It's up to Fiat now...if they want to pass the cost over to us.
Not so, the urea system is just one way to make a diesel comply, many diesels comply without the use of urea.

Not a good first impression there. I'm not sure but I might have told them to keep it at that point and put me in a different one

Problem is that this was a special order before the 2011 was even released in Australia, plus it has a heap of mods which I wanted.

I'm figuring that a warranty is to be used to fix problems, and hopefully the issues will be fixed and we get back to normal, otherwise, if the issues do go on, all hell will break loose.

It seems Chrysler is strategically investing in Diesel.

I found this link reading Mike's Jeep News: http://www.americanmachinist.com/Cla...alse&CID=86922

I think the momentum is building for a North American Diesel, but like others have said, i will believe it when I see it.
