HELP

Okay so I got a 2015 trailhawk and it needs an ac compressor replacement. What's a reasonable price, I've been quoted 1400 at a few places or would it be cheaper to do it myself then just go in for a recharge?

head unit upgrade

i'm looking to upgrade the head unit in my 2019 trailhawk, the only one i seem to have found is the XTRONS option. overall it seems like it will be fine, primarily just want it for android auto and a better interface in general. i'm just trying to make sure it can still control the heated steering wheel specifically, i can't seem to find that information anywhere. if anyone has an answer to this or any other suggestions for good head unit options i would appreciate it!

Any advice

Just got a 2017 jeep renegade and I absolutely love it! I know nothing about cars but want to be more proactive in the maintenance. I have read a lot about them needing an oil change more frequently, any other advice?

Just bought my first Jeep! 2019 Renegade with only 9800 miles driven. I feel I couldn’t pass this deal up and it’s basically a new vehicle. Runs great and it’s perfect for what I need. I’ll be having this until I hit the 120,000 miles.

New Renegade owner

Hey, just bought a 2018 Jeep Renegade Latitude with just under 67k miles. It was a pretty quick purchase but I’ve done some research. Two things popped up that seemed pretty useful to know. First, that is an oil hungry engine. How often do you guys change the oil? I couldn’t find exact mileage. Second, I saw something that said they weren’t worth keeping after 100 to 120k miles. How true do you feel that statement is? I just want to get an idea of when I should start looking for something else. Also any other advice would be helpful for a new owner. Thanks, and I’m glad to be part of the group!

Cartopping big kayak

Anyone here who cartops a big kayak (96 lb in this case)?

On my old much larger SUV I would just slide it up the side, paint be damned. Not trying to obliterate my new Renegade like that though, curious what y'all are doing.

2016 Jeep renegade sport airbag and odometer issues

I currently have 93k miles, a kenwood after market stereo, and a pedal commander. This past month, twice my airbag light came on (each time it was after getting gas). Yesterday we disconnected the battery to see if a reset would help… now my odometer is blinking. Does anyone know what might be going on? Thank you!!

Anyone know the significance of this bolt?

My car came without an engine cover and I’m pretty sure. This was a tie down spot for it. Do I need this bolt for anything?

2023 remote start

My second renegade is 2023 and the dealership said they cannot get any factory remote start because of back order. So i went the aftermarket route and every single place is telling me that nothing compatible , because Jeep didn’t put any software for it ????

Has anyone else run into this ?? remote start is essential for me , specially in the winter , i really want to find a solution , any thoughts or suggestions ???

Finally a decent portable Carplay screen

Jeep renegade 2016, so no CarPlay on the Uconnect screen.

Pros about portable CarPlay:

  • Beautiful 60hz fully Laminated 8.9" screen, connect really fast
  • Keep Carplay screen even when reversing
  • Keep the dials (will have to removed if replace a CarPlay-enabled info screen)
  • Screen-only mode keep media stream from your phone directly to your car via bluetooth (steering wheel still works)

Cons:

  • Compare to a replace a new info, it need additional usb-c port for power and a stand
  • Compare to other portable carplay screen, slightly expensive

Overall I'm very satisfied.

High coolant

Hi everyone, I have a 2022 Jeep renegade trailhawk 30k miles. Today it has been giving me high coolant temp warnings as I drive around. I saw some other posts on here saying it could be cold weather? It’s been about 40-45 degrees Fahrenheit all day. Thanks

I plan to get a 2020 with 4wd when possible

2016 Renegade shut off randomly on the highway

Hey all! I was driving home from work going about 65MPH when suddenly my dashboard said 4WD unavailable and then my jeep shut off. Engine, lights, everything- it was as if my car was in park and I turned it off myself. After about 15 seconds I was able to start it back up and made it home without any issues.

This was terrifying as you could imagine, luckily I didn’t cause an accident. I just got an oil change like 3 months ago, no service warnings on my dashboard. My head gasket blew about 2 years ago and I got a brand new engine.

Not really a car guy and don’t even know where to begin. I’m going to take it to the dealership tomorrow but wanted to see what the community thinks.

We got a lot of rain today and there’s been flood warnings in my area, temperature outside is 40 degrees (including this in case weather can contribute)

Anyone have any thoughts?? Thanks a bunch in advance..

Vacuum pump leak - fix

Wanted to share how I fixed my leaky vacuum pump on a Jeep Renegade 1.4T. Most of the times the leak is from the seal between the engine and the vacuum pump mounting bracket. My advice is to change the o-ring between the mounting bracket and the pump internals when doing the seal as I did the job twice because of that. The o-ring is available online but I am based in eastern Europe and it was not an option. I went to a seals shop and got it separately. If you go to a shop make sure you bring the pump with you so they can measure the groove. Tell the clerk that it is for a vacuum pump as the material of the o-ring is special!! Also I advice you to change the o-ring on the vacuum connector. It is special material also!! When assembling the pump be sure that it is rotating freely! It is tricky to assemble. If it is not assembled well it can break your camshaft! I believe the t-25 bolts should be tightened to 20 nm but check twice. The ones for the engine mount are 20nm. Happy wrenching!
