My 2006 Jeep Liberty CRD seems that it loss power driving a little fast for about 15 km, then slow in town and idle.
Then I took the highway for an hour or so and it became so weak I hardly get up hill so I kept holding it going down, up to 140 km/hr.
There is almost no black smoke coming out of the exhaust as it was a hole bunch before when pushing it a bit.
I took the air inlet hose off and checked the turbo. No end play but seems not to roll as free as it should be.
We put the OBDII on and not sure of the code but it said something about a lack of air admission at the turbo, or so.
Wonder if I should take the turbo off to check and what kind of a job this is.
I never done such a job. What kind of cost this implies ?
