It seems that after testing the cooling system, my 96 Eagle Vision TSI need a new head gasket. Since I don't have the $1000 or so to pay for it, a "grease monkey" friend of mine said he can do it. (he said that he did the same on his 90 Olds) To help him work on a real (LOL) car I was able to...

I have a 2001 Chrysler Town & Country LXi with the 3.8L engine. I'm replacing the A/C Expansion valve that is mounted on the rear of the engine compartment on the firewall. I've been struggling to find an identical replacement where the hole location for the sensor matches identically. The original...

I need to change the fluid on my 1998 Dodge Stratus. When I went to Walmart to buy the fluid, they only had Mopar ATF+4. If I remember correctly, the TSB said that ATF+4 could be used as a replacement to ATF+3, except for 1999 and before mini-vans. I checked on Allpar.com, and there was mention...

My son's 1996 3.5L Eagle Vision TSI (92K miles) has started idling at ~1600 RPM (even when the engine is warm). The check engine light is lit and the on/off/on/off/on key trick displays a code 25, which appears to be related to the AIS. I've cleaned the two throttle bodies and attempted to...

Hi, i have a neon that has a battery that goes flat after 36 hours. The battery has been tested and appears to be fine so does the alternater. I’ve put a multi meter on the battery terminals and it has a drain of 0.032 amps. If i remove fuse number 4 from the dash it drops to 0.002 amps and the...

I just bought a 2008 Grand Caravan SE Value. I didn't necessarily want to pay the dealer the $500 they said it costs to install Cruise Control, because I'm pretty sure it's a rather simple install since it probably has all the sensors and wiring in place already. I have some questions, hopefully...

What make of OBD 11 scanner is appropriate to use on a 2006 Dodge Caravan. In electronic servicing Fluke is a standard make of meter used. What are good ( working ) OSD 11 meters? Thank you in advance

I have two new vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitor Systems, 2007 Jeep Compass and a 2008 Chrysler Town & Country. When I rotate the tires how to I reset the wheel location for the tire pressure monitoring system. The owners manual doesn't seem to discuss wheel location changes. Thanks Kevin

I've got the buzzing every time the door locks so judging from complaints I've read in a few forums, it looks like I need a new actuator ... and may be in for a few more failures rather soon (92,000 miles). A friend of mine with a GM product replaced his recently and got his new part on eBay for...

Strangely, I've had a problem with the radio simillar to the problem with the car, about 3 times. It's a 95 LeBAron with a 94, 95, or 96 stock Chrysler radio but from a different Chrysler, AmFmStereo Cassette. Black finish. The radio goes on when I turn on the car, or when I turn it...

I have a 2001 dodge caravan with a 3.3L V6 that needs a new steering rack. If anyone on this group has done this replacement, how did you access the two hydraulic lines attached to the steering rack to remove them? They look like standard flare fittings. Everything else seems straightforward for...

Hi everyone. My question! I was wondering that if you don't buckle up, would the air bag fonctioned advenant an accident. Cause if you think of it, the slightest hit hard enough to make the bag open would make you bent forward on the steering and the bag trap would swing open in your face,...

Having serious problems with my van..... :confused: 1. Van intermittently stalls when coming to a stop or slowing to turn corners, all times - not just when cold. Somedays it doesn't happen... the temperature or weather does not seem to matter. It always starts right back up (that is until...

Hi When my Van was on the lift (50000 miles, in Canada lots of salt on the road), the mechanic noticed that the two metal tubes that carry the antifreeze coolant to the back heater is starting to rust , especially were the are there is a little bracket welded to hold the two tubes together. I...

Recently the 2.4 in my '00 Voyager van has begun to detonate or ping on mid to full throttle acceleration under load. If you back off it stops. The motor has 155K miles on it, and has always run well. It has had regular oil changes and maintenance. It is slightly overdue for plugs and wires. ...

Does anyone in the group put 87 octane gas in their Pacifica. If so, how is the performance. Thank you.

My girlfriends 2002 Grand Cherokee left us stranded. Turn the key and the only thing that happened was this icon on the display lit up with a key symbol and the circle-slash. Ok, tow it to the dealer. It's a bad lock. Then the call, the housing was damaged. Up to $500+. Pick up the car. Then...

I stated that I would start a new thread about the 95 GC SE that I bought and here goes. While inspecting the speakers in the liftgate (passenger rear was dead, broken wire) I noticed a black box/module of some sort mounted near the bottom passenger corner (back passenger corner with the...

Hi All, I have a 2006 Town & Country. How can I tell if I have a Disk Brake System or a Drum Brake System? Thanks, Charles

The Service Manual for the 2005 Dakota has this warning: The 4.7L V–8 engine is equipped with copper core ground electrode spark plugs. They must be replaced with the same type/number spark plug as the original. If another spark plug is substituted, preignition will result. Champion, Autolite,...
