    As title say, it's a 2009 PT cruiser that keeps going into limp mode, revving up really high and not shifting gear. These are the codes it's putting out, it's really a doozy of a list: P0302 -cylinder misfire P0882 - TCM power input low P0700 - Transmission Control System P0420 - catalyst...

    So, the other morning, I got in my 2006 PT Cruiser to drive to work. and it wouldn't start. Turned the key, and the dashboard lights came on, but that was it. No response from the engine. Turned the key again, and the dashboard lights flickered and then went out. When I looked under the hood, I...

    Hi All. I live in London and I love my PT but unfortunately I'm paying way too much for a ULEZ (ultra low emission zone) when I drive my car. I'm thinking to swap an engine with a newer one but in UK I can't find a diesel PT engine that would be ULEZ compliant. Any suggestion which other newer...

    Good afternoon y'all. Wanting some knowledge if anyone has it. Been getting a P0218 Transmission Fluid Over Temperature code for a while, but I have an actual temperature sensor hooked up.

    I've been wanting to upgrade the stock turbo in my cruiser but most kits that I find are meant for the GT. Are there any decent kits or just turbos that will work with the 2005 Touring Turbo for around $1,500-$2,000? Thank You.

    Hello, I have a base model 2008 PT Cruiser with about 140,000 Miles on it. Last month, the coolant started leaking, and I could not tell where. I replaced the coolant cap, and the overflow tube popped off (from pressure I think) and sprayed the entirety of my coolant under the hood. I clamped...

    I originally bought the car being told 2nd hear was weak, that was okay for me. After leaving the shop I had a problem where after driving the car for about 20 or so minutes the clutch would start to stick and it would become impossible to shift. We replaced the master/slave cylinders and thw...

    Trying to change my water pump on 2003. I've ran into a wall on getting the sprocket off the camshaft. What is the best way to remove it? I've tried the puller I borrowed from Autozone to remove the crankshaft pulley, but the ears are too thick to go under/behind the sprocket. Any suggestions?

    Good morning all, Let me give you some backstory. Early 2021, I decided to replace the coolant in my '06 having realized the last shop put in the mountain dew crap. I took the opportunity to replace the hoses, radiator and fan. It spent a little while losing coolant, but never got low. I...

    Figured I'd post an update on the nearly finished rear fog mod! First off: The retrofitted reverse/backup lights are not complete. I have purposely not installed the bottom screws yet, as I have some screw covers I am paint matching in Marine Blue Pearl to blend with my car. Secondly, the...

    Those of you who have been following some of the woes with Whitney know that she's had radiator issues and supposed EVAP issues. Well, the EVAP stuff turned out to be an easy fix. New vapour canister and a new gas cap. Up until the weekend, the past month has been an occasional overheat and...

    I have a 2008 PT cruiser the stalls sometimes while driving. It has 108,000 miles on it.
