Chrysler Crossfire LHD Service Repair Workshop Manual PDF
VEHICLE/EQUIPMENT INTRODUCTION:
The Chrysler Crossfire was a two-seat sports car produced from 2004 through 2008 as a collaborative project between Chrysler and Mercedes-Benz, sharing the Mercedes C230 Kompressor platform shortened to a 2400mm wheelbase. The Crossfire was manufactured by Karmann in Osnabruck Germany utilizing Mercedes-Benz W203 C-Class underpinnings, drivetrain components, and electrical architecture with Chrysler-styled body panels crafted by Eric Stoddard. This transatlantic engineering partnership produced a uniquely positioned vehicle that combined German precision chassis engineering with American sports car styling philosophy.
The LHD or left-hand drive variant was the primary market configuration sold in North America and continental Europe. All Crossfire models feature a front mid-engine rear-wheel drive layout with the engine positioned behind the front axle line for optimal weight distribution approaching the ideal fifty-thirty weight balance. The 3.2-liter M112 V6 engine sourced from Mercedes delivers 215 horsepower through the AMG-engineered five-speed automatic transmission with Touch Shift manual override or the six-speed manual transmission with automatic overdrive.
The Crossfire chassis incorporates a multi-link independent rear suspension derived from the EVO-K platform combined with double wishbone front suspension, four-wheel disc brakes with ESP electronic stability program intervention, and speed-sensitive variable-ratio steering rack. The distinctive reverse-hinged clamshell hood and dual exhaust tips integrated into the rear fascia contribute to its muscular proportioned design language.
