Starting Diesel Chrysler Voyager After 7 Years + Test Drive

1996 Chrysler Voyager 2.5TD 87kW

[@Underappreciatedclassics]

Big fan of older Chrysler products, never seen one with a diesel engine before. Interestingly for those who don’t know, up until 1995 these vans are built on a super elongated version of the K car platform. These vans and the K car siblings are the product of the legendary Lee Iacocca and literally saved Chrysler from bankruptcy in the 80’s. Also they were the first cars made standard in 1990’ with a driver side airbag as standard equipment.

[@Mauscmkwk]

They only had diesels in Europe

[@lockettlv]

Fun fact, the 2.5 diesel is Italian

My dad had two of these, we drove all over Europe in them. One of the most comfortable cars I've ever driven! Miss those days.

[@Hairybarryy]

We only got the petrol ones here in the states. Stout but not as reliable as the diesels/standard trans from what i've heard

[@robw6505]

I've always liked the Voyager and this one looks pretty cool. You've proved once again that old diesels never die. 👍👍

[@caballo_de_guerra]

I don't know why people in that country leave cars that still work, here in Spain it is normal to change cars when it no longer moves another meter. And people who buy a new car and the old one still works, the Moroccan Arabs or the gypsies (the poorest in Spain) buy it.

[@robw6505]

@@caballo_de_guerra You are right sir! OK the car may not be in the best of condition right now, but, it could be usable to the right person. I blame previous owners of it for letting it get to that stage, and, with everything else they see somebody with a new car and feel they have to keep up. I hope they can do something with this car so somebody can use it.👍

[@caballo_de_guerra]

@@robw6505 Not all cars are the same 😁that one is big and pretty shape, and it is my favorite color (also midnight blue). I have learned on a KZbin channel called "Garaje Hermetico" that it is important to take care of cars and have them maintained and not leave them broken. Because its second-hand value will be much higher. Sometimes, wanting to save money you will only get a car that has no second-hand value. But if you take care of it and it always looks nice and perfect, the second-hand value will be higher and all that maintenance money will come back when you sell your car.

Never knew Chrysler made a diesel voyager. Make someone a good work van. Excellent work y'all.

Only for Europe.

its a 100% italian VM Motori Engine, same as alfa 164/155/75 , range rover , rover 820, and some more cars

David Brock made a custom one in Canada like this meanwhile they had them in Europe!

[@retinaquester]

@@42luke93 True but Dave had more interests then cars. And although he worked hard to have Google remove it all, the police still has him registered as a sex offender. And he served prison-time for possesion of childporn. He doesn't deserve to be recalled!

@@retinaquester I don’t think he deserves to be forgotten. He served his time and is basically retired from all the crazy farm car videos now.

[@jamesgizasson]

If I didn't already have a manual diesel pickup, I'd buy that van in a heartbeat! I didn't know they came with a 2nd gen 5 speed, let alone a diesel! I wish we got them here in the US! What a trooper, and they were quite a comfortable ride!

[@briteidea08]

The north American version had a standard transmission option. Usually mated to a four cylinder.

[@user-ie6yz2wd3v]

[@twocvbloke]

From what I recall of these, they used the 2.5L VM Motori engines, as used in all kinds of vehicles in the 80s and 90s, proper clattery old things that left the cars & vans they were in with blackened rear ends... :P

[@Rudy97]

And the heads always cracked.

[@WieDrDerJonge]

I have one in my Opel Frontera. I put a bigger turbo on it and some fuel pump upgrades. Makes 160hp and 380nm now and has been very reliable for the last 50.000km. Just be sure to warm it up before flooring it.

I had never heard of a diesel Voyager before, but seeing the euro plate I get it now. My dad had a 94 Dodge Caravan with the same short body, not a grand caravan. If I remember correctly it had a V6, which was one of the only options available here in the states.

Great video flexiny, great work, definitely a car that could be saved and reused,got to love a diesel 👍😀👌

[@Brock_Landers]

WOW! I have owned a few of these, but all of mine were either the Mitsubishi 2.5 non-turbo or the Mitsubishi 6G72 3.0L V6...I never knew they were offered with a diesel elsewhere! These were also offered with the Mitsubishi 2.5 turbo here in the US. I had a 1990 Dodge Spirit 2.5 turbo and it was a fun car for $500. I paid $25 for a used automatic trans (because mine didn't have reverse, typical era Chrysler FWD transmissions), and I bought my buddy a case of beer to install it. I drove that car for 20,000 miles before I took a turn too hard and it threw a rod due to oil starvation. That engine had 180,000 miles on it.

[@jaime8234]

Buen trabajo! Veo que hay más vehículos para rescatar en ese lugar 😎

Damn 7 years of standing, and it aged pretty well i saw most cars that have been standing unusable for less and they looked like they have been abandoned for decades, Chrysler is a good car, they either have Orion or Saturn engines, i believe they also came out with eight cylinder engines, but four and six cylinders are the common ones.
