Replying to: siberia (Jun 19, 2009 8:49 am) Last week I cleaned the engine compartment for the first time  : this is my 150,000 Km service. I desperately checked for leaks and inspected the Boost Pressure Sensor. Since I disconnected the EGR (about 5 years ago) there is no soot on the sensor anymore. I have a slight diesel fuel smell after one hour of travel but no trace of leak around the engine. All injector connections were tight and dry. The only corrective action I had to take was to clean a 'solid' deposit that had formed inside the fuel filter bowl, under the heating element. This took me 15 minutes and one dozen Q-Tips

Replying to: jraguilar86 (Jun 09, 2009 3:38 pm) I'm new to this forum and also have problems with the EGR valve on my 2005 Jeep Liberty. At 50,000 miles the check engine light came on and there was a loss of power at low RPM. When the engine was cold there was almost no throttle response from a stop, then a huge power surge and an equally huge black cloud behind me. My local Jeep dealer (where I am employed) replaced the EGR and cleaned the system. Everything worked great until 68,000 miles. I now have the exact same problem. I have noticed on this forum that several people have disconnected their EGR valve. I talked to our technician about that and he said he could do it but that the check engine light would be on continually. Is there a way around that?

Replying to: farout (Nov 12, 2006 12:31 pm) Re engine light remaining on (after 3 warmups) If it is a glitch in the system, try this: Hold the mileage rest button in and turn the key to the stop before starting. You will see a self test occur with lights, and dials sequencing, and if a glitch, may cancet the engine light.. It worked on mine on a couple of occasions in the past. Not this time though, as I have a P1140 code, but have not tried all the suggestions mentioned above. Hope it cures your engine light on, problem. |

Hi, It's time to change the timing belt on my 06 CRD Liberty. The dealer quotes almost $900 in parts to do the job. In light of all the current problems at Chrysler, I'm looking for sources for parts for this engine. I'm open to any suppliers in the U.S. or Europe. Was this engine used by any other manufacturers? It is the 2.8L 4-Cyl. Turbo Diesel Engine (CRD). Any help would be greatly appreciate. Thanks! Dan

Replying to: ddvman (Aug 29, 2009 1:27 pm) You're being asked 1/2 of what I had to pay to have the work done at 60,000 miles, so welcome to Jeep's rich owners club  This morning I met a retired couple from Great Britain who got rid of their Liberty because of prohibitive cost of maintenance beyond 100,000 miles. They were looking at my CRD because their brand new Honda CRV had a problem and no parts were available yet on the continent. Sad but true, they have to drive 700 miles to get back home in a rental Fiat. The lady said she preffered the Jeep to the Honda. |

My white driving lights in the front grill of my 2005 2.8 crd don't work and I don't remember them ever working. I replaced the relay and pulled one of the bulbs and it ohm'ed out fine. Anybody else experience those lights not working? |

Cripes...I just learned something. They are not driving lights, they are fog lights. I thought they were marker lights that came on with the ignition. I read some posts and found out they are a switched light. The "half on, then pull" function of the switch got past me. So for two years I have driving "Little Bully" and didn't know he had functioning fog lights.

HOLY CRIPES... ok...so I read to clean the turbo sensor behind the fuel pressure sensor. It was totally easy and my milage jumped from 22mpg back up to 27.2 on a city 30 mile round trip doing errands. I should have known that because I would clean the O2 sensor on my Cadillac and the performance and mpg would jump back up. Now, I'm wondering what other sensor I can clean.?!?

Ok, Yall...here's the story on the oil light coming on at revs over 1,500 when cold. 88,000 miles and it was the sensor. Easy to replace. It's on the back side where the oil filter screws on and you have to take to skid plate off to get to it. The skid plate it's very simple with 4 bolts and a short 3/8" extension. The dealer had a sensor in stock for $65 bucks (I could have bought it cheaper on eBay.) I love this damn Jeep. I read a post by a european bragging about how "BULLET PROOF" these VM Mitori engines are and they drive them all over their continent for decades. Their only complaint it the government mandated crap on the exterior. Now... I know... that an oil sensor in not government mandated but 88,000 miles ain't bad. I have a set of tires that are rated for 60,000 miles and I remember back in the 60's when we couldn't make the whole damn car go 60,000 miles...lol...

Replying to: andrewjake (Nov 21, 2009 11:04 pm) That's funny! I did the same thing when I bought my CRD too. Okay, just to let you know, (cuz I had no clue) that when your fox lights don't work anymore... just replace the fuse. I had no idea that they were on the fuse.
