This video explains some important points regarding the timing belt of the Jeep Cherokee 2.2: first of all, the timing belt is quite accessible in this engine, but specific tools are essential to avoid errors in the timing procedure. You can obtain a complete toolkit from auto-doc.it with code 5907558436303 for £34.55 plus £9.95 shipping, which is necessary to lock the camshaft.

It is crucial to know that when replacing the belt, you must also replace the upper bearing, water pump, lower bearing, and tensioner. This is because it is often not the belt that breaks but the associated components, which can damage the timing, leading to valve breakage and consequently engine failure.

Therefore, while changing the belt is a significant expense, it can prevent even bigger problems.
