| Post subject: | looking at a CRD |
Hey guys I'm looking at an 06 Liberty CRD with about 60000 miles on it, I don't know much about diesel engines but after looking over the CRD noob guide I have a few questions about this Jeep. Sounds like the main things to do if I were to get it are change the air & fuel filter, clean the MAP, check the hoses, & change the oil. Is there anything I need to look for & check when I go to take it for a test drive? From what I've read the TC is not very strong on these, is that something I would have to replace? I like the idea of having a 4x4 for the snow that gets good MPG but I don't want to buy the Jeep if I'm going to have to put a bunch of money into it in repair bills down the road. What is the average cost to get the timing belt replaced at 100K miles? Sounds like that is a big deal also. It would be used to get around & tow a small boat now & then so I wouldn't be planning to do any modifications to it. They are asking about $13,000 does that sound like a fair price for it? Thanks guys! |

If its a one owner it may still have a powertrain warranty for $150 to transfer its not bad insurance. I would check the turbo lines for leaks my had them at 62000. |

jwhite85 see viewtopic.php?f=5&t=65134 including all the links in that discussion. Comments: 1. never mind 2 owners as the 06 warranty was only 3/36. 2. $13k - I'm not currently up on values but given what I paid for my current 05 and what we paid for stoudog's 06 that doesn't sound unreasonable. Keep in mind though that there is a difference between models (Sport vs Limited - ours are the latter) and what options are on the vehicle (ours have most everything except GPS and heated seats). 3. the 1s gen TC on early 05s was very weak but it's a virtual certainty all of those were replaced under warranty. The 2n gen TC is ok as long as you don't subject it to a GDE hotter tune or the GDE turbo. Will do fine with GDE EcoTune. 4. timing belt needs doing at 100k miles but you can plan for it and that's cost for any diesel engine with a timing belt. Cost range is hard to give you as it runs from a DIY belt only replacement costing $75 (an easy 5-6 hr job with the right tools which can be rented from GDE unless someone near your location has tools and time to help) for a Gates belt all the way to ca. $1,500 for a garage to do replacement of all the idler pulleys, belts, and water pump. The key difference is you have to have the belt done as belt failure is expensive (takes lifters with it) but the other items are less critical and if bearings are solid may not need doing until 200K even though doing them at 100k is ideal. |

The one I'm looking at is a Sport model, being an '06 will it have a 2nd gen TC then? Thanks for the help! |

Unless someone paid extra to have a Euro TC installed the answer is yes. |
