#192 of 258 Re: Head Gasket on 2005 PT Touring Edition [jfuchs] by tedebear May 16, 2008 (1:31 pm)
Replying to: jfuchs (May 16, 2008 4:30 am) During my most recent oil change they told me that I had a blown head gasket. What I want to know is whether this is normal, has anyone else had this issue?   My wife has an 03 Cruiser with nearly double those miles and she's never had any problems with the head gasket. I don't think a blown head gasket at 40k miles is normal in any car.

Replying to: jfuchs (May 16, 2008 4:30 am) How did they come to this conclusion? Some of the symptoms of a blown head gasket are: engine over heats; mixture of coolant and oil in the cooling system; mixture of oil and coolant in the engine oil; or visible leaks where the engine block joins the cylinder head. If any of these conditins are present, then you MAY have a blown head gasket. Good luck.

Check engine light stays on. Checked the gas cap, put oil in yesterday, where do I find the code to tell me what the problem is. I have a 2006 pt Replies to this message: tedebear (May 28, 2008 3:07 pm)

Replying to: brains1 (May 28, 2008 2:21 pm) where do I find the code to tell me what the problem is.   Auto parts stores such as AutoZone used to scan your CEL for free in order to get your business. It's been a few years since I've had this done by them but I believe they still offer the free service.
#196 of 258 PT Cruiser won't always accelerate after I downshift by scott_a_ro Jun 01, 2008 (4:24 pm)
Hi,   I have a 2005 manual PT Cruiser with 25K. Sometimes when I downshift, it won't accelerate. I can push the gas pedal all the way in and nothing. Any ideas why it would do this?   Thanks, Scott
#197 of 258 engine hesitation-no check engine light by bspeebles Jun 03, 2008 (5:43 pm)
I have an 03 pt with 2.4 non-turbo and it seems to hesitate or surge while shifting from first to second or at least its most noticeable at that time. What can i do to fix this?
#198 of 258 Lose of Acceleration by jaball0 Jun 20, 2008 (8:06 am)
I have a 2006 PT Cruiser with an intermittent problem. About 2 or 3 times/week I lose all power. The car does not die and no warning lights are illuminated. The car continues to run but very rough. The accelerator ceases to function. Then after 1 to 2 minutes the car regains power. I have taken it to the dealership 3 times but they find nothing wrong with it. Apparently there are no error codes during the diagnostic. Last week this happened and I came close to being rear-ended by a tractor trailer. Has anyone else had this problem and/or know what is the cause?

#199 of 258 cooling problem by jabo3940 Jun 28, 2008 (3:47 pm)
we have a 2007 pt cruiser.bought it in febuary08 with 32000 miles on it.now it has 37000 miles.two weeks ago it started pushing the coolant into the plastic jug,but it wont recover it,then of course it starts spitting it out of the jug.after it pushes enough out of the radiator into the jug,of course,it tries to run hot.i changed the thermostat just hoping that was the problem...it wasnt.i'm all but positive its the head gasket leaking.after it sits for a short time,when you first start it up,it misses for about 10 seconds.kinda like it has a little water on the top of the pistons,which would be a head gasket.has anyone else had this problem?

Replying to: jaball0 (Jun 20, 2008 8:06 am) My 2006 PT Cruiser Route 66 edition is doing exactly what you described in this post. It has being having this problem on and off for a few months now and the dealer has not been able to find a fault. Today the problem was so severe that the car loss all power, including steering, causing me to nearly have a car accident. As I drive long distances everyday on the motorway I now feel like its too unsafe to drive. Please let me know if you find out what is causing the problem!

Replying to: ellz (Jul 14, 2008 1:56 am) Mine did the same thing and it was the internal turbo charger. The dealership fixed it about 6 months ago and it was working great, but it has started happening again. Replies to this message: scott_a_ro (Jul 15, 2008 11:54 am)
