How-to: Change fuel filter on Jeep Liberty CRD
Vložit
- čas přidán 17. 09. 2016
- This was the first time I've done a fuel filter change on my Jeep Liberty CRD. I've owned my CRD for only 11,000 miles but was starting to notice a loss in power at highway passing speeds.

Great video, I will confidently get on and change mine now and will take account of some of the brilliant tips given in the comments 👍
That's what it's all about! So glad to be able to help the next person!
Pull the fuse for the fuel pump and start your jeep. It'll die off shortly after starting as the fuel is used up and then the filter will be empty.
Awesome tip. Hope all those coming to this video see it and consider it!
Great video helped alot especialy knowing the amount of fuel that was gona spill from yhe filter
Tim Lawrence yea I just redid this about a month ago and I spilled much less, haha. Thanks for watching, happy it helped
Thanks to you blazing the trail, I did it in an hour with hardly a drop spilled. Would have been faster but took me half an hour to unscrew the filter
That's awesome! That's exactly what I'd hope this video would do. Help the next one out! Only thing I regret about this video is that I filmed it before I met the original threshold CZcams needed to be able to film longer than 15min! Wished I could have shown the bleeding better than I did
Good video, looking forward to more.
thanks. I know it's a little long if you're not a CRD owner. Hope the future ones are a little more universal
Let me know if you have any good stories of your first time changing something on your vehicle where you think that you wished you had done a how-to for it? Here's an example of how I solved a CEL issue on the same CRD Liberty - czcams.com/video/plzZJ6P2rSI/video.html
I've been changing my fuel filter maybe 4-5 times and just remove sensor, fill filter with Fuel(I've been using sea foam) replace and usually works without bleeding/pumping). No need to remove housing.
nice, great tip!
Best video ever. Thanks man you have serious intelligence and skills.
Aww shucks...I don't know if I'd go that far! Haha. But seriously, thanks for the kind words
@@Str8sixfan I’m serious, if your other videos are this detailed and clear, your channel is going to be a big hit. The confidence this gave me was a real boost. I did my fuel filter today for the first time, never did I know there was a primer for bleeding the air. Amazing. So you’ve saved me..::.hmmm about a hundred bucks I think. I appreciate that. All the best to you.
Funniest part about this video is this. 1) it's pretty old, and I don't know that my channel has turned out to be a big hit since (though this is probably my #2 or #3 all time video). 2) at that time CZcams had thresholds you had to be at in order to upload past a 15min video. This video warranted needing to be longer than 15min so I could show the actual bleeder working. Now that I'm bigger (and think CZcams lifted the rule anyway) I try so hard to make videos not be any longer than 15min, unless they need to be. This one just needed to be born a few months later, when I could make it longer!
9:50 crack open purge with 7/16. CLOSE. Pump manual pressure valve. Stop pumping. Open purge, release air. Repeat till fuel flows easy when opening (not spits or sputters out). I like to lay a shop towel on motel where fuel will spit and use rag in hand to catch fuel when cracking bleeder. And another tip, when you pull filter out have a two liter with top 1/4 cut off and just unscrew and tip into catch cup. Then remove sensor. Over 200 doing every 20k never an issue for me. Great video. I watched cause I forgot wrench size, thought was metric lol, go figure. Thanks for help.
herewegofans glad it could help! I ended up doing a second one, but sold the beast back in May. Second go around was much cleaner than this one!
Str8sixfan at least you had the chance to own one. Not many like these. And 25mpg mixed is nice for a lifted 4wd you can flat tow.
herewegofans was one of my favorite vehicles to own, just not to fix
Str8sixfan yeah, it's a needy rig. But as long as we keep the simple stuff tended, no real major fixes needed. Sources parts can suck, I agree.
I have had good luck loosening the fuel filter just a tiny bit before I remove the housing from the firewall. That way I can unscrew it by hand, lower it just enough to slip it out while keeping the filter upright, NO SPILLS.
Good tip. I'm getting pretty close to being due for doing it again. So I'll be sure to add that in!
Nice pointers! Thanks for taking the time and effort to show us. Only tip I would add is to oil the seal surfaces first, attach the water sensor to the bottom of the filter, then fill the filter with diesel fuel before attaching it to the housing. This should make the priming much faster and easier?!?
I've heard people filling the filter. Wasn't that bad for me priming it without. I hadn't hit the milestone necessary with YT when I recorded this one to do longer than 15min videos. I did oil the seals
Well said man. 👍Too many key board warriors on YT
I try to be transparent about how often times I'm doing these things for the first time. Thanks for watching!
My handbrake cable is not working on the left side, I love these vehicles but I get some pretty basic problems.
thanks for the tips,,, i have changed two on mine and didnt know or realize there was a bleader valve ,, duh thanks again
frank wilson no worries! glad I could help.
Well the filter comes in the mail today and I’ll be attempting this after I get off work. I am
Not very skilled with any mechanical stuff so hopefully I get it right!
It's not super difficult, you'll do fine!
@@Str8sixfan about to give a go in a minute wish me luck!
@@Str8sixfan so I just did the repair and it worked!!! So glade I did it myself. One thing I might add is that the water sensor is pigtailed too the other two sensors and you can pull the wires up and out of the hood to negate the fuel spilling in the engine area. Otherwise thanks so much man, it’s good to be able to do it yourself instead of relying on someone.
@@atothelexer That's awesome! My only regret with this one, is that back when I filmed it CZcams had weird thresholds like you had to have 100 subscribers to be able to upload a longer than 15min video. And I wished I could have shown the bleeding process to get the air out. But glad it worked!
Great vidéo. Thanx. I did it today.
Glad it helped!
helpful video, thanks. ive got to do mine. shes running sluggish
Michelle Dale I just learned the hard way...also check MAF sensor's cleanliness and that the tube from your air box to turbo isn't damaged and has good seal
sweet video seems pretty smooth other than spilling diesel fuel lol
Snapyoass 82 haha! yea anything to help you guys avoid it! thanks for watching
good vid... fuel spill is a minor point, diesel is not that flammable like gasoline.. I would recommend removing the NEGATIVE terminal, that way if you accidentally hit a wrench on the car while loosening, you won't get arc and spark... as long as any terminal is disconnected (and not touching the terminal) the battery is fully removed from the electrical system.
I always make sure that the removed terminal is touching the plastic base of the battery. I've gotten this reply a few times. I guess this is the direction I will head in the future, but I figured you could also ground out the circuit by touching anything to metal too. I suppose removing the battery in its entirety ends all of that discussion. Thanks for dropping by.
Excellent video thanks
Glad it helped! I really wished I would have been further in my CZcams career when I filmed this. At the time I couldn't film longer than a 15-minute video. Which ironically I don't like to film videos that long now, but this certainly was the perfect candidate for one to be about 17-18 minutes long. Wished I could have showed the bleeding the fuel filter part.
Please note always cap off the fuel pipe ends when working with diesel engines,, good vid 👍
Thanks for this comment. I appreciate when people give the constructive criticism, where all can learn, including myself. Some people just come in the comments and shout - "you're doing it all wrong!" You're just try to help out the next one, thanks
@@Str8sixfan we all have to learn over time fella, just done both my fuel filters on my jeeps this afternoon,, constructive criticism is always the best way 👌
I recommend removing the water in fuel sensor and not twisting the wire then you can remove filter over a bucket etc and not spill Fuel. Fill the new filter with clean diesel before replacing it. All the original nuts etc are metric so to remove the fuel filter head its a 13mm size but 1/2 inch will also work.
To make it much easier in future you can buy a 3/8 brass splicer at lowes etc for around $7 and add a couple of feet more fuel hose from tank hose that way you can pull whole filter head up further to easily get the sensor off and install the new filter in vertical position then reattach the filter head to firewall.
Good recommendations
They changed the connector on these things in the last year. New filter did not fit mine. You will probably have to change out some parts next time you replace it again.
Interesting. I know there's the fuel head upgrade (because of the wiring fires) which is maybe related. I had to replace my fuel head later for a different reason, but had found the PO had already done the upgrade. Nonetheless, I've since sold my Jeep but this is valuable information you have provided for future viewers...so thanks for watching, but thanks even more for the info in your comment
just bought one of these drove great until this morning. acted like it ran out of gas on me after starting up. after trial and error it appears the person i bought it from hadnt replaced it in five years its rusted and leaking through the bottom. hoping this will get it back up and starting.
Good luck to ya! This was one of my most favorite vehicles I ever owned, but almost simultaneously most frustrating. Cost of ownership was really hard to justify, but man it was BA to ride around in a lifted diesel jeep with leather seats and a sunroof
I have an 05 Liberty renegade 3.7 having trouble finding my filter
cdarkes84 totally different process between gas and diesel motors, my video probably won't help you much. Yours is likely attached to the chassis. Just follow the fuel line from the tank
How the heck did you get that 2nd sensor off? I've spent 10 minutes trying to get mine off and its still on !
Wow, I'd have to go back and watch it's been so long. That's always the most frustrating part about working on your own cars, is inevitably there's always one thing that should be so simple to remove and it winds up taking longer than it should for some reason. Sorry I am of no help today. Good luck, all I can think of are you using a prying surface on the clip?
great vid the only thing as far as safety would be to stay away from the battery with all the fuel spilling any accidental spark could result in a bad day
John Nunes great advice.
Sitting in my live room watching this, I swear I can smell diesel fuel😮😊😊😊
haha, yea I have come a long way
I heard it’s a good opportunity to fill the filter with injector cleaner, don’t know if anyone has tried that?
Very interesting concept
How can i change the jeep liberty thermostat CRD 2005
Francisco Martínez fantastic question, I've never done it personally so not sure I can help there
Buy one from Jeffrey Allen Bauer. You can find him on Facebook on the CRD Liberty group. It's expensive, but you will never have a problem with the thermostat again. The stock one you need to replace the entire housing which is huge.
Go check out lostjeeps.com if you still have a CRD, it's a forum that's mainly for CRD owners. Good luck!
THANKS !!!
No doubt! That's what it's here for! Happy to help out!
Exactly how I do it on my Jeep. However I use a filter wrench to tighten it, as I have had issues with air in the fuel. Air in the fuel, can cause issues such as sluggish performance.
Krisztian Jonas good to know. Mines been sluggish but I am pretty sure it's EGR related in my case. I'm getting close to needing to change my filter again!
Look into Provent and disabing the EGR. There is a guide at lostjeeps.com on how to disable the EGR with a DIY ECU tune. Just search Liberty CRD DIY ECU.
I actually recently completed this task, and have a video on it. Big difference, and regret not doing it sooner!
Please help I just did this now it won’t start when I whent too start it when I was don’t in cranked for a second now no crank just click please see this message i have no other car and I’m not sure what too do now please help I did everything you did same steps I’m not sure what I did wrong
make sure your battery cable is reconnected making good contact.
@@Str8sixfan it is but the ads relay is clicking tried swapping it it just clicks still and sorry for my mess of a message I was in a panic lol still am but more calm and for power wise I have power lights turn on light bars turn on do you think it can still be the battery? Also thanks for replying I extremely appreciate it man
Hi what year is your jeep?? Thanks
It was a 2006. In the US you could only get the diesel in the 05 and 06 model years for the Liberty.
Good video. But shouldnt you check for leaks after you start car? Thanks for making this video.
Well yes, that too. Honestly I don't like making videos longer than 12 minutes, but...this particular video needed to be about 17-18 minutes long to cover that. And when ai recorded this video I didn't have enough subscribers on CZcams to unlock the ability to make longer than 15 minute videos. I totally would have shown that if I was a bigger channel that many moons ago. Thanks for watching though!
Can you elaborate on this? I'm about to replace mine in an 06 CRD
@@rgbmanly just simply watch the fuel filter head upon start up as well as around the bleeder valve to make sure everything is tight and no leaks 👍
@@Str8sixfan Thanks man. I went to bleed the fuel filter today for the first time and diesel shot out even after I tightened the bleeder back up, so I went to tighten it again and it broke the part where it screws in. On the lostjeeps CRD forum it recommended replacing it with a different one anyways as the stock one is apparently not great, but man I am so pissed I broke it. Hopefully when the new assembly arrives the replacement will go as smooth as yours did
@@rgbmanly same thing happened to me during my EGR delete marathon. It's in one of my videos so I feel your pain. I have the same screen name over there at Lostjeepa
Next time fill the filter with seafoam. Helps clean the injectors. Trick they do with the Mercedes diesel
Eric Powers hey, nice pointer! I'll give that a shot
@@Str8sixfan actually better to fill with half diesel half seafood or just pour diesel in with 4 ounces of Naptha and 2 ounces isopropyl alcohol Seafood is 60% pale oil which is like diesel or auto trans fluid or 10 weight oil . Its called an Italian tuneup. Then take it out and do a lot of full accelerations for 3 or 4 miles.
What was the result as far as your gas mileage?
Negligible. This was just routine maintenance per the recommended cycle
What is CRD?
Common Rail Diesel
car year?
2006
👍
thanks
Horrible lighting but still super helpful video keep it up
I've come a long way. You should watch one of my videos from this year. But this is legit my cash cow video of the channel
