Re: Appropriate for snow? [dansindiva] by mrzip

When I bought my 2004 PT it was summer and never thought about winter. I have a turbo charged high output model. Last week we had 8 inches of snow and ice and I was had nothing else to drive but the PT. I was pleasantly surprised and had no trouble going where I wanted. I realize with the low front end I could not push snow but with the four wheel traction I had no trouble at all. My wifes 2005 PT has studded snow tires on it but I feel very confortable with out them.

If you are talking cold air by boaz47

induction, yes. It is easy and it breaths easier. But you need an exhaust system to make it work like it should. If it breaths easier it needs to exhaust easier as well.
 
Like some others here I have decided to move to better plugs and like many have installed Platinum plugs. I just got back from a road trip to Texas from California and back and got a low of 25 mpg in a head wind and holding to 80 mph to a high of 35 mpg on the flat with no head wind and 75 mph.
 
I got my PT in 2002 and still love it. Take out the back seats and you can load a lot more into the car than I could in my old Cherokee. I have 17 inch rims and have lowered it by 2 inches in the front and 2.5 inches in the rear so it rides flat.

Considering PT Cruiser Unsure of Engine by moostang
Jan 04, 2006 (6:05 pm)
I am seriously considering buying a PT Cruiser convertible. I really like the new style and think the convertible style is so awesome! The only thing that concerns me is the engine. The engine seems to be kinda small for such a large vehicle. I don't want a huge car with a small get up and go. I have drove a Sebring before and was very disappointed at the engine size in that large car. Can someone tell me if the engine suits the car?

Electical problems!!! by carlah

JUST bought PT Cruiser and I'm having a whole host of ELECTICAL problems.
 
I've had it for only a week and 2 days.
 
I gave it back to the dealer after CLOCK WOULDN'T KEEP TIME
and I COULDN'T SHUT OFF THE HEADLIGHTS. the keys where out of the ignition and the dumby bell was sounding when I opened the door. I finally got it to go off when I put the key back into the ignition and turned slightly.
 
then I tried to open back door and THE REAL TAIL LIGHT FLASHED
 
then I COULDN'T GET THE DOME LIGHT TO WORK WITH THE DOOR CLOSED.
 
My car salesman told me they found a loose wire connected to the fuse box and they fixed it.
 
When I picked it up tonight, the service dept. told me that it still had the "fuse"? that the floor models have in them and that they where supposed to take that out when they sold me the car and switch it out.
 
Then on my way home in the dark I was listening to the sterio when it felt cold and noisey. I turned on the dome light to find that THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW HAD ROLLED ITSELF DOWN!!! i COULDN'T GET IT TO GO BACK UP.
 
After parking it and putting the key back in the ignition a few times, I was able to roll the window up using the rear seat window things.
 
I feel at this time that I want to return this "lemon" and get a car that isn't a Chrysler product.
 
I had a Dodge Shadow 92 that also had electrical issues that where never resolved.

Sounds like a bad body control module.

When will gas mileage improve by nelliebly
Jan 31, 2006 (6:53 pm)
My Mom bought a 2001 PT Cruiser new. It's got a whopping 2200 miles on it since.(82 years young!) I've not gotten great gas mileage when I've driven it to keep everything working right. I did 40 miles and used 1/4 tank. Shouldn't I do better than that? Or is it because we haven't broken it in yet? Suggestions?
