Hi
I'm new on this forum. My Name is Eric , I com from France.
I have a Jeep Liberty 2.5 liter CRD
I must change the Timing Belt + water Pump.
Does anyone of you already replace this ?
is it doable without too much difficult ?
Thank you very much.
Sorry for my English.
Eric
Your link to the 2005 CRd is pretty good but bear in mind that there are some differences between 2.8 L models....USA ones in particular....and the early Export 2.5 CRD.
So have a look at the service manual specificaly for the Export CRD models...
You can download it here...it is the section marked "2.5_2.8 Export Diesel".
Procedure is basically the same as the 2005 models.....you ideally need to get hold of all the correct tools to lock the gears in place
I am about to get my belt changed by the Dealers....only done about 30,000 Kms since last change but that was about 6.5 years ago and rubber deteriates with time....the idlers and tenstioner should be still OK....too difficult to get hold of the special tools here in SA so I have to use the Dealers.:shrug:

Best place for advice on the belt change is at the "Liberty CRD Tech Only" at:
LOST JEEPS • Index page
Or go to the "Liberty CRD Love that Torque" section on lostjeeps to ask questions.
As far as I remember on Lostjeeps...they only replace the front end of the water pump but always replace the idler and tenstioner pulleys.
