Post subject:  New to me Jeep Liberty CRD - help with codes needed!
Hi there you lovely Jeep people!

I just picked up a 2005 Liberty 2.8 CRD. It's got 150k miles, and overall it seems to be very well maintained.
I have a couple of questions...

Unbeknownst to me at the time of purchase, it turns out the owner before the guy I bought it from had already gotten rid of the EGR and FCV. Upon reading here it seems that's actually a good thing.... BUT- I guess he didn't tune it, so now I have an EGR code and therefore a CEL.

Where do I start here? I have no tuning experience.. Can I still find and access a tune that gets rid of the codes? Or am I gonna have to "reverse-install" an EGR that I don't even have.... haha :shock:

Regardless... I'm gonna have to get rid of those codes one way or another.

Also - I'm obviously planning on getting the timing belt and water pump replaced, since I'm not taking any chances with that...
Is that tool kit necessary for that job? Even for a (diesel) shop? Trying to figure out if it's really worth the $150 for something that's most likely just gonna get done once.

Can't wait to see what you all have to say!
Thanks

As to a tune to get rid of DTC's for the EGR & FCV, there are some DIY tunes on this forum at:> DIY ECU Flash
or
Contact Marco Giacomelli ada "Yeti" on this forum. He can provide you with a custom tune to eliminate the DTC's and add a little extra power if you want it.
You can also find him over on FaceBook:> Yeti ChipTuning di Giacomelli Marco
He is the GOTO guy when it comes to tunes.... :wink:

The tools are necessary if you wish to do the job properly & not have problems soon after.
You can make them if you are good with that sort of thing.
Turn down a couple of bolts & join a piece of rod to a bolt.
I was going to make my own but a kit turned up for sale.
Probable some where on the site are the instructions to make the tools.

There used to be cheap (like $40) Chinese tbelt kits available online. Not something you'd want if you were using them regularly but for the DIYer who only needs them once every 5 years or so they are a reasonable alternative. Certainly better than going without. There also used to be places which would rent a tool set, with a deposit. I'd want to have something, at least the cam locking pins when doing this job.
