Joe Jeep Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 A friend of mine and I were talking about our Jeeps and the subject of the turbo diesel came up. I know this was a 2.1L Renault turbo diesel, but what tranny did they put behind it? Were they 4x4 or 2wd? Also, what were the HP and torque figures (@rpms)? Did they put this motor in any other vehicle in the US? I could see the wheels turning in his mind so I figure I would try to gather as much info as possible. Thanks.

JeepcoMJ Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Renault 2.1 Turbo Diesel available in the states from 1986-1987 but was classified as export only...still, some were allowed to slip through the cracks. available in turbo and non-turbo, non-turbo mainly sporting the auto trans. tranny options were 2wd and 4wd, with an ax5 or an ax4. the bellhousing is different, and the input shafts are Renault-specific. cylinder count is from the firewall forward, rather than the other way around (firewall is one, front is 4). they're an aluminum block with cast sleeves (removable). mechanical fuel pump, so the operating system is fairly easy to use. starters tend to go bad on them. my dad drives one daily and he keeps a backup as he's had them go out 4 times now. just rebuild the spare, keep it for a rainy day.
