  1. Had trouble with both the above. Did all the usual [take out clean egr, plus flush rad] neither worked. Decided to spend and buy all. Arranged with my local garage to have it worked on there, and for me to watch. They exchanged the egr, that code disappeared, but code for the egr solenoid appeared, change that...Both codes came back. Flushed rad, filthy of course. Took up a 20% hill and over heated immediately. Stripped that out put new rad in [old was so crudded up it was solid, so much so developed a small leak] Thermostat replacement. next A pig..a real pig. Luckily I had found this thermo has a separate temp sensor attached] used vin to get this as reg gave a different part number..remember this [most dont, appears late 2007 on for emissions.. for one year it seems] The thermostat with sensor does not stay open as default when busted, it was 2/3rds shut. .So, with new rad it still overheated. New thermo along with the rad and its fine. But heres the thing, without having to check on the egr codes [which prior to thermo replacement were still there] disappeared. I called a friend in the USA who tells that the sensore'd thermo makes that part of emissions linked to egr. And without properly functioning thermo/ egr wont function either This is just a heads up. Having gone around in circles with both problems.forever. Oh btw. Stuck between the engine and firewall theres a connection thats linked to egr, mechanic traced it back and told me at the time, you would never know its there unless you were in the belly of the beast..behind the engine. Moral of the tale. You can cure one or tuther but unless both are dealt with neither function. Caveat tho. This is for the thermo with sensor, without the sensor I have no idea. ps...Was also told, if thermo without the sensor is used [wrongly] the comp etc has to be re-mapped

    Hello Lancia, Goodbye Chrysler

    OK so might not be to everyone's taste's with the remains of the Chrysler wing but not much more you can do without getting the 'proper' ones. I have kept my eye out for many years now including on Ebay Italiana and there have only ever been cloth ones for sale. Doubt you will ever find a pair without the seats -postage for those from Roma will be nice! A few quid cloth badges sprayed Matte black to suit............

    Hi! I'm Back!

    The later non-waterfall Grille is the same as the Chrysler one just with the classier badge

  5. Hi the car is id ot wa and running I made the fatal error of using Dexron III in the auto box!!!!!!! Gear change was terrible. Sucked out the Dexron and filled with Mopar ATF+4 it is the only fluid that works. Finaly the car is working. .Having had a 2.4 I had to work out where to go on the stow and go.

    Hi! I'm Back!

    Yes, proud owner of a 2.0 LTD - too big a job (expensive) to change mine to a Lancia so I'm sticking with the Chrysler (I prefer the Chrysler grille too)
