Hi everyone.
I'm new to Jeep and to this forum and I wonder if anyone can give me some information about the following.

I got my JK Unlimited Sahara 3.8l a few months ago and I'm still excited about it. It’s not only me, my whole family loves it. Currently I live in Qatar (originally from Europe). I have a lot of fun going to the desert on weekends. I'm amazed about JK's performance.
Actually, I would like to import my JK to my home country but I'm not sure about it's compliance with EURO 3 and EURO 4 emission standards. My dealer can't give me the straight answer.
My question is: Does JK 3.8l engine meet current EURO emission standard? Why there is only 2.8l CRD engine on the European market? I've tried to do the research on the internet but not much luck.
It is nice to be a part of the Jeep tribe. Thanks in advance.

 

good question
if the jeep has usa emissions its good to go anywhere (I THINK)
i would contact whatever agency regulates car registrations in the country you will be going to and find out...... the diesel is not clean enough for usa emissions
but if it were comming here you could get a waiver or conversion i think that works everywhere
good luck

 

Judging from your bumpers you have a Euro spec jeep anyway. If you look on the VIN label (inside the driver's door), there should be a European conformity number starting with "E". And you could ask your dealer for the vehicle's European Certificate of Conformity (COC) which is what you will need to import it to Europe with no hassles.

 

hey there seems we have a lot in common i also live and work in qatar and own a 2007 jk sahara steel blue i bought here in qatar in june , i think its the 1st sahara sold here in qatar but not sure,love it ,trying to find out how to ship it back to the states when i go, send me a message back maybe we can start a jeep and or jk club here in qatar,

 

You can get both engines here in Europe. And yes both engines meet the EU emission standards.

Here's a pretty good link to clarify the Euro standards http://www.dieselnet.com/standards/eu/ld.php

 

You are right. Something similar was explained to me by local dealer. What he said was that he can check EURO emissions compliance for my vehicle (by VIN) and get it confirmed from the factory so I shall have some kind of certificate to show to local authorities when importing. He said that he will do it when I decide to ship my JK to my home country. I just can't wait to know because I'll pack my things and leave the country in maybe 1, 2,... years time. I wonder if there are differences between petrol engines from region to region in the emissions point if view? Is it possible that my JK does not comply with EU emissions?
BTW I wouldn’t' like to run diesel in the winter. I'm happy with my petrol engine. Here is my door sticker.

 

Check my link above for differences...
All EU countries have the same standards and regulations.

Both 3.8 V6 Petrol and 2.8 TD engines are rated as EURO 4

 

Thanks, I'll do that.

 

Great, I've already sent you a private message.

 

Your VIN looks very different from mine (see picture) - the first number is the EU certification number. Just ask your dealer whether you can get a EU Certificate of Conformity (COC) (see pics). If you can, then importing is no problem. If you can't, you will still be able to import but you will need an individual type approval in your country which is costly and bothersome.
