Grey smoke - lots of it!
I hope someone can help as it's driving me to distraction. I have a 2005 KJ 2.8 CRD. It loses water slowly but I've never found out why.

2.8 CRD Cherokee KJ overheating when A/c on

Black smoke? Just a bit!
Hi everyone. A very Merry Christmas to all. I posted on here some time ago that upon start up my KJ 2.8CRD was producing a lot of white smoke for the first few minutes.

Steam (white smoke) on start-up - Cherokee (Liberty) 2.8CRD
Hi there. I have just joined so I apologise if this subject has come up before. I bought this vehicle last Autumn and one of the first things I noticed was that it didn't have antifreeze, so I drained it and refilled with a -25C antifreeze - I am in southwest France and even in January it...- John Todd
