Since 2010, the company has assembled the 3.0-liter diesel V6 Jeep EXF or 3.0 CRD engine, which is mounted on the Grand Cherokee crossover in the WK2 body and the Chrysler 300C sedan in the LD body. Fiat Powertrain and VM Motori collaborated to develop this diesel, which is also referred to as the A630 DOHC.
ENC, ENJ, ENS, ENR, EXF, EXJ, EXN, and EXA are all part of the VM Motori series.

Disadvantages of the EXF engine
The majority of diesel issues are caused by fuel system malfunctions;
The high pressure fuel pump may malfunction or the injectors may begin to pour even before 100,000 kilometers; oil starvation frequently results from the heat exchanger valve sinking;
This turbocharger is fairly dependable, but its nozzles frequently burst, and the thermostat and damper actuator that adjust the intake’s geometry frequently malfunction.
