This vehicle was bought back in December 2013 being one of the early 2014 Grand Cherokees. It was bought in the USA and imported to Europe hence this being a US-spec car in Europe.

hey I think you need to do more research on the Grand Cherokee because my mom had one when I was 16 in the 80's and it was a 1977 model year still manufactured by AMC back then and it was way bigger then
@@ChrisMonopoli yes that was a Cherokee not Grand Cherokee
I bought a 2014 Jeep GC Wk2 EcoDiesel 11 months ago with 106k miles. It is now deleted and has a stage 2 tune on it. After 11 months it now currently has 150k miles on it I’ve had absolutely no problems with the Jeep or the engine. Im Averaging 32MPG ~63mph and 27MPG ~80 mph. Make sure to keep up on the maintenance on the fuel filters changing them ~30k miles. Change engine oil ~7k miles (rated up to 10k miles). Make sure the check the coolant level (I’ve heard the EGR has caused a lot of problems for some people). Make sure you drive it a lot at “highway speeds” (>50) so you don’t clog up the DPF and put it into limp mode. Let it idle at least 1 minute of normal driving before shutting it down, if you tow a trailer let it idle 3 minutes. Operation temperature is around 195°F and gets up to about 203°F when on the highway without towing a trailer. Like I’ve said before some people have had problems with the EGR and it starting on fire, but as long as you watch your engine temperatures (or delete the EGR), you will be just fine.
If it was legal in Belgium I'd delete mine too!
I am looking at one it’s a 2015 with 93000mi now reading your message I will look into the services I will be driving a lot so best bet is a diesel I’m sure it’s just broken in having 93k miles on it
Hey mine is just stage 1 deleted (software disabled the egr). Will mine be okay that way in the long run?
What are the benefits of being deleted ?
@@emenny81 the egr stops feeding the soot back into the engine that may have solidified and damaged the engine from inside
You take a time to explain me this car, thank you so much!
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Any time!
Great vid good details, I have had a 2014 Laredo Platinum diesel in NZ for about 6 months it has 258000 Km's and runs like a dream, been a great SUV
Thank you! I hope my Jeep will reach that mileage without troubles.
I have a 2014 Overland.... 215,000 KM on the diesel... still zooms right along!
Awesome!!
What where the Problems you had with it?And since how many miles did you own it?Thanks...
@@mkay6115 Had to replace the two rear air bags and the EGR cooler was done with a recall...other than that, normal oil changes and maintenance.
Love it! I’m looking into getting one of these but I’m a bit worried about that recall situation now…
Is all you had to do for the recall is just have it taken in and EGR fixed by the shop?
@@terrancetaylor2160 Basically...yes... since then, however, I've hit a deer with hit.. totaled the Jeep...but....1.5 years later...I found an identical one except for the interior color... the recall on the replacement was already completed.
I have this kind of vehicle for 3 years.Bought it used with 60k miles.First year I enjoyed it,"fuel economy",power,acceleration,tork etc.Second year problems started from limp mode 100 miles away from my home.Since that my car is sitting more time in repair shop at local Jeep dealer than I'm driving it.I had replaced sooth filter, egr cooler,fuel lines,alll jets,most of sensors,high preassure fuel pump and today I was told (after 2 month in dealer shop,I towed it to dealer for repair July 8 /21,its almost Sep.8 /21) I need low pressure fuel pump to be replaced too.I maid only 20k miles for 3 years,and every time when I have problem, vehicle is in shop for few weeks minimum, because it's no parts availability.I don't wish to buy this car even to my enemy.Last time my wife used it,and it stalled on highway with 50mph speed, and thanks God nobody hit it,and my kids and wife weren't injured.
Yikes!!! Sorry to hear that, I'd try to contact Jeep themselves maybe they can help or a specialized diesel mechanic.
That car could just be a Lemon? check your State Lemon Laws
Good Luck!!
if it is used then lemon law doesn't work
Sorry to hear that Ivan B… I’ve seen the modern Diesel vehicles last long without problems if they are driven mostly on Highway speeds , coz that help limit carbon buildup in engine systems and keep it away from emission related problems. And the people who have any diesel vehicles not just a jeep and if there’re doing average 7000 kms a year and on low speeds like 60 km/h most of times likely to have many issues in moderation diesel cars… You always better buy petrol car if you’re in this type of scenario where you just drive for work 15-20 km a day… Best of luck
Great video. Thank you for all the details and unit conversions that you provided.
Glad it was helpful and thanks for the kind comment!
I drive Jeep 20 Years..great.
My first one....R6 1993 Grand
Cherokee Limited. N.c.more
Awesome Cars.....wishes from Austria
Cheers!
Finally a decent review, if you had a choice, would you pick the diesel over the other engine options again?
Yes definitely! Especially in Europe where you'd be nuts to have a petrol powered one because of the high fuel prices and taxes.
Awesome bro!!
Appreciate it brate!!!
the b roll 😎😎
A lil giggly
You did an excellent job on that video.
Appreciate it!
ayyy sick
Thanks bro
Bravo DiMi🍀
Looking into getting an EcoDiesel as well. There’s a 2016 Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel Summit for around 25k with 57000 miles at a nearby dealership. One of the main reasons I’m looking at it is because of the fuel economy it has. I was trying to look at reviews on the Jeep owners website and honestly, most of the reviews I saw were nothing but people saying that had problems on top of problems, which I was scared to hear. But what I have noticed, most of them were for a 2014 model, not much on a 2016 which is would I be getting. But would you recommend overall?
I'd definetly recommend it! However only if you plan on doing at least 13 000 miles since this engine needs to be driven just like all diesels. I'd also recommend looking at it's german diesel rivals. Audi Q7 TDI, VW Touareg TDI, BMW X5 35d, Mercedes ML 350 bluetec and GLK 250 bluetec. The GLK is the smallest. Most of the german rivals Jeep will probalby cost more to buy and maintain however the build quality is better. Let me know what you decide on buying!
@@AStick3Pedals don't look at the Touareg that thing is a mess
Meu Jeep Grand Cherokee CRD 3.0 2013 fundiu o motor com 140.000Km mesmo com todas as revisões efetuadas dentro dos prazos indicados pelo manual do proprietário...😕
sad to hear that
Sineeeee bravo
Thank you for this review, but I still not sure about the diesel Engine , I see to many cars with damage diesel Engine ..
Fair enough! Thanks for watching!
I’m looking to get one in a few days. It’s a 2014 wk2 diesel grand Cherokee 90k miles. Anything you would say look out for?
See if it had a transmission oil change at least once and besides that have fun with it!
A Stick & 3 Pedals thanks for the fast response. I talked with the dealer yesterday and they changed all the fluids when they got it!
@@josephkirvida6173 awesome! What spec is it?
@@AStick3Pedals it’s a fully loaded limited. It’s the only one I could find with adaptive cruise.
@@josephkirvida6173 nice! Let me know how it treats you
Would you get an extended warranty on it at this point?
If it would had stayed in the US then probably however once the vehicle gets exported there is no chance of any warranty.
What issues did you encounter during your ownership ?
As I mentioned towards the end of the video, the systems which make it comply with emissions regulations have posed minor problems. To be more specific the car is sensitive to the type of Adblue you use, therefore putting the Jeep one is best. If the car is very low or empty on adblue the vehicle will not start.
argh... same as the Q7 countdown issues that have been stering me towards looking at Jeeps.. I have no idea they worked the same way. Thanks for sharing! @@AStick3Pedals
@@AN-kg4ei thanks for your comment
Is these engines good or bad?
Pretty good
Hey can we switch to 2WD?
normally not but if you maybe pull a fuse then it could go 2WD
@@AStick3Pedals how do we pull the fuse?
That's 420 American ft-lbs, just to be clear :)
yes
