Glowplugs are available in Europe, the same 7V glowplugs the Jeep uses. I purchased one from Italy a year or so ago, still going strong. Bosch no longer makes the glowplug originally supplied by Jeep, but it is easily available aftermarket. I paid less than $25 delivered for the one I got...

You are of course most welcome. It sounds like you have your cooling problem solved, and it is hard to imagine all that gunk in the radiator. It is a guess and nothing more, maybe it is from left over casting sand, a wad of paper packing that dissolved over time within the cooling system...

I don't mean to tell you the water pump is bad, but.. if the coolant/antifreeze is low, it will pump better when revved up a bit.. At idle they overheat due to the pump's inability to effectively circulate water at lower revs, when there is too much air space at the impeller. This is not...

To check the electric fan, observe that it is spinning fast when you have the A/C on, I am pretty sure it comes on with the A/C. The clutch fan can be checked by shutting the engine down when fully warmed up, as when you return from a drive somewhere; with the engine off you reach into the...

The electric fan is supposed to assist the mechanical fan when you are in that situation. Also, if the clutch fan is worn enough to not properly drive the fan in that high temp situation, it will do that very thing. It all comes down to not enough air passing the radiator. I would check...

I guess mine is the old man of the group, it has 135K on it now, and the wife drives it to work daily right now, if only temporarily. It runs like it always did, I drove it to town last night, about ten miles one way to get an ice cream at Dairy Queen. I continue to be impressed with that...

Yes replace that pulley. I purchased mine from an ebay vendor, but you can get it at the Jeep dealer too. It is best to use a pneumatic impact wrench to remove and install it. They do have special tools for it but it was easy with an impact wrench and the proper Allen socket. My pulley...

It does have an oil cooler, located against the block on the right side down below the turbo and behind the water pump. That should be your trouble. It looks like a tough job to remove and replace it. The factory service manual describes it in detail, and hopefully you can view that manual...

It would more likely be a failed oil cooler. Many heavy truck engine oil coolers fail in this manner, I would look closely at that to begin with. Now to be honest, I am not certain we have an oil cooler, but usually turbo diesels do have an oil cooler, so if this one does, look closely at...

My CRD pulls mine fine, no temp problems in Florida's summer heat. However, it did heat up once while pulling my enclosed trailer climbing a steep bridge over the St John's River in Jacksonville. My problem was my mechanical fan clutch. I replaced that with a new one from the dealer, cost me...

I purchased a set from Ebay UK recently, though I have not used them yet. I plan to use them in the not too distant future on another CRD in the family. I paid about $125 delivered I think it was, somewhere in that range. I purchased mine from a vendor called The Tool Acadamy Ltd. I found a...

You don't say which fuse is blowing, and the FSM lists a few for the radio system. That manual also breaks the wiring down according to which trim package you have. It lists Premium system for instance, and those fuses have numbers. Once we determine which numbered fuse is actually blowing...

I did a simple google search for that part number, and typed Fuel Pump after the number. I found many places, some here, some out of the country listing that part number with info on purchasing it. Try one of those sites and see what you can find out. Mopars-Only

Does it cool good while sitting idling and during deceleration? If it is not cooling well while under mid to full throttle but cools good otherwise, you coulc have a bad clutch fan. When the turbo is in a boost situation the heat from the heat exchanger makes cooling the A/C condenser...
