2006 PT cruiser timing belt question?

Question 1
2006 PT cruiser timing belt question?...  I am almost at 80000 miles and it recommends to change the timing belt. Not some people have told me they have 180000 on their vehicles and haven't ever changed it. I have heard horror stories about PT cruisers breaking timing belts around 90000 and I don't want to risk bending rods and all that stuff.

It is usually upwards of 600 to get it replaced for my car and I have someone who will do it for 250, so I'm trying to decide if it is a waste of money or whether I should do it since it will be so inexpensive...

Any suggestions?

Answers
1)   If you can get it done for $250, go for it. Why take a chance when you can get such a good deal and have peace of mind - DN

2)   Change the belt and water pump! It is not a waste of time or money. If yours breaks, you will be stranded, you'll have to get towed, and it will cost you much more. The water pump is in the same area, it does not cost that much more to do at the same time, and if it starts leaking after you install the belt, you'll have to pay the same amount of money again. - C-Tech

3)   i have pt cruiser also it is good idear that you do have the belt replaced mine is at 100.000 ks but its fine my mec will replace it soon my inspection is due this month but if nothing wrong with it u dont have to replace it if its cracked or worn replace it and dont go to a dealer they will sock it to you and will cost you over $500 i have mec and it will cost me around $200 that with a local shop hope this helps and god bless and the mec below works for the dealer dont let him fool you hope this helps and god bless - kingtiger_6

4)   If you can have it changed for that much then do it, but I would also change the water pump and check the pulleys. Also it would be a good time to change the motor mount also if it is worn. - ludeman

Question 2
How do I turn off the horn chirp in a 2008 Town and Country?...  I hate the stupid beep when I lock the doors.

Answers
1)   look in your owners manual for where your fuss are at. its unusually, fuses, were ever they are locate dd at on the veichile. not too saure on this type of veichile but its wwrre your fuses arte locatedd at in the veichile. i would take it too a garage mechanicc too figure out which color the fuses are too not pull the wrong little devill. but its l located somewhere were the fuses are att/. - Andrew Sinclair jr

2)   u cant...well u can but then ur horn wont work ....... - Karle

3)   Check your owners manual ...but not for the fuse to pull. The "chirping horn' is an option along with (usually) flashing headlights to let you know the vehicle is locked; there may be a way to select the type of lock warning or to deactivate the horn. Then again, you might be stuck.

Pulling a fuse will usually deactivate numerous items on that particular circuit ...not the way to go. If all else fails, a quick trip to the dealer should be able to produce and answer for you. - Sayswho

4)   It is an optional feature. You can change it, just look in your owners manual. It will tell you how. - Jayme

Question 3
Would it be a good investment to buy a 2005 Chrysler srt6?...  

Answers
1)   No, an investment is bought to make money. No car will ever increase in value (until its decades old but you get what I mean.)
If you meant is it a good car? Personally I think it looks great. Heres a more indepth review: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/car/04q3/chrysler_crossfire_srt-6-road_test - Landon

2)   Investment, no. Fun car, YES! Get the convertible. - C-Tech

3)   You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one, for example here - carinsurance.yoll.net - Ben

Question 5
iI HAVE A 2001 CHRYSLER SEBRING LXI AND I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STOP ACCELERATING?...  IHAVE A 2001 CHRYSLER SEBRING LXI AND I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND MY CAR STOP ACCELERATING WHILE DRIVING A MECHANIC CAME OUT AND TOLD ME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION WELL THEY TOLD ME THEY REBUILT MY TRANSMISSION AND AND NOW THERE HAVING TROUBLE WITH IT SHIFTING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SO THEY PUT A USED COMPUTER IN IT AND ITS STILL GIVING THEM PROBLEMS

Answers
1)   Tell them your caps lock button is broke.... - Justin

2)   Hope they didn't charge you for the computer (aka transmission control module).

Did it actually stop moving and the engine would just rev up? This indicates an internal transmission failure, and it likely actually needed the rebuild.

Did it stop shifting into overdrive and would only go a certain speed? This indicates limp mode, and can indicate a problem with the electronics, usually not an internal part failure, usually not requiring a rebuild.

Or, did it stop accelerating like it wasn't getting any gas (like you let off the pedal)? This would indicate more of a problem with the engine instead of the transmission.

It sounds like it has an electronic problem, whether it's a sensor, the solenoid pack, the module, or something else.

Also, if they put a USED control module in it, that could be the problem in itself, it could be the wrong module, or it could be a bad module. I would never buy a used control module for any of my own vehicles.

To me, it sounds like they don't really know what they're doing. - Mark B
