I have a 1997 Sebring Convertible. Engine is currently at 152,000 miles and still going strong.
When the engine needs an overhaul. The chain will last the life of the engine.
American Patents last for 20 years. Chrysler came out with the Hemispheric combustion chamber in the 1950s.
The last Chrysler LeBaron was in 1995. Both engines available that year had timing belts.The last Chrysler LeBaron was in 1995. Both engines available that year had timing belts.
It should last the life of the engine. Which should be over 300,000 miles.It should last the life of the engine. Which should be over 300,000 miles.
No, the timing chain is designed to last the life of the engine. It is normally replaced when the engine is overhauled.
300k if you maintain it.
i have replace the thermostat, checked the fans,filled with water and it is still overheating. Very often, the waterpump leaks and stops working only years after it was last replaced. Coolant is probably not flowing from the engine to the radiator to be cooled.
It can last the life of the vehicle. But it can be destroyed by an engine not running properly in a very short period of time.
it just means that the battery has been disconected within the last 50 starts
Thanks for the joke. My question was serious, because my wife wants to buy a used Mini Cooper, and I heard that Chrysler makes their engines. My last Chrysler sucked, mainly because it had a MITSUBISHI engine in it, so I don't trust either company to make a reliable engine for the mini.
Never, it is designed to last the life of the engine and is normally replaced when the engine is overhauled.
supposed to be 105,000 miles i would do it at like 90,000 to be safe, because it is an interference engine and if the belt brakes you will need a new engine.
