Hey Ross, Thank you so much for the jeep renegade videos. I'm from Israel and we have here the European version of the Limited with a 1.4L engine like in your car. Is there any chance you will make a video on changing/cleaning the fuel injectors? In general, any video about the Renegade would be welcome. Thanks again
Hi there I have another 10 or so videos filmed and just need to edit. that isn't one I have made yet but could look into it, unfortunately I wouldn't be soon. Ross
I can only guess this is not an American version or there's been a change in 2016. Our 2016 Renegade Latitude with the i4 turbo has the large hose like yours but yours has a quick release coupler for easy removal . Ours has stainless steel crimped clamps plus 2 hard plastic emissions lines with crimped metal hose clamps running right over the top of the 1st coil in the lineup (U.S. passenger side). To avoid cutting steel clamps and replacing them with traditional reusable hose clamps after coil install, I chose to remove 3 add'l bolts that hold a PVC accumulator box on the battery side of the engine, then slide two spring hose clamps up and away on another half inch hose so one side can be removed and the hose rotated away from the position it rests in, lift and push the accumulator box and the 2 hard plastic lines to the rear 3-4 inches while guiding the two small lines over the oil filler cap. If you've never worked on the American version of the Renegade it certainly isn't as easy as this video portrays. I envy your luck in having a better engineered version. BUT Your video is informative and helpful and covers one of the most essential parts...removing the coils electrical connector! Bosch and other coil manufacturers do recommend a dab of dielectric grease be added to the plug boot before inserting it into the head. Thank you. I appreciate you for posting.
Hey Michael, thanks for the comment! No this is in Australia, and it is the Italian built unit. I must admit I didn't realise there was such a change in the models! Is yours still a 1.4l? As I know there is the 1.6l and 2.4l versions over here, I will be releasing some videos soon of me replacing the turbo rotating assembly. Thanks again. Ross
Also to mention is check your spark plug gaps compared to manufactur rec. My 2.4L 2018 says a .047in gap 1.4L engine: 0.026 in (0.65 mm) 2.4L model: 0.047 in (1.20 mm) 1.6L E-Torque model: 0.039 in (1.00 mm)
First of all, hello. Your video was really informative. I have a 2015 Renegade (1.6 Multijet) with 177,000 kilometers on it. When idling, there's a fluctuation in the engine (rough / wobble). The idle RPM stays fixed at 700 and doesn’t move, but the engine seems as if it's revving up and down. However, this stops once the engine warms up. In the last few days, I’ve also started noticing a noticeable exhaust smell from the tailpipe. I haven't observed any smoke coming out. Do you think this issue could be related to the spark plugs? I've read that injectors, oxygen sensors, and MAF sensors can also cause these types of issues. I hope I’ve described the problem clearly. I’ll record a video soon and share the link here.
Hi there, so sorry I no longer have the car, you should be able to call a parts supplier with the cars VIN and they will be able to give you the part number. I have actually noticed that there is 2 variants of the 1.4.

What’s the proper gap on that spread?
Also to mention is check your spark plug gaps compared to manufactur rec. My 2.4L 2018 says a .047in gap
1.4L engine: 0.026 in (0.65 mm)
2.4L model: 0.047 in (1.20 mm)
1.6L E-Torque model: 0.039 in (1.00 mm)

No worries at all, thanks for watching and your comment. Ross
Does anybody know the correct torque specification for the spark plugs on this engine?
I have just done some searches and have found so many contracting figures. Sorry I cannot be of more help. Ross
Just do it until it's snug. Once it doesn't want to go in any further that's when you stop. They don't need to be cranked down.
@@guest-xo7nt thats my general approach too. Let the washer do its job.
Hello, could you please share the Mopar coil part number, it is not appearing in the video, i need it urgent please. My car is jeep renegade 2017, 1.4
Hi there, so sorry I no longer have the car, you should be able to call a parts supplier with the cars VIN and they will be able to give you the part number. I have actually noticed that there is 2 variants of the 1.4.
What size spark plug tool?
