Hi,

I tried to get the information for you, but they are only showing two V6 engines, a 3.3L and a 3.8L. See attached. I realize the crdi indicates a common rail direct injection and that is normally related to a diesel engine.

If that is correct, let me know. I don't believe that engine was offered in the US.

Take care,

Joe

Hi Joe, yes that's correct, it's the 2.5 liter diesel engine.

Hi,

I'm not finding information on that engine in any of my manuals. Are you located in the US?

Hi,

I'm sorry, but I don't have that info. The diesel wasn't offered here. That's why it isn't in any of my manuals. I'm going to ask the site owner if he has any suggestions.
