Hi pal and welcome.

     

    Nope you're not being thick, I tried it too, they are weird in that the bench seat will fold flat backwards, but not forwards!!!

     

    But I am sure I saw a photo of one perhaps on autotrader that was folded forward, or maybe i dreamed it......

     

     

    I put my hands up to that as well nev!  :lol:

  10. I've been using mot-checker which when I've see what they are failing on the main ones are the hand brake not holding and abs (forgot that one)

    I've seen a fair few with rotten sills.

     

    Changing wheels just preference as makes the vehicle more personalised to the individual.

    Take it this forum people don't do things like that.

     

    I'm going to look at two today with a bit of luck I might buy one of them.

     

    Ones a black voyager LX 130k miles

    The other is a grand voyager 102k miles in silver

    Not bothered which one as I haven't noticed the size difference.

     

    Like big nev mentioned - we talk a lot on this forum, so any and all issues no matter how unique they are get mentioned and rectified! 

     

    Most issues are easy fixes and home mechanic suitable. Just keep doing your homework till the right one comes along.

     

    I understand. I've just never gotten round to looking for aftermarket wheels

     

    Cant speak for automatics either - always had manual ones ( which also reminds me, just make sure all gears accessible and smooth engaging)
