I haven't had a chance to look at my wife's Liberty yet but she was on her way to work this morning. She said as she was driving there was a whine and a pop. The jeep still runs but she says as she drives it there is a whine to it and sounds like a jet engine. Any ideas for me to look for when I get home? |

I would agree that it is a boost hose. The same thing have happened to me, loud whistling noise then a pop, followed by poor performance and a small trail of black smoke. |

got home and took off all the hoses - cleaned and inspected them - no rip or tears and all hoses were fitted tight. I put everything back together and got out onto the road. Drove it normal - got on it hard, Nothing. went out with the wife driving around and eventually started to hear a slight whine but I cannot tell where it is. It seems to run fine and has lots of power. I'm gonna be pounding my head on this one. |

What makes you think it is the turbo? Most failures are either it pumps oil into the exhaust, or it has too much play on the shaft. |

Drove it the next morning and you can here it whine up and then like it locked up. Whine up and lock up after that was a sheet metal rattle combined with a horrible bearing growl and lots of smoke out the tail pipe. Limped it back home and parked it. Horrible timing to lose a major component ( not that is ever a good time ) been cleaning and fixing up a rental for friend after work but now wife and I are down to 1 vehicle now. |
