Cam Belt Does the Mitsubishi Outlander 2004 - 2.4 Petrol Engine have a Cam Belt or a Timing Chain? If it is a belt - what is the change frequency? Thanks Bill.

Hi Kevin, Mate I had a look on youtube and all those 2.4L motors are belt driven... The two youtube videos links below are of a 2003 Mitsubishi Galant 2.4L with a timing belt and the next is a Mitsubishi 2.4L sohc with a timing belt, I hope this helps.....CHEERS.

How to Remove and Replace the Timing belt and Water Pump Mitsubishi 2 4L...

Inside timing belt cover

If you know about timing belt driven water pumps.. you know that you have to reset your timing on the engine. If you think you can. Tear it down.. replace the pump. And go onto the internet and find that engine and ask for timing marks.. reset them.. and all will be fine.. hope this helps.

60,000 Miles - it's a belt and it's an interference engine!

It is suggested by any mechcanic to perform this maintenace every 80,000 miles if you properbly maintain your vehicle. That mean going by the owners manual suggestions. Also I would highly recomend changing the water pum as well for it runs off this belt and water pumps only last as long as the belt will also. If a new belt is installed without a new water pump it may fail in no time. I seen it happen more than a dozen times in the past ten years

Double check the torque on your bolts.

The vehicle has a belt and should be changed every 60,000 miles.

This engine has a timing belt.Once you have removed the engine front cover , turn the engine to the marks as shown in the diagram.Lock the crankshaft in this position with an old reverse light switch from the gearbox by inserting it into the hole under the bell housing (manual transmission).Before removing the belt , loosen 3 bolts on the injector pump after you locked this with a 8.5 mm drill bit.Replace the belt and pull the tensioner to 16 Nm.If you are fitting a whole pulley replacement kit take note of the upgraded spacers and their position.Dont forget to tighten the injector pump bolts again after you tensioned the belt and recheck your timing marks.
