1988 Chrysler Grand Voyager SE review from Norway
"A very good car for me!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hi, my A604 automatic broke down (only reverse function) after trailering a mini digging machine about 2 tons load + the trailer. I changed the automatic oil and had another 30000 km before it was stop. My van is a long edition from US and it had only 4 slings on the oil cooler for the automatic, while my spare part van from Chrysler Canada short edition had 9 slings on the oil cooler, then I understand why at least my van could not take any load.
Would not suddenly start, moved it 2 m and then stop, no spark at coil. Test lamp system showed no digital synchronize signal from the main computer. I changed computer from my Canada version (same engine) started at once.
Variable charging between 12,5 V and 14,35 V. Checked engine wire harness and put on contact fat. function good.
General comments?
I bought a wreck with defective head gaskets, crashed steering column, no heating due to burglary. So I worked on it for about a month, so went back to "normal". I think the car went very well and I am only waiting find a manual trans-axle, I do not trust the automatic, specially when I need to make some trailer, in holidays + I have to drive a big boat also down to the water, so if someone have a A 543 or even better an A568, I would be more than happy to buy one.
All the best, Jack from Norway.
