Title: cam belt change
Post by: jonthejeep on October 16, 2010, 01:17:59 PM

Hi Iv got a Cherokee sport turbo CRD on a 2002 plate the jeep garage says the cam belt needs changing every 60,000 miles but its done 73,000 miles and i dont think its been changed, does anyone have any probs with this if its not been changed?

Get it done, there'll be total mechanical carnage if it fails.

I was told mine didn't need changing until 100k miles (2005 2.8crd KJ).

My '04 2.5 CRD was due at 60K but hey may have changed the schedule for later models.

If I don't know when a cam belt has been changed I usually get it changed soon after  buying a vehicle just for peace of mind.
