I'm going to have the Timing Belt and water pump done on my 05 Liberty Sport CRD. I have heard from mechanics and on this forum that sometimes the new parts have been inferior. I am looking for recommendations on what parts kit to order, where to order it, and what part kits to avoid. Any help will be appreciated.

Best deal on a kit that I know of is idParts http://idparts.com/catalog/product_info ... 9gsmfhter6 . $399 + shipping for all you need to do timing belt and water pump and all quality parts.

Thanks, I just ordered the kit from them.

Now I gotta find the special tool cause my mechanic doesn't have it. Can it be done without that?

There are lots of people/places that rent them, where are you geographically?

Idparts.com is awesome for selling this stuff at a good deal!
I just ordered a timing belt idler since I am getting a howel from that area and I used their free shipping (nice option!) be aware that the free shipping is a super discounted shipping option and it is estimated to take over 2 weeks to arrive!
