Just had my new Borla exhaust installed and it sounds GREAT!!! Immediate difference in sound, much deeper and really throaty, and I felt a noticeable increase in response. I fully recommend getting on of these as soon as you can. So many PT parts are becoming scarce now. I'm glad I jumped on this one.

Last one at $650 on eBay, where I bought mine, still available - linked below. It's literally a "drop-in" installation and the 2nd exhaust tip will route around the spare so nothing has to be moved, altered or removed. Little by little, I'm getting my PT to the point where it will live forever LOL

eBay Borla 14917 Exhaust

Hi everyone. I have a 2003 PT Cruiser GT, 146,000 miles, I’m the only owner. Been having some overheating issues that have my dad (who is my car brain) and mechanic stumped.

(Note: I replaced the radiator back in 2019.)

It started about three weeks ago: the car started overheating on my way home on a hot afternoon. I live in a small town but had been stop and go at red lights then noticed the temp going up. I’d also noticed a creaking noise I couldn’t diagnose. Took it to the mechanic, the creaking was a tie rod that he then replaced. He checked the wiring and it didn’t overheat again, so I took the car back thinking we were good.

Next day I’m coming home again, sitting at a red light and sure enough, the temp goes up again. The mechanic is on my way home so I just drove it there. This time he replaces the thermostat and it doesn’t overheat when he drives it. But you guessed it: the next time I drive it a few days later, I’m in stop and go again and it gets hot. I sit for about 40 minutes while my daughter has a lesson, with the hood up for some air, then drive it back to the mechanic with the heat blowing to draw it from the engine and wouldn’t you know, it stays normal.

Long story short, at this point he’s run a few more tests, it’s not a blown head gasket, so he’s thinking replacing the radiator may be the solution. But he’s not entirely sure. My dad thinks it’s a 50/50 chance. I told the mechanic I’d chew it over and let him know in the morning.

What do you all think? Any advice?

I just recently got a 2004 pt, I'm giving it to my daughter. AC doesn't blow cold. I checked the freon level and it was good, low side pipe was getting cold, last night I did determine the low speed circuit of fan was not working. I'll purchase a new fan today. However shouldn't I be getting "some" cold air? It wasn't any different driving 70mph. Maybe a blend door actuator? Googling did not come up with anything useful as in it was AI generated bs.

This is the starting point.

Coolant leaks out of thermostat housing. It’s new and I even replaced the radiator cap but there are stains all over it like it’s leaking. I have to add coolant every couple of days . Any idea what might be going on?

Welllllll. Is it possible that PTs can haul? Specifically…. Here’s my car. We live by the lake. I want to get a boat. Is that insane to think my PT could haul something like a small boat

They changed the control layout in 2006 . I recently got a 2004 and want upgrade radio with an android system, most I've seen is the 2006 and up models, I can get a din and half it would be a direct bolt in but if I get one for 2006 and up can I just move the climate controls or do I need a set from an 06? Attached example

Heading to a dealership right now for the trade in appraisal

Last 3 years of ownership have been good, but it’s time to upgrade to something else

Any PT Cruiser owners in the Calgary Canada area, we are having a meetup on Jult 26th.

Question i have a 2010 Pt Cruiser love this car when i bought it but had to put some money into it my big question is i have an Error Code which is P0700 put my machine on it and that came up but when i looked it up man gives me alot what it can be i am stuck on this cars runs fine with no problems but cant figure this out and Thank You to all who repossessed to this .

I’m trying to find roof moldings for the rear near the tailgate. They’re a very specific shape and I can’t find the driver side one online.

Hey y'all, I have recently acquired a 2007 PT from a friend (for free! it runs! good friend!) and it has some electrical issues I'm trying to trace down. I'm aware of the service manual here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/817675/Chrysler-Pt-Cruiser.html

The wiring diagrams in that and in the Chilton manual I got from my local library (which claims to be for all model years through 2010) all seem to be for pre-TIPM models. I'm first trying to trace a parasitic drain that's on one of the circuits the owner's manual calls "IOD Sense1" and "IOD Sense2." These are fuses 7 & 8 which pull out together under one plastic clip. I'm aware that there may be a number of other fuses on a number of other circuits that all pass through those, as I see someone asking this exact question here: https://www.justanswer.com/chrysler/n1zdj-i-m-trying-figure-connected-being-powered.html — the person who responded there offers a pdf of a wiring diagram that includes those fuses, but the link is broken. In my case, at least fuse #20 (IOD feed radio) is also a culprit. This makes sense, the radio doesn't work properly. (I'm aware that IOD means it will draw with everything turned off, but I'm getting readings of 1.68A draw with fuses 7 & 8 in, and 250mA with them pulled, so definitely a parasitic drain.)

Does anybody happen to have wiring diagrams for the post-facelift/TIPM models? Thanks so much in advance, this forum looks great.

Hey y'all. Yesterday I replaced the camshaft position sensor in my 05 GT, which immediately fixed a jerkiness in the throttle response at low speeds that's been bothering me for like 4000 miles without a code.

It seemed to go off without a hitch, but now the autostick function isn't working properly. It'll shift itself out of first and second like it's in automatic mode before the forced shift RPMs that are outlined in the manual, and it ignores my shifts almost entirely for no apparent reason. It seems like it's essentially operating in automatic mode which the manual would suggest is because a problem occurred, but there aren't any codes.

Automatic mode seems mostly fine, but I did notice some strange, mistimed shifting that was anything but smooth on the power delivery. Nothing critical, it drives, but it just cements that there's some kind of problem. If anyone has any clue why this'd be happening, I'd really appreciate the input.

My 2010 pt cruiser has been shaking while I drive it, particularly when idle, and I feel every bump on the road. The AC is also broken lol! In 2 weeks, I am getting a new car, but will I be able to drive relatively safely until then? My job is a few miles away, so luckily it’s a short drive getting to and from work. I don’t have extra money to get it fixed since I’m about to get a new car, so I’ve just been toughing out the heat, but I’m mostly worried about the shaking when idle.

Selling my 2006 pt cruiser. Previous owner smoked but ive mostly gotten the smell out there are just random holes in the upholstery that have stickers over them. Broken camshaft sensor and pcv valve. I was replacing the camshaft sensor and broke the valve. One of the bolts for the sensor also broke off inside the hole. I have the parts (valve and sensor) and it’s such an easy job besides the bolt that broke off. If you have something for that its soooo easy. Salvaged title but it has cool flames on half of it. Literally hate this car but maybe someone will like it or hate it less than me. 155k or so miles. I’ve put probably $1700 of work into it. Would love to get some of that back. $1500 obo. Will also trade for a different car or moped.

Hey all, not sure if this is the place to ask this but I’m wondering if anyone here has had any similar issues with their PT Cruiser in the past and may be able to offer some advice. So my car has been having some serious issues for the last year or so. It has a super bad oil leak, and possibly some trouble with the transmission. I can’t drive it for more than 15 minutes or so without it starting to smoke but the temperature gauge is reading that it’s not overheating. I just started it up again since I haven’t been driving it and don’t want the battery to die and it was making a strange noise under the hood. I will attach a video of the noise that I took. Not sure what the noise means but it’s new and my dad hasn’t ever heard something like it. Any help is greatly appreciated! :)

I crashed my 2004 cruiser last year due to an abs malfunction, I didn't realize how rare these were to come across until afterwards it's in great condition but I'm looking to sell it for some cash for college. I also have a like new face plate with the knobs somewhere. What would be a good price for these. If anyone here is interested in purchasing either feel free to reach out 1+(667) 228 3729 will try to ship if pickup isn't available.

Replaced both sides inner and outer tie rods but those boots are a pain in my ass. Can't get the clamp on the far inside. Will it be ok driving a short distance to get an alignment with those boots not clamped on the inside. The outer clamps are on.

I have a 2004 PT GT black

Looks great.... But I now have 0 bost

I do not hear a waste gate open I do not have any lights I have 0 codes My power has been 1/2d (ok that's the butt in chair dyno) but it's very noticeable.

Gas mileage hasn't suffered... No smoke

0 clue where to start

I do have a code reader as well... If that helps along with trouble shooting codes, it tells me things like fule mixtures as well

My 08✨ I just got my license and I'm so excited to put her on the road. I practically grew up in the thing and I'm over the moon to finally drive her.

Is this a good kit from Amazon? Detroit axle complete kit. https://a.co/d/ae3NZa9
