Exhaust Chrysler Voyager

Common exhaust issues on the Chrysler Voyager often involve leaks, unusual noises, exhaust smells inside the vehicle, or premature wear caused by road shocks, moisture, and winter salt exposure. These problems can affect engine performance, fuel consumption, and emissions compliance.

Typical symptoms include:

• Reduced engine power and increased fuel consumption, often accompanied by loud noises like rumbling or whistling.
• Exhaust smells detected inside the vehicle cabin, indicating leaks through cracks or faulty joints.
• Loud exhaust noises from corrosion or damage under the vehicle caused by acid exposure and moisture.
• Check engine light activation due to cracks or loose connections near the exhaust manifold or catalytic converter.
• Strong fuel or exhaust odours and visible rust or broken pipes upon inspection.

Key causes include:

• Wear and corrosion due to shocks from road debris, acidic moisture, and winter road salt accelerating deterioration.
• Leaks at the exhaust manifold or catalytic converter, especially common on 2.5L petrol and 2.8 CRD diesel engines with seized bolts requiring penetrating oil.
• Poor maintenance such as missing regular inspections or lack of fuel system upkeep, worsening leaks or blockages.

Basic DIY checks include:

• Checking fuel level and quality.
• Visually inspecting for rust, cracks, or loose pipe connections.
• Using an OBD scanner to read fault codes from oxygen sensors or injection systems.

Common DIY repairs:

• Exhaust manifold (2.5L petrol): Apply WD40 on bolts, carefully dismantle the catalytic converter (beware of spring bolts), and replace the manifold using torque tools and heat-resistant gloves.
• Pipes or mufflers: Inspect and tighten or weld minor cracks and loose connections with a lamp and vehicle support.
• Fuel filter replacement: Change clogged filters following the vehicle manual for fuel flow restoration.

Consult professionals when facing complex problems involving the catalytic converter, oxygen sensors, or requiring specialised diagnostic tools. Avoid general car garages like Norauto or Speedy for these issues and prefer certified Chrysler specialists for expertise and accurate repairs.

Preventive care tips include:

• Regular exhaust inspections every 10,000 to 15,000 km.
• Cleaning the fuel system and using premium fuel to reduce deposits.
• Running the air conditioning system during winter to avoid related malfunctions.
• Automatic transmission fluid change every 30,000 km using the recommended fluid type.

Refer to online forums and tutorials for detailed maintenance and troubleshooting guides.
