Video tutorial

This video shows us exactly how the timing belt of the Jeep Cherokee 2.8 CRD should be installed on the various pulleys and tensioners. Such a clear diagram is rare, outside of workshop manuals, and should be cherished.

The recommended interval is 5/6 years or 100,000 kilometers; as always, the condition that occurs first applies. Along with the belt itself, it is advisable to also replace some components such as the tensioners, idler pulley, and water pump.

The latter is often changed even if it is still in good condition, because if it were to fail, the cost of labor is equal to that of changing the belt - which is significant - so there is always a tendency to also change this component. Belt breakage can cause a real catastrophe, as it can lead to a collision between the valves and pistons, also damaging the engine cylinder head and camshaft, and the repair of these damages is extremely expensive.
