Jeep Wrangler 2016

FROM

$16,610

The 2016 Jeep Wrangler range of configurations is currently priced from $16,610.

Our most recent review of the 2016 Jeep Wrangler resulted in a score of 7 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Ewan Kennedy had this to say at the time: It's a shame that too few Jeep Wrangler owners don't get off-road in serious conditions. We highly recommend it, but make sure you get some driver training, and ideally travel in convoy with at least one other vehicle. With some recovery gear on board if you want to really test yourself and the Jeep.

This is what Ewan Kennedy liked most about this particular version of the Jeep Wrangler: Engine gives diesel-like grunt, perfect for off-road driving., 75th theme works well with clever touches all over., Great fun when driving off road.

Jeep Wrangler 2016 FAQs

Jeep Wrangler 2.8 Diesel Problems

The 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine fitted to the Jeep Wrangler (and some Cherokee models) in the earlier part of this century seems to be a decent proposition in terms of reliability and ability to go the distance. The engine is made in Italy by VM Motori, a diesel engine specialist that was owned by Jeep’s parent company, Fiat Chrysler (as it was then).

A large capacity four-cylinder engine, the basics seem well engineered and inherent problems are uncommon. As such, Jeep Wrangler 2.8 diesel problems are more likely to come from the engine’s ancillaries including the turbocharger unit, intercooler and some of the emissions-control equipment.

Turbochargers have a shelf life in pretty much any vehicle and, depending on how hard a life the vehicle has had, these can require replacement when the bearings begin to wear or the internal components become damaged by carbon deposits.

Intercoolers can fail over time, and the car’s emission controls, which see it consume a proportion of its own exhaust gases as well as its own crankcase fumes, can lead to black, sticky deposits in the intake system which can require manual cleaning.

The engine is also a common-rail design, so injector and fuel-pump life can be shorter than for older, conventional diesel-engine designs.

The key to any engine’s longevity, of course, is its service history. Even the best design will be a source of ongoing grief if a previous owner has not followed the correct servicing regime. A complete service history is an absolute must when buying any second-hand turbo-diesel.

Jeep Wrangler: Replacement key cost

Without more information like the variant, year etc its hard to say. Often a cheap automotive locksmith will save you money, but sometimes a trip to the dealer will be necessary. You can read more about how to replace your car keys here.
