Is there a description for each letter/number in the VIN?? Bob

Hi there.. I have a 2002 PT Limited. I followed this group about 2 years ago and saw where Cruiser brakes went away in approximately 30,000 mi. I think that's what I remember. I felt the car had excellent stopping ability and so if the brakes went away a bit early, Oh well! I have been...

My husband and I are looking to buy a car for my daughter to commute to college with next year. One type of car we're considering is the Chrysler / Dodge Neon. Probably 1999-2003 model years. Is this a good car? Is there any problems or anything we should look out for? She is going to be living at...

I have an 89 lebaron conv. with the 2.5L turbo engine and 4-speed auto. transmission. I have nearly gone crazy trying to figure out WHY this car shudders so violently upon acceleration. So far BOTH motor mounts, THE SINGLE transmission mount, transmission fluid (changed once), BOTH front wheel...

Hi all, Last night as I drove back from work I noticed my speedometer behaving erratically and then it stopped working completely. Then this morning as I drove to work I found that as I shifted down from third to second the car engine would cut out completely. This happens mostly when I am slowing...

The recommended oil change interval for my Dodge Stratus is 7500 miles, for *normal* use. When I was using conventional oil, I was changing it at 3000 - 4000 miles. Now that I am using synthetic, I am changing it around 6000 miles, which is still under the recommended limit. I am curious to know...

What's the best way to tear down the 2.5 head in a '90 Horizon - pull it with manifolds and disassemble on the bench or pull off the pieces while head still bolted to block? Going to attempt my first head gasket replacement soon as it warms up! Could use any tips/pointers.

I have a 1997 Chrysler Concorde LXi with wipers that occasionally (like when it rains) do bizarre things. Such as double/triple wiping on intermittent mode, continuing to run when shut off etc. The shop said it could be either the wiper motor or body control module but since it happened only once...

I have a 2004 300m with the extended warranty to 84months or 115000km. I can't find the warranty information I had with my vehicle package. Could someone send me a link to the warranty info? I would like to know what the deductable is and what is covered. Also, what is the standard...

I have a 98 Intrepid with a bad starter. Do I have to take off the catalitic converter to get the starter off? TIA Tim

On the Chrysler 300C, there is a headlight washer system with the HID headlights, I cannot find any mention in the Owners manual how to operate them. Do they work at the same time you use the windshield wiper washers, or is there a different switch for them? Also in the Owners Manual, there is...

I'm posting this message as a last ditch effort before having to pay full blown shop prices. Given the fact that a mechanic won't even look at a car anymore for less than a few hundred bucks I'd rather deal with the grease and broken knuckles if I could just figure out what I had to do. My 89...

I have a 91 Sundance, posted about it here before. Just got it a few weeks ago. I had some cooling and heating issues, got those fixed. The problem i have now is the Stock temperature gauge. When i first start it up, after about 5 or 10 minutes the gauge goes all the way to hot, stays there a...

Getting set to do the first fluid change on a Grand Caravan automatic. Question is: When putting the plate back on the bottom of the tranny, is it better to use the supplied gasket or RTV (as it came from the factory). On other vehicles, I've always gone the gasket route (after painting it...

Does anyone know how to remove just the mirror glass on the driver side, remote adjust (electric) mirror? I only need to replace the glass, not the whole mirror unit, but can't figure out how to remove the glass. Thanks.

Need help diagnosing the following: Over the past 2-3 weeks my 98 TC van has begun making a whistling/whining noise that seems to come from the middle to rear of the vehicle and is more noticeable outside the vehcile, yet very audible inside the vehicle. The van starts and runs flawlessly...

I noticed over last few days my car when is cold is running much higher RPM before changes gears then used to do. I checked transmission fluid and it is hard to say if level is right because there are air bubbles in it. After vehicle warms up gear shifting is smooth .Transmission fluid looks...

1996 Eagle TSI w/3.5L and 42LE transaxle w/approximately 70K miles. The car is at school with my son so is about 200 miles away. He called to tell me the Traction Control light came on and stayed on, this was followed by the Anti-Lock Brake System light also coming on. He then tells me that...
