Jeremy Clarkson once said that cars really are like people. What I love about what you do is you treat these cars well, you get the engine going, take them for a drive, clean them inside and out, and get them back out on the road. So many videos are just of looking at or starting the car, you actually *care* for the cars you work on and its what I love the most. Hope you get your workshop soon.
A 90's survivor, most of these have sadly rusted away or have been used and abused. There's now a first gen Pontiac Trans-Port in my hometown of Belgrade. Dark green, almost all original apart fron a touch screen radio that was installed, it's in really nice condition.
Yeah, most Chrysler products from this era unfortunately fell victim to cash for clunkers or were beaten the hell out of just like every other Chrysler minivan. Also amazing that you got to see an original Dustbuster Tran-sport. There’s a green Lumina APV that I see every so often.
@@whatamisupposedtoputhere it's a shame that they were either scrapped or trashed..I remember seeing a few Trans-Ports back when I was younger, mainly a few white one's. To me the rarest of the trio is the Olds' Silhouette-
Greetings from America. I got to say that even here a Pontiac Transport Dustbuster van is super rare. The voyagers too. You see more 1998+ Chrysler vans often. For some reason anything pre 1998 is not common anymore.
It’s got that classic Chrysler starter. Pretty amazing how it tried to wheeze to life right away. Something tells me I’ll be doing something similar to this. Fixing up and cleaning old rustbuckets so they can be resold.
@@nikonordman7624 hey I live in Canada we salt the roads for half the year. There are some gems out there that owners have coated and washed religiously that don't resemble the Flintstone car.
I had a 1996 Chrysler Concorde sedan with that same engine and transmission. Bought the car new, and drove it for nearly 200,000 miles. Best car I ever owned. That engine and transmission are very dependable. As a long-time Chrysler driver and enthusiast, I'm really glad to see you working on this one!
Great video! I always liked the looks of those chrysler vans. I see this one has a V6, that's pretty dandy! You have a great place there to test drive these vehicles, I like that. Great job on getting it started and running, great job on the whole video! Thanks for posting!
I drive a 1993 voyager with the 3.0 v6. It was 500 dollars, and has all the paint peeling off but it’s surprisingly reliable for a 30 year old vehicle with 220,000 miles.
I have a '92 red Caravan with only 64,000 miles with most of the paint peeled off. Going to invest in a lot of spray cans and make it look a little better. Runs great and looks like new inside. I love the van. Best car I've ever owned.
Have seen the video by chance: I had a 2.5 Petrol SE, 1994MY in that same color, RADIANT FIRE RED (it looks incredible in the sunlight) but also, before VOYAGER, I had and still have that Zurich keyring with my house keys( nice coincidence).Good luck. Greetings Estonia
Would be interesting to see a performance comparison between the export ECE headlights and the North American headlights. It looks like the ECE ones perform better in the video.
Отличная тачка. Немного отхимчистить, отремонтировать и можно ездить. Большой салон для семьи и багажа. На дальняк, если самому ехать и ночевать в тачке на природе, так вообще может квартирой показатся.
soooo... a few things !!... Normally I do like your videos, tbh I have watched every single one of them, but there are some points that I would like to make out on this one. -First of all, What happened with the gearbox? Was it fixed or you drove it all this time in first gear? -Second, what was that leek? Why did the engine bogged down when you where installing that hose back? -Third and last, I do enjoy a good car cleaning but after the 3rd minute showing just one panel I lost interest. I know that English is not your mother language. Neither is mine, probably you can tell from all the mistakes that I've made so far, still though some info about what you are doing and why, would be much appreciated!! There's nothing to be said about your video quality man. Just add some subs, if you're not feeling like talking and explain to us what we are seeing!
Hi, I didn't fix gearbox but previous owner told that its some sensor issue, I think it is solenoid in gearbox. Maybe idle control valve was stuck but not sure, it only idled without vacuum hose. Should I do shorter clips about washing? Thanks for telling. I try to add more text in future videos (after 2 videos because 2 videos are already rendered and uploaded but will be published later)
@@Flexiny you just can't pretend to do the things the way every body likes, because we all have different tastes. You do an awesome work, keep going! 👏
Cool to see the European version of the Chrysler minivan. Glad they got the automatic column shifter, those are rare nowadays. I'd imagine those being so uncommon by now in Europe.
Hi from uk mate👋👍 another brought back from the wildlife👌 the water pump came back around lol sounded bit rough to start but found itself again to keep pumping quietly👍 and wonder if just needs tranny fluid and filters changed ? Looked really well after wash and clean good job my friend👌 maybe do still shot before and after side by side at outro from episode, some are night and day difference 👌 thanks for your time be safe and see you soon👍👋
I'm here to see it! The master working on American junk haha. Great job! I had a '97 Caravan that I bought new. It had about 50,000 miles on it and just died while I was in line to drop my son off at elementary school. Just died dead. Nothing. Luckily there was a Chrysler dealer next door. Walked over there to have it towed. Saw a new Town & Country van on the showfloor and just traded it in. They offered me way over book value which I thought was crazy since it was broken down. Salesperson says they will fix it no problem and have it sold within a week. I went back 2 weeks later to get my license plates installed and saw it in the shop with a nightmare of wires coming out of the engine bay and it looked nowhere close to being sold LOL. The Chrysler ran 200,000 miles without a problem though.
Nice it had the 3.3 litre. Always hated working on the 3.0 L Mitsubishi engine that so many of those had here in Canada. Water pumps sucked to change on those... You certainly have a wide variety of vehicles in your country...
@@peachyclean93 The engine was not bad, although it was cumbersome to service. I had the same car with this engine and the biggest problem with it in my opinion was that it required revs to perform at its best. This is not what you expect in an MPV. However, I have also driven a facelifted Chrysler Lebaron III convertible with the same engine and it was perfectly fine there.
did u fix the gearbox so its shift to second gear?? Bc i looked the video and i did not see if i shift but i hear the sound of the engine shift to gears. at 19:51 good work anyway guys i really love this channel bc you dont often talk and u can hear the engine runs and exhaust and more stuff. keep the channel up :D
I love those americans minivans. I wish we could have more of them here in Brasil. We had a few of them around 90 but they were too expensive and pretty rare to find.
Oi, também sou brasileira e amo carros antigos/gringos, sei que sou "diferente" por ser mulher e tals mais me fala uma coisa? Lá na América é normal pegar um carro na rua abandonado e sair andando? E também o governo deixa? Muito bom gostei kkkkkkk e se ele quiser pode tirar peças para colocar no dele, se ele tiver um igual óbvio? Lá é tão diferente
@@rainhadoscortesgaabyy3883 Eu vivo nos EUA, e bem raro aqui achar pessoas que fazem isso que esse cara no video faz. Cuando carros sao abandonados aqui generalmente o motor o a transmisao nao funciona mas. Sempre tem alguns carros abandonados nos autopistas "highways" e aqueles carros o governo leva pra destruir entre algunas semanas desde ser abandonados nos autopistas. Si ficam abandonado nas residencias, o que o cara fez pode ser feito legalmente, com aprovacao do dono do carro. E esse video foi feito em Europa, o carro e a versao Europea com placa Europea.
This is something I can finally relate to! It sounds like an iac might be bad since it can’t properly adjust to influctuation of an air leak. Those 3.3 are a bit hard to find in the swb configuration most were 2.4/3L you had to get the upper trim level to get it with that motor which from just looking I think this is a Plymouth voyager. Hope you fix it try replacing the shift pack solenoid first if not check your level of fine change fluid and filter might be clogged if that not it it just might need a rebuild at least the pin hasn’t shoot through the case yet.
Outside of north america they were mostly sold purely as the chrysler voyager or grand voyager, dropping the town & country, plymouth and dodge caravan names, not seen them here in the UK in this generation (aside from the ones brought over by US services on their bases), the later ones were popular for a while, especially fitted with the 2.5L VM Motori diesel engines, apparently more economical...
@@TFD1982 I don't know if there was a 3.8 option, and no, I don't own any, just gathered info over time that resides in my head, rarely even see the later generation ones here these days, they seem to have all but disappeared...
@@twocvbloke oh ok gotcha we have owned every generation except for the newer ones I know a bunch about them I can totally understand why they didn’t possibly get the 3.8 if it only manages to only get 10k/100Lhad to look that one up lol all I know if they can MAYBE get 25miles per gallon if babies at 88kph
@@TFD1982 My parents' 1992 LWB with the 3.0 once went 420 miles on one tank according to the odometer, and made it to the next gas station without running out of gas. (I was driving it and wanted to see how long it would go on one tank) My favorite generation of minivan ever.
The old girl cleaned up pretty nice. Fired right up, impressive, even if it wouldn’t idle. Sounds like it smoothed out nicely. Shorty Chrysler vans were rarely this well equipped in the USA. Did you get the extended length vans in Europe as well?
Yes we got the longer ones to. My dad has one, although not as well equipped as this one but still the same 3.3l engine. Many childhood memorys from that car. Sadly it just sits now and has done so for many years. If memory serves me right it had the same issue with the idle as this one last time it ran. It was somewhat reliable, the engine always ran but the transmission went out once, ignition lock broke and i remember the sliding door falling off it's track one time. But all in all it was pretty good
Man this makes me really miss my 94 Voyager had 793,000 kilometers on it all original with that same 3.3 V6 but the transmission was acting up and had to sell due to money problems otherwise I would still be driving it
Will give this one props though I do like the design of this styled Plymouth van better after all its built on the Plymouth Reliant K platform and those cars were amazing over anything that was a competition in the 80s whether it was a Ford Taurus then or a Chevy Celebrity which all came out early 80s to compete with one another. K Car was best built hands down
Ho I have a 1995 with the same exact color. 2.5 L manual transmission. No A/C , no rear electric vent windows, doesn't have the ceiling computeur , console stuff. Great car, already complicated but still simple at the same time. european headlights ( and taillights ) are really expensives, some reproduction would be cool.
Just a random question. Why do you think the oil was overfill? Just consumer error or was it fuel in the oil. Many thanks for the interesting videos. Bill
Just last week I came across a 1995 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE All Wheel Drive in Pennsylvania with 141.000 miles that's been sitting for years. The windshield leaks, mossy inside, but interior loo ju s good otherwise. $1,995.00
At 21:35 what is the problem with the little hose ? if you plug in it stop the motor ? I have one 3.3 AWD to save in an old french farm. Thanks for your help
I didn't know Chrysler sold these in Europe. Nice to see amber rear turn signals because for some reason North America allows red turn signals in the rear.
You should start talking in your videos and add really loud techno music throughout the entire thing. And also add more clips of you playing call of duty while you talk
My favourite RU-vidr's would all be like Flexiny. No running commentary. No music. No talking to camera. The visuals, background sound and of the engine, and a few subtitles are all we need. 👍💯😉
@@Flexiny Oh no, poor guy! What condition is it now and how much do you ask? Probably it's more expensive to visit Estonia from CZ, but maybe I can call it a holiday...
@@deffington6627 Transmission solenoid is bad (previous owner said), idle control valve is bad I think, driver side rocker panel needs some welding (center of it) and driver door hinges are in bad condition. I think there could be some more issues because its been standing for long time. But I dont think it is worth to import this car from estonia, u can find a lot better one from somewhere else. But it is not my car, just owner of it keeps it at our place, I think he wants about 300-450€ from it, not sure whats the exact price.
@@Flexiny I imagined you tried to fix it before trying to sell. Yes, you are right, it does not make sense to import, even though they are getting very rare. Hopefully someone in estonia takes it. And thanks for reply :)
