Hello!
I am a newbie to this forum and am having an issue with the fuel filter on my Jeep Liberty 2006 CRD 2.8 liter turbo Diesel. We were having an issue on the highway where the engine was surging and losing power. We tried pumping the primer to get rid of any air but did not loosen the bleeder valve ( as oer the jeep instructions) This did not help , but we noticed diesel was leaking from the heater sensor and I want to know if this means I have to get a new filter head or is there a seal that can be replaced? Does anyone have an Idea if this leak could have been present before and causing the air to come into the system?
Thanks for any help!!
This is a common problem on our Jeeps. Its caused by the plug/housing on the filter head melting allowing air into the system which causes all kinds of problems like limp mode which from the sounds of it, happened to you. Happened to me too. Ordered a new head assembly from a dealer on ebay. Changed it out in about 20 min and no problems since.
