  1. I really don't know the difference with the performance steering and suspension. Could be interesting to know!
  2. Look for 255/50/19 tires (original tire size is 225/55/19). Your speedometer reading will be 1% too slow... not so bad. A reading difference under 3% is ok. You can also look for 245/50/19. Speedometer reading will be 0.3% too fast, but you have less choice in this size.

    LED lights

    Driver and Passenger "Lower" LED lamps are the ones under the dashboard, for your feet.
  4. Wow, it looks great! Where did you buy them?
  5. You buy the oil and the filter, right? Keep the invoices.
  6. I think you can not swap them. The climate controls are in two pieces, it is not one piece like the radio.If you look at the picture, the rear climate control is one piece and the front climate controls are another piece (the piece includes the screen and the two buttons).
  7. I have something similar. But it is more a plastic rattle than metallic rattle. It doesn't happen all the time, and if I move the seat, it goes away. It is not a loud sound, but it is annoying. I didn't hear it during the winter, but last week, it was back. I'll have to investigate this soon. Should be something stupid, easy to fix...
  8. Are you talking about the 2 small boxes that come with the conversion kit or you had to buy a stabilizer separately to the kit?
  9. The VW DSG is made by BorgWarner and the Dodge DCT is a Getrag transmission. The V6 has the 62TE, an evolution of the 42TE (the 4 speed transmission that Chrysler uses since... long time!).
  10. The CRD comes with the 6-speed DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission). With the V6, it is a 6 speed, but not DCT.
  11. For the first one, this is normal. After this one, it should be between 5000 and 10000km.
  12. Did you need to put something special to bypass an error message from the computer and is it causing problems when you unlock the doors and the headlight comes on (illuminate approach)? It should be a lot brighter than the OEM lights!? Did you buy a kit from eBay (which one)?
  13. I'm planning to put HID soon. The DRL are on the high beam, so this is not a problem. The only thing that can cause a problem is the computer. On some Dodge, you need a module to bypass the computer and on some others, you don't need it.

    Planning to Buy

    In Canada, AWD is optional on SXT and R/T. It also comes with the 19 inch rims. Yes you can put 16 inch rims on the AWD version, but the bolt pattern has to be 5-127 and look if the offset is good.
  15. The 5 spoke wheels are aluminium ant the 6 spoke are plastic chrome (like the one at the top of the forum).
  16. Maybe because the tires becomes deformed due to the car weight (makes a kind of flat on the tire). When you take it for a ride, the tires take a little time to eliminate the deformation. Mabe I am wrong, it is only an assumption...
  17. Put silicone on the wires where it is attached and a cable tie (tie wrap) to limit the movement of the two cables. You'll see, there is a piece of plastic on the wires where they are attached to the frame (put silicone on them). Before doing this, if you want to make sure this is the source of the problem, sit in the car, close the door, and ask someone to move the wires at the place it is attached to the frame. If it is the same sound you are complaining about, this is the problem. I hope this will work for you!
  18. Look at the brake cables under the car, under the rear passenger door on the driver side. There is a place where they are attached to the frame of the car. In my case, it was the source of the squeak.
  19. I'm thinking the same thing!
  20. Didn't notice that. But I know that some Grand Caravan owner have the same problem.
  21. Last week, I was driving a little bit under 60MPH (93-95km/h) on the highway (with cruise control) and I was doing 30.9MPG (7.6L/100km)!!! And this is with studded winter tires! At 62.14MPH (100km/h), I get 26.13MPG (9L/100km). In average, it drops a lot (~20MPG).
  22. I would like to travel to Italy, home of Ferrari B)
