Electrical, Mechanica Etc Issues

Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8 CRD Diesel

 

Please help as this car has made my head spin

1. Driver Power Seat stopped responding and after a month or so all of a sudden started working fine. Its stopped then again

2. Driver Side Power Window works and stops responding intermittent

3. Passenger Side Sliding Doors stopped working on remote and in car button. Its completely manual now. When the button is pressed... I hear a brief humming sound

4. Breaklight stopped working... changed the bulbs still no sign... 

5. Got few error codes ... discovered with key dance e.g..  P0340 - P0514 - P1130 - P0203 - P0204

6. Steering is getting heavier day by day

7. MPG got worse ever... 14MPG ... it has never been that bad

8. I hear a strange loud metal cranking sound when the car moves off from stationary position and it feels like something is holding the car back although I am heavy on the gas. After a couple seconds car eases and speeds up... like someone was pulling it back and suddenly released. 

9. Cold Start Issues yes!!!!.... so far fine... just takes extra turns before starting... seems like as its getting colder... it would give a lot pain

 

I get the engine oil changed very often... I don't know any Chrysler Specialist in EAST LONDON area... 

 

The BATTERY is brilliant.. it is RED TOP .. 

 

Please help and let me know if there is anything I could do any DIY to improve it... or suggest any good mechanic...

 

MUCH APPRECIATED

Hi there!

Oh dear yours is being very unfriendly hey! I only have a couple of suggestions on your list for you:

 

!) wires under the seat - give them a gentle wiggle - mine did it

2) similarly on this - dodgy wiring

3) sliding door wire track has probably got broken wires that will need soldering, assuming the central locking still works on it - if not it's probably the locking actuator cos if it won't unlock the door won't motor open.

6) check your power steering fluid!!

7 and 8) sticking brake caliper - very very common - all 3 GV's of mine have had replacement rears. If its drags it will use more fuel. Any hot smell when you get out of the car?

 

Do a search to look up the error codes.

Cheers

Nev

Hi,

 

error codes are as follows :-

 

P0203 - Injector #3 Control circuit  - 

 

P0204 - Injector #4 Control circuit - As title suggests injector related issue ( same for previous code)

 

P0340 - No Cam signal at the PCM ( power control module)  - Possibly your cam position sensor or grounding issue.

 

P0514 - Battery Temp Sensor signal voltage too high or low - Not to sure on this one, sounds like the sensor is built into the PCM. But how old is the battery and have you taken any readings from it? just as a precaution.

 

P1130 - Fuel Rail Leakage detected, pressure too high, pressure too low or solenoid open - check around the general area for leaking fuel as an obvious starting point id say. Also this code and your injector faults could be related, due to being on the fuel delivery side of things.

 

 

There are some more things i could highlight in regards to those fault codes, but i don't want to assume with my limited knowledge. Im no mechanic or Chrysler expert. Hope something helps you out though.
