That depends on what you intend to use it for and whether it fits your needs.
Could be the best or worst car for you to buy personally but we need to know more to advise

Timbo is here

It sounds like a good idea, but then again maybe it's not such a good idea.

The Phantom Pan Splatterer

Yes.

Away With The Fairies

No, you should buy a bike.

The Stump

If you Childs school is half way up a mountain then yes

johnsy88

Why would you want to? In the current economic recession we are going through, rather "sweat" your asset (current car) for a bit longer. And in any case, the new CGV is a gas guzzler!!!

nah, forget it.

I think you will find the new road tax for said vechile is £400 per year thats one reason to say no.

why does the serpentine belt keep shredding on my 1996 chrysler town and country?

I have had my van for 4 years now. It just hit 200,000 miles about 4 weeks ago. Within 50 miles my serpentine belt broke into shreds. we replaced it but still heard noises. My husband replaced it and removed a guard near it thinking that the guard was bumping the water pump and it was cutting it. It drove fine for a few weeks, then today it shredded while I was driving.

Idler or tensioner pulley is bad.

jumbobret

could be a bad idle tensioner, or maybe some other type of pulley. Maybe you have a bad water pump, somehow wearing the belt down quick, or something. Check the tension of the belt when cold. That might show or eliminate something wrong with the tensioner.

musicalgreasemonkey

look for the roughness now/examine all surfaces/they have to be smooth

ken k

Check the belt to be sure it is running true on all pulleys, if the belt is "walking" on a pulley, especially one that is ribbed, it will be more apt to destroy itself.

And by all means check the tension idler to be sure it is keeping the proper tension on the belt and is moving freely as it should.

Don't know everything !

check all the pulleys to make sure they are turning freely.

paschal d

Remove the belt and manually turn each pulley by hand. This will tell you if one of them is sticking, grinding, or wobbling. Also make sure the pulleys all line up straight with each other. Make sure one pulley isn't sticking out further than the rest.

Another Chrysler engine question?

I'm working on a 96 Chrysler Town and Country with the 3.8 liter engine. My belt slipped off and I can't figure out how to work the tension-er pulley. How are you supposed to get this belt back on? any help would be hot.

The best idea would probably be to go out and buy a repair manual for your car. It'll show you in detail on the whole process rather than you eye balling it.

Garage411.com

Go to www.allpar.com and search mini van timing belt

rick b

It slipped off? It needs to be replaced, and probably the tensioner needs to be replaced as well. If you messed with it and it came off, that's different. It just needs to be threaded back on starting at the tensioner. It's in any decent shop manual. Just go an auto parts store and red that part if you need to and don't want to buy the book. I'd buy one if I were you.

Rudy H

There are long skinny special tools made to fight those tensioners.

done wrenching

It uses a 15mm box in wrench (preferably with a pipe extension for leverage over the end) You put the wrench on the bolt that holds the tension-er pulley on and pull down to loosen the tension-er to take the belt off or put it on. If the belt is coming of on it's on, you need a new tension-er and a new belt as well. The tension-er is bolted on to the front cover of the motor with another 15mm nut from the back side.

What kind of automatic transmission fluid does a 1990 Plymouth Voyager take?

Asked by: KeithM @ 2009-04-26 16:09:16

Answers ::
ATF fluid

TAF187

ok so someone told you atf fluid... atf stands for auto, trans. fluid so that did you no good.. you have to go to an parts store and see what the books that help you pick out different oils says.. there might be a specific brand for your car.. 99% of the time its regular ATF however if it says something like dextron or dextronIII that is ok 2

sean l

Try ATF+4 It is recommended for all chrysler trannys.

Johnny C

Dexron will kill most recent Chrysler transmissions. You need the ATF+4, or at least the ATF+3.

Windowphobe

Yours was recommended to use ATF2 when it came out. Sense then the ATF has improved to keep up with other trany problems in the newer trans. ATF3 and now ATF4 is now recommended for all Chrysler/ Dodge auto trans and in some power steering as well.

CAR ACCIDENT ON 05 CHRYSLER 300 QUESTION????PLEASE HELP?

I.VE GOTTEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT , A BIG TREE LIMB FELL AND WAS GONNA HIT ME THUS I SWIRVED AND CAR SLEPTED TO A POST POLL, SO I WAS WONDERING, SINCE I HAVE FULL COVERAGE ON MY 05 CHRYSLER 300 AND HAVE STATE FARM INSURANCE , WILL THEY GIVE ME A TEMP CAR TO MOVE AROUND,AND HAVE IT COMPLETELY REPAIRED, AND HOW MUCH IS USUALLY THE DEDUCTABLE

Asked by: NOTORIOUS NEUTRAL AGUILA @ 2009-04-26 04:23:48

[Best Answer]Well I'am glad neither you or anybodyelse was hurt. The amount of time you get the rental for and when depends on how quickly the insurance company works and how presistant you're with them.

So say the car is declared by you not driveable for example they should either pay or reenburse you for the towing bill to get to the right garage to aprraise it or the insurance adjuster can come to look at the car and tell you if it's a right off or will be fixed , then you can select a shop or have them select one to get the car sent to.

But basically from the time you have no driveable vehicle you should have a rental car , so you could just call and should of already called the insurabce company and declare the car undriveable and ask for a rental asap.On the average most ppl that end up with car rentals due to insurance coverage or work done on their vehicles etc they get them for about 10 days not much longer though.
The type of insurance you have will state if any deductables and whatever the repair damages are you'll have to pay that deductable on.Also if the rental is issued once you sign that contract demanding on the type of coverage you have and mostly your local state laws etc you may end up paying a daily insurance coverage rate on the rental.Sometimes you're own insurance is used therefore no need for the sep car insurance coverage expensenses but on avgerage it's a good 12 to 16 bucks per day.

Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way remember that the insurance agents etc are working for you bec you help pay their wages etc too so be sure not to hestitate in asking them all the questions you're concerned about.

This is all in your insurance contract. most deductibles are around 500 to 1000. depending on you complete coverage. many companies will allow a rental, and attempt to put you in something comparable to what you are currently driving.

Buying car insurance for the younger person is a complete nightmare, my brother had to spend more than his car was worth! He shopped around but found http://www.expertzword.com/insurance-guide.php really helpful

The main thing is, that there was no Personal injury. Your coverage, deductible, and a rental car are all in the policy you opted for. If you are not sure, call your agent.
