As one of the most common engines in Jeep models over the past few years, Jeep’s 2.0-liter MultiJet engine has always seemed like a kind of low-end option. However, the reliability of this diesel engine quickly surfaced and it’s no wonder that we are now seeing so many Jeep vehicles powered by it.

Of course, it has a few issues here and there like every other engine, so this guide will help you keep it running smoothly with the Jeep 2.0L (119 cu in) MultiJet firing order. We’ll do our best to explain why it’s so important and how you can use it for the benefit of your Jeep car.

Jeep 2.0L MultiJet firing order

Being a four-cylinder diesel engine, the Jeep 2.0L MultiJet firing order is 1-3-4-2, so it’s just like Jeep’s petrol-powered four-cylinder engines. However, the big difference here is that the MultiJet doesn’t use spark plugs, so you won’t do much with the firing order in that sense.

However, you can still apply the firing order to check the engine by its cylinder order and see if there’s a reason for stalling cold start issues, or even oil leaks. It’s best to observe each cylinder by closely following hte firing order, but how do you determine the cylinder numbering?

Another important thing that you’ll want to know besides the Jeep 2.0L MultiJet firing order is its cylinder layout. These engines feature the same overall layout as the four-cylinder gasoline engines, so it goes from the first cylinder to the fourth cylinder in a straight line.

The cylinders are laid out front to back looking from the perspective of being in front of the engine, so you’ll find the first cylinder right at the front close to the radiator.

Jeep 2.0L MultiJet vehicle applications

Being one of the bargain options for Jeep vehicles, the 2.0-liter diesel engine has found its way under the hood of numerous Jeep models. So, here’s the full list just to make sure that you are using the right firing order for your Jeep car:

  • Jeep Compass
  • Jeep Renegade
  • Jeep Commander
  • Jeep Meridian
  • Jeep Cherokee KL

So, now you’ll know what to do if you own one of these Jeep models powered by a four-cylinder diesel engine, and the larger 2.2-liter MultiJet also features the same firing order.

Our take

Well, we hope that you’ll find this guide on the Jeep 2.0L MultiJet firing order helpful since our team put its soul and expertise into it.

Make sure to also properly apply the firing order by considering the cylinder numbering scheme for this particular engine if you need to follow up on each cylinder.
