I'll second that. It's not a light. It just identifies the type of instrument cluster. I have seen it 'light up' and in some circumstances, you're right it looks lit.

Fust,
- I paid an equivalent amount without replacement of the water pump.
- My two aluminum a/c pipes were rubbing against the steel structure above the radiator because they haven't removed the shroud to do the service.
- The engine was making much more rattling noise after this service and I had to get a new battery then recently another alternator.
 
Now the truck runs fine, but I spent nearly 3,000 USD to keep it going since January 2008.
 
Farout: do you read this?

Why did they want to replace the water pump?

They said that by replacing the water pump now it would save on labor because you basically have to remove the belt again to replace the pump and there would be no extra labour charges if done know , the cost of the water pump was $350.00.Not sure if it worth the risk,has anyone replaced there timing belt and water pump at the same time Thanks.

How many miles do you have on your CRD?
I have 128000 on the stock fan and timing belts.

Can you guys imagine that Chrysler / Jeep impose to change the timing belt at 60,000 miles here? Automobile manufacturers in the EU consider maintenance as a source of pension
Asian manufacturers are doing well because of a different consumer approach. We will soon see which attitude survives.

Caribou1: Yes French Friend I did indeed read your post. I read these post's often. I feel bad so many of you have experienced the high dollar repairs. OUCH, that just gota hurt bunches!
 
I kinda kept up on resale value of the CRD in the NADA book. The CRD has taken a big hit. But in all fairness every vehicle in the auto auction have taken a dump. Our son has a used vehicle dealers buyers permit for the big auctions. Heck our 2007 Chrysler pacifica AWD Touring is worth about 1/2 half of what we owe on it. The huge difference between the Pacifica and the CRD is we really like the Pacifica and the low cost of keeping it up. We consistently get 22 to 25 mpg and with 28,700 miles it is perfect for us. Gasoline here is $1.69 a gallon and diesel is $ 2.65 so that is one thing I don't miss is the extra money for diesel. How is the price there?
 
The economy is a scary thing here for a good number of folks. Unless the "Big Three" get some $ real soon I think we are headed for deeper financial troubles, that most likely spread to many other countries. When dealers can't finance the cars to put on the lots, and buyers are less likely to be able to get financing that means real trouble. Even with the US giving the $ for the big three, unless people can get $ to purchase the vehicles the Big Three will be dead in the water. I am glad I don't earn a living selling vehicles!
 
Hows the economy in France? Hope you and yours are doing well.

Hi farout,
We're in the same mess
I try to buy stuff ahead of time because good things are getting scarce. Less $, less offer, less customers, and what happens when you're missing a replacement part? You're stuck.
As we discussed a long time ago on this forum, automobile parts are common and are made everywhere. If the big three don't survive, we all loose.
 
Someone made the following comment today:
- The Chinese replaced their bicycles by automobiles,
- In Paris, the mayor is replacing our automobiles by bicycles
