If you blow a turbo hose you will know it as you will have no power.
 
You may be hearing a little more noise as the turbo may be winding up a little more with the MAF disconnected.

This truck is rated 22mpg in Europe; I've been getting this mileage for 6 years now.
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

I got 26.3 out of my last tank and 20.4 out of the tank before.
It is quite dependent upon weather and road conditions.

Fuel Cap by nicku812

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...

Unfortunately there are no green locking gas caps for the CRD. If you look at the inside of the filler door, it says "Diesel fuel only". I suppose you could paint the cap green.

Just wanted to let you know that I had the exact same problem with surging and smoking just this past Sunday. I looked at your post and saw that pulling the MAF helped, so I tied it because I knew I shouldn't drive it far in that condition. Then, I also had the sound of rushing air, but with some loss of power. The advice to keep the MAF unplugged for a few weeks just didn't sound right as most of the sensors are designed to work together. So I called my dealer and explained the probem and the first response was a booster hose. Took it in this AM and sure enough, the hose had a 4" gash. They replaced the hose, plugged the MAF back in, and its again running like a top.
 
I have had very little trouble with my CRD and I think engine wise, other than the above, just a bad glow plug. If you can get service from a dealer that understands the product, problems are almost non-existant. I have several dealers closer to me than where I go for service. The place I go to is in a smaller "farming" area and sells a lot of diesel trucks, so working on diesels is second nature to them. I even go there routine oil changes and such.
 
At times, I look around a these posts and really can't believe all of the gripes people have. The Liberty CRD was a very limited production vehicle over two model years, which was a well known and advertised (by Chrysler) fact. So one would have to assume--like computer software--version 1 is not going to be perfect.
 
I'm hitting about 60K now and can't imagine not having my CRD. It was, in 2005, about the cleanest diesel on the road, gets better than advertised mileage, has the pulling power of a much larger vehicle, and real four-wheel drive to boot. An on top of that, it has never not started and run for me, even when having the above problem, I could count on it to run.

Fog lamps not working by fred_blogs
Nov 15, 2009 (11:31 am)

Hi, I have an 02 European Cherokee (Liberty) and the front fog lamps aren't working. I've checked the fuse and that seems OK, I've also checked one of the bulbs and that seems fine too. My questions are:
 
1. If one bulb blows does that mean both lights won't work? If so, I'll check the other one too.
2. Are there any common wiring faults I should be aware of?
 
The rear fog lamps works OK. We are having Autumn fogs here in the UK so any help will be much appreciated.

I think that there is a relay that runs the lights. On the 05 it is on the drivers side wall.
