Jeep Cherokee motor

kelmak, Nov 11, 7:57am
Our 2002 jeep Cherokee 3.7 litre petrol has a blown motor, we are having trouble finding a replacement. Is there any other motor that will fit?

Probably not worth the hassle due to certification costs. Is it not repairable?

Garage said it needed a whole new motor, maybe I should get another garage to check it out

A few other vehicles use the same motor, if that helps to widen your search.

Would like to know what is actually wrong to require a "whole new motor"

Going by prices they want for used ones , probably not worth fixing unless get second hand motor but that could be a hand grenade too . Flog it off & buy something else .

Wasn't told the exact reasons however one was a complete recondition that did less than 1,000km and it exploded.
The mech who had it in his shop for work on the 4th motor said the owner had simply given up on the thing and wanted to sell it. Last I heard it was destined for the crusher.
Next time I see him I'll make further enquiry.
