I just picked up a 2008 Avenger with the 2.4 VVT engine. Pretty clean car, other than the typical bubbles on the hood leading edge. Car has about 200K highway miles on it - owner was pretty anal about regular oil changes, etc. Any Mopar techs have any info as to the recommended engine mechanical maintenance on them? I know the PT Loser 2.4's needed the typical timing belt/water pump/head gasket/head bolt service at about 125K - what about the 2.4 VVT engines? Do they need the same sarvices at "X" miles? Thanks for any info you can provide about the driveline of these cars.
