2005 Jeep Liberty CRD Timing Belt Change
Many manufacturers specify a 100,000-mile change interval; such was the case with the 2.8L VM Motori in our ’05 Jeep Liberty CRD.For years, small diesel engine manufacturers have been using overhead cam designs as a way to get the most out of a limited-displacement platform. Unfortunately, many small overhead cam mills utilize a timing belt to drive the camshafts (as opposed to a more durable timing chain), making them interference engines. This means timing belt failure can lead to piston-to-valve contact and other catastrophic internal damage, but more importantly it makes replacing the belt inevitable if you want the engine to last.
