    Does the 2008 Mitsubishi Pajero 3.2-litre diesel have a cam timing chain or a belt?

    It has a timing chain, which doesn't need to be replaced as a toothed belt does, but it's worth checking the timing chain guides as they wear and if the wear is allowed to become excessive they can fail and possibly jam the chain, which could cause significant and expensive damage to the engine. Around 90,000 km seems to be the danger period where failures can occur.
