Replying to: CRD_Bullydog (Oct 30, 2009 8:04 am) I followed your recommendations and sure enough it stopped surging and no more smoke. As you said, the engine light has come on. One question, I still hear (when stepping on the throttle) a louder-than-normal air-rushing sound from around the turbo location. I heard that for the first time when it first exhibited the surging. Could there be a blown or slipping-off hose that would do that? What is a CAC hose? (as some one else suggested I look for) Also, will 15-40 Delo 400 been the cause of my problem? I've been using it for about 20K miles so far and I thought it is a good product????? Regards

Replying to: desmo750ss (Nov 03, 2009 10:01 am) The CAC hose(s) (Charged Air Coler) usually refers to the hoses from the pressureized/output side of the turbo going to the intercooler to the engine intake on turbo charged diesel engines. It may have popped off (doubtful) or inflated from excess heat and oil until it split (thus emits a hiss when pressurized). The intake air side hoses of the turbocharger are not this problem as it has been using clean air thru the air cleaner. These CAC hoses could be checked by any certified mechanic for free with a visual inspection and could be replaced easily. A split CAC hose reduces the amout of pressurized air from th turbo to the engine thus reducing power. They should be replaced very soon if damaged. The oil you are using would be ok for California year round driving on a 3K service interval. Hey make sure you mechanic cleans your MAP sensor when you take it for the CAC hose check. Aren't Turbo-Diesels Fun???

Replying to: hemiram (Nov 06, 2009 3:41 am) Just bought a Toyota Cami for my wife: it's ultra small, miniature for me, sub compact, has only 87HP and gives 23.5mpg. The Jeep is really not hard on fuel when you compare cherries and pumpkins

Replying to: hemiram (Nov 06, 2009 3:41 am) It is quite dependent upon weather and road conditions. |

My daughter drives my 06 CRD Liberty and loves it. Recently someone was tampering with the fuel cap and was wondering if anyone know if they can get a green locking cap. They have locking caps just no Diesel ones that fit the CRD model. Any suggestions. I want the green one to remind anyone else who may drive it that it need diesel. Thanks...
