Hello,
New member here, I'm posting for my cousin who is too busy to ask the questions so I'm helping him out.
He has a 05 CRD 2000 miles ago his wife blew the turbo. Turbo, hoses, glow plugs & fuel injectors were replaced or rebuilt, $5000 later the Jeep has been running great, he's cresting a hill at 70 mph and the motor loses power and starts vibrating like crazy, no banging or metal sounds, he shifts into neutral and coasts to side of the highway and has it towed.
Vehicle just turned 100,000 miles I'm assuming it's the timing belt since it wasn't replaced ( I know
) and after some research worst case scenario all the rockers need to be replaced too? CRD has new tires, brakes, battery and is excellent condition. He loves the CRD too! Just wish he loved it enough to know service info.
The big question! Should he repair it? Estimated cost w/labor vs trying to do ourselves. Or try and sell the CRD as is? What do you guys think it value is as it sits?
Thx in advance!
Joe
