Well, got the CRD in the dealer again. The tech had mentioned he couldnt believe the amount of oil in the intake. He also called another Dealer who's tech had the simaler problem, Just had a new EGR, and Mix Valve and a few months later same trouble codes with a TON of oil in the intake. Well at first STAR blamed it on the aftermarket airfilter, he had like a STP I believe so just a standard paper filter, Tech at the other dealer called that BS.
Of course STAR said replace the EGR but then my tech questioned there logic on that, saying isnt this just going to keep happenning with that much oil in the intake?
STAR said check the CCV valve, but to check it, you have to break it. LOL Great but no big deal cause he can get the part tomorrow. Oh, it was working perfect btw.
STAR is CLUELESS and they HAVE NO IDEA why so much oil is getting to the intake and failing the EGR.. My tech and the tech at the other dealer both agree that the excess oil is whats causeing the EGR issues. The tech said he will replace the CCV valve, and if STAR doesnt get him any info back hes going to get a new EGR on there just so I can drive it. And also said he would gladly keep replacing it until STAR cameback with a permanent fix.
So DC knows theres a problem, but just doesnt know how to fix it?
Having the same argument right now. Already running a Provent that has elimated the CCV as the source of my oil. Only other source is the turbo seals, can't get them to replace the turbo. STAR's response is oil in the CAC is "normal" and that 1qt/1000 miles would be normal oil consumption. Got into it with DC customer service today concerning this matter. May be "normal" but totally unacceptable for this motor to be sucking oil. Also asked if I could skip the clueless Jeep dealer and go straight to Detroit Diesel, someone who know diesels. They told me STAR would not authorize a DDA shop to to warranty work on this engine, only a Jeep dealership. And yes, it is causing the EGR failures. This is likely going to become a Lemon Law case over this.
