Chrysler Repair: XXZ Option on the EGR Valve, air pollution minimization, dodge grand caravan


Question
Hi, I have a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan.  When I went to get it inspected I was told that my EGR valve needs to be replaced.  When I went to get the part I was asked if my van has the XXZ option.  I have no idea how to find out.  I was told that it would be on the sticker, but I bought the car 2 years ago, and I did not keep the sticker.  Thanks!

Answer
Hi Jeannie,
One idea to pursue is that this part is part of the air pollution minimization system which should be covered under the warranty required by the Federal Government. So I would suggest checking out if that is not the case with a dealer, and by the way the dealership will have access to the manufacturing specifics of your van in the computer records maintained by Chrysler. I hope you can get it fixed with no cost to yourself.
