1993 Chrysler Grand Voyager SE 2.5 turbo diesel
Summary:
Very good car but not reliable
Faults:
Broken engine at 172000 Km.
Gear mounting broken, the engine felt down when reverse gear was engaged. Cost of this repair 4000FF.
General Comments:
For the broken engine : It had to be replaced by a used one (120000 Km), Chrysler do not exchange diesel engines and only propose new engines (65000 French Francs) because of the weakness of it (Italian motor 2.5L turbo-diesel made by VM). Total cost of this exchange was 30000 French Francs.
After investigation, it is a known problem, this engine has been used on the Renault Safrane and Range Rover, they have stopped using it, but not Chrysler.
It is a very space-full car, comfort is good. It is very good for large families.
With a reliable engine, it could have been the best car I had.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Just want to say that if you own the larger "Grand Voyager" dosn't it make perfect sense that a van this size needs a 3.3 as it has here in the UK. Should have got the 3.3. I have ZERO problems with mine and the van ROCKS...
