What are the most common engine issues with CRD?
Discussion in ‘ CRD KJ’s Section ‘ started by JeepCoMJ, Feb 17, 2013 . looking at a non-running 05 CRD tomorrow. I haven’t had my hands on one, so no experience. 140k miles, but towed behind a camper, so engine miles probably around 90k. Timing belt I imagine? issues bending/breaking valves, rockers, bridges?
Can a 2.8 CRD engine work on a 2005 Jeep?
By this I mean if you get one of the early Export 2.8 CRD engines up to 2004…..the engine with a fixed-vane turbo as appossed to the newer 2005/2006 2.8 CRD engine with a variable vane turbo….then this older 2.8 engine will work….you may need some ECU re-programming!

Can a 2.5 CRD engine be changed?
Click to expand… You can change your old 2.5 CRD engine with an old 2.8 CRD motor without much problems.
Is it possible to fix a seized piston on a CRD?
CRD has wet sleeves so even a seized piston is fixable. In my experience, miles still increase while being towed with the key in the “on” position even if the engine is off. you have to leave it in the “on” position while flat towing so that it can turn with the camper.
