From 2006 to 2010, Chrysler’s EGQ 4.0-liter V6 engine was manufactured at the Trenton facility and utilized in well-known models like the Pacifica, Grand Caravan, and Town&Country minivans. This power unit comes in a slightly more potent version with its own EMM index.
Internal combustion engines such as EER, EGW, EGE, EGG, EGF, EGN, and EGS are also part of the LH series.
The engine was installed on:
- Chrysler Pacifica 1 (CS) in 2006 – 2007;
- Chrysler Town&Country 5 (RT) in 2007 – 2010;
- Dodge Grand Caravan 5 (RT) in 2007 – 2010;
- Volkswagen Routan 1 (RT) in 2008 – 2010.

Disadvantages of the EGQ engine
This motor’s extremely small, frequently slagged oil channels cause liners and hydraulic lifters to deteriorate rapidly;
Throttle fouling and floating speed are caused by aggressive EGR operation;
Antifreeze leaks from beneath the pump gasket are another proprietary breakdown; exhaust valves covered in soot stop closing tightly.
