In the WK?

Is it a bigger version of the 2.7?

Enquiring minds need to know..

[Mickey]

Don't post often, the answer is no, both Merc lumps but very different.  

2.7 straight 5 about 163 bhp, I think
3.0 is a V6 215 bhp, very nice engine, if you can't tell I have a WK  
for what it's worth here's a picture, not that you can see much as it's shoe horned in there.

Is that a carrying handle across the middle? and a bonnet release catch at the front?

[Mickey]

Nope, it's a strut brace across the back, the WK uses a McPherson strut setup on the front, the bar is for additional strength.

the thing your looking at near the front is a locating hole for the big plastic thing that covers the engine, WHY all car manufacturer's do this I don't know....

its so women have less choices to put the wrong fluid in........hence easier for AA /RAC  to diagnose the problems

[Mickey]

I can believe that being an ex mechanic, saw a few strange things over the years.

although when I admit to being an ex mechanic, some people ask "what you buy a jeep for then, you should have known better"

what does a diseasel run on? weasle extract?

[isle of man]

confirmed it's a Mercedes-Benz engine same as the ML.

Jeep do a Startech power upgrade to 250bhp I believe, and it can do average 30mpg I was told by an owner. I want one if you couldn't tell
