asking this because im wondering
is there a problem with turbos in crd kj
i know the person who had my kj before me didnt go much over 70 mph,seems to hold back when pushing it over 90 mph or even 85
is there something to do with turbo or what,

Could be wind resistance.

not the wind as did a test with a pajaro at same time with friend
was suggested maybe the turbo unit in early model crd's wasnt great,not sure if it help changing it as would cost few €€€€€€€€€€
read here before about this on this forum abot this,havent found the thread here yet,maybe few ideas there

There have been a couple of individuals with specific Turbo problems - replaced under warranty
It's not a general issue - and Jinstall's in Germany and regularly drives over 100mph - without problem
(although the mileage gets progressively worse the faster you go - aerodynamically it's a box)

other than that ,the crd is great at off roading ,havent had any problems[let me knock on some wood]
only thing i was thinking ,maybe the person who had before me who lived in a city,didnt do much driving ,didnt breakin at hight speeds,not looking for fast here,only if could,let it be comfortable at hight speeds overtaking and on motorway,not feel like its having hard time,

cheers
think who hasd crd before me ,didnt leave the city much so didnt do much motorway driving which i do couple times a weeek,wonder is it worth let a tech chech the turbo,reason i ask,seem like it has the power,but held back
could be wrong

do turbos need servicing,get my jeep serviced at dealers every second service as they not cheap and they didnt find any problems when serviced

The turbo doesnt need any special service that I know of. There are several things I would recommend to check. First is the MAP sensor it probably needs cleaned if you havnt done that yet. There are instruction in the CRD FAQ. Do you hear any excessive air noise from under the hood...especially during hard acceleration? I am thinking that perhaps you are losing boost somewhere. Perhaps a split hose or leaky intercooler?

Never cleaned the MAP sensor,where is it
only air noise i hear is acelerating/changing gears,Have K&N filter,,

Go the CRD Tech section, lots of info in there, also do a search for the word MAP

Its on top of the engine near the firewall. attached by one hex head bolt. I clean mine everytime I change the oil. The first time I cleaned it was at 28K and it was fouled badly. Not sure how the PCM was sensing boost. Cleaning it made a noticable difference in performance and fuel mileage.
