[QUOTE=Irie;1632944]Thanx for replying. Yes. I think this is a great forum. Been here many times before I signed up.

Before I continue. How can I get a hold of a sevice manual for my JEEP? I have searched for many hours. Does anyone here got one for sale or to download.

Haha, ok. Ill try greatlakesxj.com and will do better on pics. Sorry about that

I doubt the great lakes site can help as the diesel XJ was never sold in the USA.
You should be able to purchase on ebay a manual on CD that includes the diesel. Thats what I did years ago.

AND when i bought IT 2-3 y ago the horn "beeped" everytime I locked the door. The "beep" is now gone. NOT a big issue (the door lock works) but I just thyought I inform u all about that.

Damn. Maybe its the diesel filter

Ok for the horn beep when unlocking.. read up in the owners manual you can turn the horn beep on or off when using the remote central locking .. from memory think its like holding the lock button down for ten secs to activate or deactivate the twin beep of the horn

The diesel fuel filter has the writing upside down in your pic but you cannot install it upside down the filter screws on only one way and the water catchment bowl with the heating element on the bottom can only attach to one end too .. you should change the filter..you haven't done it in a while or ever before if you think it's upside down haha .. how many ks since last filter change??

Injectors are cheap to check and rebuild in your side of the world, as they are mostly standard Bosch indirect injection injectors, same construction as the Mercedes versions.

Do you have smoke under load? Do you hear any air rushing from a broken intercooler hose?

Just looked at the video clip with the smoke . Is not too bad . I would change injectors or try the injector cleaner additive .
In time spray pattern of the injectors can deteriorate due to nozle clogging up or enlargement of the small nozle holes and fuel doesn't burn as good as when injectors are new .
Unburned fuel or over fueling will create the black smoke you are having .
If there is air leak in the turbo/intercooler & hoses area than there will be less power and by pushing the accelerator harder to get more power it creates an over fueling condition and will show as a black smoke .
Carefull with the MAF sensor... it has a ceramic tip in it (you can see it in your picture) and it breaks very eazy .(ask me how I know) and are sooooo....expensive.
Just spray it with a Maf cleaner and should be enough .
The tube that goes in the turbo is the drain oil return in the crankcase .
The beep problem can be fixed as advised by others .
Not to sure about the rattling noise . Don't think would be the crankshaft big end bearings . Could be still injectors related .
Hope this help you a litle bit and welcome to the forum .

Hello there and thanx for the replies.

So, this is what I did ...

1. I checked the turbo. There seems to be no oil leak and the fan does not wobble.

2. It seems to be a small leak in the ERG from the inlet pipe side. The little valve seems to be leaking a little. Need a new ERG valve I guess (?) Im blocking it with a blank plate at the moment. I guess I will NOT pass emissions test this way (?)

3. Also found some small leaks from the inletpipe going in to the engine and No 1 glow plug

4. Crank case fail (??) No high pressure from the oil filler cap when the Jeep is warm and idling

@ Jamunji - Fuel filter was changed like 8 month ago. OK, Ill look into the horn thingy when I learn german and read the german instruction manual....

@ Adrian - NO excessive smoke under load. Just when revving up to 4000. NO obvious air leaks from the intercooler. Just a vague "leak noice" from the left wheel area. I think it is fuelpump working just fine (?)

@ amlav - I have tried injector additive for some time now. Maybe its time to change the injectors. I fixed the "drain oil return" connection. It does not leak anymore. Ill fix the BEEP thingy later

Sorry about the long thread. Im not gonna give up anytime soon.

BTW I found a 1700 page service manual
