Jeep Cherokee - Jeep Cherokee 2.5crd ltd timing belt or chain? - Luke Edwards
Does my 2002 jeep Cherokee 2.5 crd have a timing belt or chain? If belt when should this be replaced? Car has just hit 60k miles.

I have also noted a squeaking sound coming from the right hand wheel when turning at slow speeds ~20 mph. Local garage have looked at brakes, no problems at all, in excellent condition... Any ideas???

Thanks Luke

If it's the VM engine , neither. Gears I believe.

Squeaking sound? Suspension bushes - bottom and top , suspension bearings top, anti roll bar bushes (unlikely), power steering belt.. etc etc... Or lower ball joints..Or upper ball joints ..

Any competent garage...

Hi,

It will be a VM engine but the previous answer is wrong. It has a timing belt and it should be changed at 60,000m along with tensioner and idler pulleys.
