Hello, I just purchased a 2005 CRD with 53K miles from CarMax. I drove it for a week and then noticed a burning smell and a bit of white smoke coming from the turbo, or the area around the turbo. This only happens after the turbo has been engaged and will disappear after the truck idles for a while. I took it back to CarMax who punted it to a Chrysler dealer, who in turn punted it to a Jeep specialist. They replaced the turbo (which was covered under the 7/70,000 warranty) but must not have driven it, because when I picked up the car and drove it all of 6 miles to work, the problem persisted. Has anyone seen anything like this? At first I thought that they left some grease on the turbo housing after the repair, but it appears that the quantity of smoke is the same. The truck is back at the jeep dealer, but I figgured I could lead them in the right direction if anyone has seen this before. Thanks!! |

I have a 2005 jeep liberty and my dad and i were trying to find the fuel filter but could not find it... Where is the filter located?? And by the way, is the fuel filter non-serviceable so that i never have to replace it?? Thanks. |

Hi all you Jeep Liberty owners, I am new to the forum and juat wanted to say Hi and to thank whoever started this up. I own an 04 2.5 CRD Sport with the VM engine and manual gearbox,had a problem with the transfer case postion sensor showing that I was in 4x4 high ratio part time when I was really in 2 high rear wheel drive. Thanks to Richard and a diagram sorted in minutes! I see some people giving the VM engine some bad press, let me say that over here in Europe ( UK ) we have had variants of these engines for many years and they really are stonking bullet proof motors, the real problem is the electronic emmission control crap that the makers are forced to hang on them so we can save the planet!

Replying to: andymcrey (Sep 01, 2008 6:17 am) Are you concerned or/and aware of the modification of the oil hoses running vertically along the right hand side of the 2.5 Ltr engine? I have the first generation of the 2.8 Ltr that's similar to yours. There is a kit with a large clamp for holding the rubber hoses and preventing them from getting loose after a few hours of tough riding. Do you go offroad or is it forbidden and regulated like on the continent? By the way, have you disconnected your EGR valve by plugging its vacuum tube? The newer rigs can't do it this way.
