my only concern is that it is both door speakers and they both stopped at the same time, gonna get the door panels off this week and wire direct.

hit'n'run

heyup!! on my 2003 voyager the door speakers have both stopped working, driving along today with some sweet tunes percolating thru the car and out of the blue i lost all sound from the front except for the dash speakers. twiddling the F/R fader will deliver an exceptable sound but not true quad sound, is this a known problem? i have checked for breaks in the wiring but as they are not wired in tandem i cant see that being the reason. what am i missing (other than quality sound

i would cut away the rust and weld plates on, that there is an MOT fail waiting to happen (suspension mounting points are very close). i know that for a fact as i have just (last week) done mine for that very reason.

well, heres a little tale with a BIG question attached having recently tackled the (non)handbrick on my 2003 Mk4 CV driven by an MOT fail i managed somehow to dink a small hole in the rear O/S brake pipe after throwing the tools in the boot in disgust and spending the night browsing the web to find a replacement i go out in the morning to find my drive awash with fluid,, oooh bugger! i thinks. later that day said part arrives (£48 from eurocarparts) and gets banged onto the car, fills the now empty reservoir with Dot4 and i huddle down with bleeding gear to do the deed, mrs on the pedal and pump. 'Squirt' oh god! i forgot to replace the crush washers on the banjo joint, too late to run around to the local car spares shed so yet another wait, next day i am greeted with another fluid lake washing the drive (thank god its slabbed) so on the phone i go but no avail as the washers are not readily available locally so another trip on computer and Amazon comes up trumps (prime next day too). so! new crush washers in and all tightened down, res refilled and all prepped for bleeding. mrs starts engine, pumps pedal, i crack nipple aaaannd nothing, expecting the bleed jar to erupt like a Jacuzzi i am just about to sent tools into orbit and i realize what my brain had not at first registered, fluid level had risen slightly so i have another go and sure enough it does. now heres the question, knowing that there is at least 750 ml of fluid (the amount replaced in total) on the drive and NOT ONE BUBBLE of air in the bleed jar, is it possible for these brakes to self bleed by gravity? i have road tested the brakes with a 10 mile run and they are the best that i have ever had, no sponginess, no fade off and no pulling either side. im worried that they are going to bite me in the backside at the retest tomorrow ? ??

hi Scruf! going thru the same problems as you have hi lited in your OP, did you sort it and how did you get the right result? i would be grateful for any info you were willing to share,,, Jon

hi peeps!! chrysler voyager 2.5 csl 2003 mk4 has anyone on here changed an air con compressor themselves and has any advice to share? i think that mine has destroyed itself and i am looking at changing it myself to lower the cost of the job. i recon i am pretty competent as a mechanic (no formal training tho) and have the requisit 2 spanners and a hammer so really just wondering how hard can it be and do i need any specialist gear (screwdrivers) any advice would be welcome. Jon

wow nigel, a nice concise and informative answer there, exactly what i was looking for and i will be all over it like a rash on a teenagers face in the morning just a couple of things tho, 1) when you say 'loosen' the centre hub bolt, is that just loosen and not remove to facilitate prising off the end cap? 2) is the mini relay identifiable as the air con relay at all? thanks very much for your help so far Jon.

hi, i have a voyager 2.5 crd 2003 and last week i had a strange grindy rattle on start up, quick inspection revealed that it was coming from the pulley area but couldnt pin it down. today while on a short drive i had smoke coming from the bonnet and a burned rubber smell in the cab via the heater vents, i cracked the bonnet and saw that the belt was smoking on the AC pulley. cutting the journey short i returned home and now i fear the consequences of trying to run it with out an expensive garage job. any one willing to put my mind at rest with a possible diagnostic (clutch or full compressor and the extra's) and or are there any work arounds as i have never used the aircon and would gladly remove if possible. Jon.

just a quick intro, for the past 5 years i have been the proud owner of a Chrysler Voyager 2.5 crd 2003 that has carried my wife and i and four kids plus camping gear faithfully all over without missing a beat. TILL NOW Jon
