Having done 160,000 kms of trouble free motoring (except for new glow plugs 1 month ago), my Jeep GC started jerking badly around 1500 to 1800 rpm, and within 2 mins a red light falshes on the dash (ETC error).
After 2 days the engine management also came on, with an EGT valve error.
We took it out, cleaned it, re-fitted it, but the red light flashing and severe jerking continues.
The Dealer is adamant that the Turbo is gone, and wants to replaced it for a cool USD 9,500-00, but this does not make any sense!
Any ideas what we should try first?
The fuel is clean, tank has been checked and flushed, car starts easily and idles very smooth, as before, but jerks badly after 1500 rpm.
After a short while, once the red light starts flashing, the car goes into some limp mode, and then stops jerking, but of course has no power.
Any sugestions most welcome.
