When SWMBO and I were looking for a 'bus' for the kids and MIL we discounted the Voyager purely because at the time no diesel version was available although I loved it. Now there is a turbodiesel available I am interested but I have been informed that it aint a Chrysler diesel under the hood but something from southern europe?!?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Also, since the really cold snap hit, my Espace Turbodiesel 2.2 R reg has intermittently flashed up the ABS light, the Airbag light and tonight the service light for a few seconds, any clues?
Ay thank yow

My 306 Cab. lit its ABS light lately (from start-up) on two occasions, both of them when starting the car from cold (~0 degC). Stayed on until stopping engine 40 mins. later. When warm engine restarted ABS light stayed off. Must be something to do with the temp.

I don`t know where its from. But assuming its the same one as here, maybe the following is of interest or help...

turbocharged, intercooled
Displacement 2 500 cm3

If you don`t find out where its from in a week or so, let me know since I am down at the GM plant in Curitiba at the end of next week, and they'll know.

Probably to do with your battery - if current drops slightly too low (i.e on cranking on a cold morning) it can "spark" warnings

i believe that this is the VM itslisn engine as used by most manufacturers over the years. Agricultural but fairky reliable. If its the latest engine (2.7) as fitted to the new grand cherokee, thats the merc cdi unit. A real cracker!!!!!

It's a VM engine, complete with seperate head gaskets. I'm sure you've come across these before. Big problems with the a/c evaporaters on these as well. And you know my thoughts about Espace wiring!
