    Case of the missing oil ?

    Jeeppower, when you drain the oil, let us know how much came out of the pan. Just curious.

    I feel you, Andy. It will feel and sound like it's breaking but it will come off.

    Case of the missing oil ?

    I would think that if it wasn't registering on the dip, you'd have an oil light.

    Rear turn signals

    Did exactly that the first time I pulled my taillight off because I couldn't pry it off the ball studs ( I was convinced that something was 'wrong' and if I pulled too hard it would break something). Put a crack in the light housing. While if it worked for you, coyote, bravo, but I wouldn't...

    Rear turn signals

    The tail light has what are called 'ball studs' in it. I am not a subscriber to the 'pull harder, not smarter' philosophy on anything, but this is a rare case where you need to do exactly this. Unscrew the torx screws, put them aside. Your taillight will be 'loose and wobbly' but won't come...

    Good sir! You DARE denigrate the awesomeness that was the Diesel Rabbit? What you see pictured above might just be one of the --nay-- THE finest pieces of Diesel engineering that ever swerved and belched its way onto American roads. Many a hair-scrunchied young cheerleader drove these...

    You are pardoned, my son. But... what's with the 10mpg? Just the hard driving?

    But he gains .025 mpg for the superior aerodynamics caused by its overall 'smooveness'. :cool:

    Hey, a man's gotta have a break from the damned Tapas once in a while. Besides, he was slumming it.... I'm sure. I'll bet when he got back to Barthelona he sat in the cafes, drinking coffee from teeny little cups while making fun of all things American.

    Ah. Now it makes sense. Being from Europe, I was surprised you would let something so tacky slip by... I mean, with your fancy cosmopolitain social mores, higher culinary standards and teeny little motorcycles with people in stylish sunglasses saying "Ciao!" to eachother...

    What's a bad seal in the turbo? Oh, it's a 'CRD thing' so I wouldn't understand. I also wouldn't understand "oil all over my hoses", "expensive thermostat replacement", "Hey! There aren't any waterpumps available" or my favorite: "I bricked my CRD when I flashed it!!!11!!1one!" leghump.gif

    3.7 > crd

    TBird, I haven't read through the whole thread yet, but are you saying that the 3.7 is superior to the CRD conceptually, or superior to it in a real-world functionality? If it's the latter, there's no dispute. When CRD owners on "Lost" even admit that owning a CRD is a 'love/hate...

    Tony, peel that little plastic protector sheet off your display. It drives me crazy when people leave those things on their electronics. Just a compulsive tic I have.

    All of your O2 sensors go hay wire?

    "The module" went bad? What "module"? The PCM? I'd be suspicious that 4 sensors when blooey all at once. I think some of the experienced mechanics here might be able to hip you to some other mechanical/electronic/evap/emissions failures that could cause secondary codes on the O2 sensors...

    KK gets new Jeep steering wheel

    I'm sorry, they are NOT their own company, end of story. And it does not require 51% stock ownership to maintain a controlling interest in a company. Hence, this rather inconvenient headline from US News: Chrysler Declares Bankruptcy; Agreement Puts Fiat in Control Now, there are...

    Dealership issues...

    I'm kinda with tjkj on this. I do believe the shop should have been more formal and less 'buddy/buddy' with you on the process, because the bill ain't buddy-buddy, it's real. But anytime someone starts removing major parts of the dash, the time and labor can add up fast, and $300 is probably...

    KK gets new Jeep steering wheel

    That wasn't my point. My point was that Fiat is exerting influence across the product line. Cross-polination will occur. Or as Austin Powers would say, there's some cross-mojination going on. However, it's entirely arguable that Fiat does own Jeep. (or has a controlling stake in it) To...
