Calling all 2007 WK diesel CRD owners!

[DarwinDave]

Hi all ,

had this trouble last Friday, engine just stopped in middle of road in peak morning traffic. Had to coast to inner lane and block one complete lane of the road.
Rang Jeep assist and they said thaey would send help out to tow. After about 15minutes and a few trys to start (motor would turnover but not fire) it decided to start. Phoned Jeep assist again and they asked if I thought that I could get to the dealer. The engine light on the dash was on (whilst motor was running) and it was orange. Jeep assist advised that it was OK to drive while it was orange but if it changed to red, stop immediately. Anyhow made the dealer and after a check out they advised that it was the crankshaft sensor. They replaced it under waranty (35,000 kms) and WH is now runnibg lika a clock with what appears a better mileage.

Cheers to all

I had the same problem on my 2007 CRD... highway speed... then nothing. No recall, just a TSB. Lovely. Here... let me get my wallet out for you... just take what you want.

This has not happened to my 3.0L TD ... yet; however, I have significant oil loss.

The Dealer says this is coming from a faulty "Turbo Tube". There has not been a recall issued but a bulletin has been issued about a month ago.

I hope this fixes my oil leak. SmoothBore, you might want to check the turbo tube and turbo seals. I leak about a litre of oil between each fuel fill up currently and leave a giant oil slick wherever I park.
