#28 of 59 Re: Oil and filter [xscout] by batista Sep 16, 2007 (4:33 pm)
Replying to: xscout (Sep 16, 2007 9:59 am) I purchase Quaker State Full Synthetic (10W30 is required for the 3.5L engine) and take it in to the dealer to change. Not sure who makes the Mopar oil filter but I have read that Wix is a good brand and Fram is one to avoid.

Replying to: adorunrunrun (Dec 02, 2007 1:12 pm) I hate to say this,but I think you got water in your intake and hydo locked your engine.This is when water gets into the cylinders and water cant compress so it locks up the engine ,which may have bent a rod.I wouldn't drive it because it may cause more damage.Get it towed and hope for the best.Good Luck.

#32 of 59 Re: Strange problem and cause by AFVet by afvet Jan 08, 2008 (3:49 pm)
A friend if mine retired and bought his company car, a 2006 Charger with the 2.7 v6 and 4 spd auto. A mechanic? told him that the 2.7 Chrysler v6 had an engine "blowup" problem caused by the coolant pump being located in the fuel tank and leaking coolant into the fuel, thereby ruining the engine. I have heard some off-the-wall things, but a coolant pump in the fuel tank?? Any of you fine fellers (or gals) heard about this one? Replies to this message: xtec (Jan 09, 2008 11:38 am)

Replying to: afvet (Jan 08, 2008 3:49 pm) I never heard that one,but the 2.7 has a history of sludge build up in their engine that will cause alot of engine problems.I read that the PVC system has a problem that cause the build up of sludge.The fuel pump is in the gas tank,but never heard of coolant in the tank,doesn't make sense.

#35 of 59 clicking in the engine by danb315 Jan 20, 2008 (9:40 am)
Has anyone ever heard a constant clicking in the engine while looking under the hood? I'm growing somewhat concerned. Replies to this message: xtec (Jan 21, 2008 2:42 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Jan 26, 2008 12:31 pm) brianj3 (May 22, 2009 7:23 am)

Replying to: danb315 (Jan 20, 2008 9:40 am) Why don't you go to a garage get a opinion,then take it to your dealer if there is something wrong?It could be anything making the noise.
#37 of 59 Re: question for anyone that can help with my engine [danb315] by batista Jan 20, 2008 (8:24 pm)
Replying to: danb315 (Jan 20, 2008 8:10 am) Which engine? 2.7L, 3.5L or 5.7L? The 5.7L has a tick that can be heard with the hood open. Not sure if you will get much help here. Chargerforums will be your best bet and if you search the forums in the problem section it is discussed quite a bit and sometimes the dealer will say its normal.
