Question 1
I have a 2004 Pt Crusier and the A/C Freon* is leaking at the expansion valve. Where is it located?...  I would also like to know a place I can purchase this part at.
I had a shop analyze the problem. The used a special liquid that you could only see wearing special glasses and they said it shooting out the expansion valve.

Answers
1)   if you dont know where its located, how do you know thats were its leaking from???

the expansion valve is normally located on the Evaporator case in dash

by part at local parts store or your local dealer - Jeff

2)   That die is a ultraviolet sensitive die. And why didn't the shop that did the test show you where the leak is? That way you would know where it is and if it is really leaking.
My suggestion is that you go back, have them show you the leak, give you a complete estimate and how the process of how the job is done, and when that is all done and said, you just might see why something like that will need a professional to do the job. Because you could end up seriously injuring yourself and further damaging the a/c system, its not just replace part and charge it. - rick b

3)   Go with what Ric B. says - C-Tech

4)   The expansion valve looks like a big rectangular piece of aluminum - badbill1941

Question 3
Chrysler files for Bankruptcy?...  Is this the start of the next Great Depression? We were told this was not an option, apparently it is. Should we have let this happen a few months back?

Answers
1)   WASHINGTON - After months of living on government loans, Chrysler finally succumbed to bankruptcy Thursday, pinning its future on a top-to-bottom reorganization and plans to build cleaner cars through an alliance with Italian automaker Fiat.

The nation’s third-largest car manufacturer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in New York after a group of creditors defied government pressure to wipe out Chrysler’s debt. The company plans to emerge in as little as 30 days as a leaner, more nimble company, probably with Fiat as the majority owner. In return, the federal government agreed to give Chrysler up to $8 billion in additional aid and to back its warranties.

“It’s a partnership that will give Chrysler a chance not only to survive, but to thrive in a global auto industry,” President Barack Obama said from the White House.


If GM files for bankruptcy protection in the U. S., it will also likely do so in Canada, said a Canadian Auto Workers economist.

Jim Stanford said a filing in both countries would likely result in a temporary shutdown of some GM plants, possibly including operations in St. Catharines.

A General Motors Corp. bankruptcy filing seemed inevitable south of the border after a rebellion by its bondholders forced it to withdraw a plan on Wednesday to swap bond debt for company stock.

In the U. S., GM would file for Chapter 11 under the country's Bankruptcy Code. In Canada, GM would seek debt protection as it reorganizes under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA).

"Assuming GM files for protection in the U. S., it's then not known whether they will also file for CCAA in Canada," Stanford said.

He pointed out that Chrysler filed for Chapter 11 recently, but not its equivalent in Canada.

However, "in GM's case, most people think they will also file for CCAA protection," Stanford said. "There's bondholders in Canada who GM wants to give a haircut to and it's unlikely they're going to agree voluntarily to that."

GM has until Monday to complete a U. S. government-ordered restructuring that includes debt reduction, labour cost cuts and plant closures. But a Chapter 11 reorganization is likely after the company said its offer to exchange $27 billion in unsecured debt for 10 per cent of the company's stock had failed. GM has received $19.4 billion in U. S. federal loans.

Stanford said a U. S.-Canadian bankruptcy protection filing would likely have an impact on its plants.

"It would likely involve some ... temporary downtime of GM's facilities here," he said.

"'We don't know for sure and we don't know for how long."

2)   It happened. Chrysler is out of bankruptcy now. - C-Tech

3)   No, this is not the start of the next Great Depression, but we are in a dire situation. Chrysler filed for bankruptcy and now some reports say that GM is soon to follow. If GM files for bankruptcy protection in the U. S., it will also likely do so in Canada, said a Canadian Auto Workers economist.

Question 4
Did the Plymouth Road Runner car come with floor mats with the cartoon character on them from the factory?...  My friend is looking at a '68 Road Runner and the guy says that they are the original floor mats. Not that this is a deal breaker but we were wondering. Thanks for your help!

Answers
1)   I bought one new in 68 and it just had plain rubber mats - pickmefirstplz

2)   No, they did not! NONE of the Road Runners, from 1968 to 1975, and the ones from 1978 to 1980, came with "cartoon", floor mats. Chrysler had to PAY Warner Brothers for every time they used that character, and they went as cheap as possible! The ORIGINAL horn, incidentally, is ALWAYS PURPLE in color, and the V.I.N. from 68 to 70 is gonna be RL (or RM...or, in one VERY SPECIAL 1969 case, RP!) 23! The 71 and up V.I.N. is WL, WM, or WH 23 or 29. The !969 Convertible (that year ONLY!) is RM 27. - charles h

3)   No they came with just rubber mats...Now you can get ones that do.... - Johnny Rotten

Question 5
Where can I get a spare key or door lock remote for Chrysler Voyager 98?...  I have a chrysler voyager 98, When I bought it it came with just 1 key and a remote key fob for unlocking the doors. Today I had the fright of my life when my daughter accidentally got locked in the car and the keys were in the car to. I went out side the house to help my husband with some thing on his boat. My daughter is only 16 months old and did not want her running in to the road so I put her in her car seat and strapped her in. The boat is right next to the car. Any way my youngest son decided to shut the car door from outside and when you shut the doors they automatically . My husband had accidentally left the keys in car. And there for my daughter was locked in car. My husband eventually managed to Force the boot in and my so climbed in and unlocked the door. I really don't want to be in this situation again and hope it never happens again but just in-case I want to be prepared and want to get a second spare key or at least a second remote to unlock the doors to keep in the house for emergency's. Can any one tell me if it is possible to get a spare key or door remote and if so where I can get one.

Thanks in advance
