I have has this car since it was 9 months old and i have to say it has been the best car i have ever owned, even with the disadvantages of the pricey servicing costs, it has now reached the grand old age of 4 years old, with a full dealer service and now needs £6700.00 spent on it to keep it going....YES, £6700.00 that wasn't a typo!!!!
For all you Chrysler Diesel owners here is a tip that may save you thousands in the long run. You have 4 fuel injectors in your engine, they are never serviced during the life of the car, they are " a non service item". Well my car has developed a minor miss fire on one of the injectors, the problem is they can only get one out as the others have seized into the "head", by the way the injectors are £700.00 each plus VAT, the head is £1500 + VAT, all these ned replacing now because these "non service items" has become seized and must be replaced. If you have your car serviced regularly, get them to lift out the injectors to make sure they are OK, it only takes 20 mins but could save you a fortune!!!!
SOmeone asked for more information on the car for this review, although i accept this forum is to help people decide when making the all important purchase, this was really a review on additional things to consider when making the purchase. I have been told today by 2 non-chrysler dealers that these type of problem are becoming quite common on Diesel Voyagers of this age, so with that in mind it is a fantastic car to own for 3 years and up until this issue the best car i have ever owned.

Hi, welcome to Ciao, good first review, I cant believe the price you were quoted for the injectors (sounds like main dealer bullshite to me) get a second opinion, especially from the independants, I'm sure your problem is not as bad as they make out (personal opinion ! )... all the best ...Terry.
