Dodge Challenger Australia

The Dodge Challenger was Chrysler's response to the Ford Mustang. Though never sold in Australia due to being left-hand drive-only ex-factory, many have made their way here via low-volume importers and converted later on.

However, the Mitsubishi Scorpion-based 1978-83 Mk2 (sold in Australia), were smaller, four-cylinder Toyota Celica rivals. In 2008, the Challenger returned to its Pony Car roots, riding on the Mercedes-derived Chrysler 300C platform, once again bringing V6 or V8 choices.

  • Mitsubishi Challenger diesel acceleration problems

Take the vehicle to a diesel specialist. The cause could be dozens of things from fuel-pump wear, a dirty fuel filter, a clogged intake manifold, blocked lines and worn fuel injectors. And more.
