100,000km Service Pajero 3.2?

**Jesus Jones** · 28-05-2012, 02:47 PM

Just curious, but should the timing belt be changed at this stage? I assume it's not a timing chain. Is it worth changing anything else at this stage, anti-roll bar bushes etc?

100K probably just change the Trany, coolant, power steering and brake fluids. Check brake pads, also it's probably time to check valve clearances if it has solid lifters.
Don't worry about bushings unless you're hearing some new rattles from the suspension.
At 200+k depending on how hard the vehicle is used, expect things like wheel bearings, CV joints, water pump, brake rotors, turbo, strut cartridges/shocks.

300+k depending..., Ball joints, tie rod end, suspension bushings.

3.2 has a timing chain I think

If it's a belt change it .

Many mechanics say change belts every 100,000Kms and also say chains can stretch through wear.

^^given the cost of replacing the timing belt vs the cost of dealing with the resultant mess of a timing belt failure. It seems a no brainer

I had a Rover 2.0 litre diesel and the recommended replacement of the belt was 60,000 miles. As stated above, the replacement of the belt is essential to prevent potentially huge costs later.

I suspect your rover diesel had a rotary distributor pump
Belts used on common rail engines last a lot longer
Usually about 150,000km between recommended changes

My mondeo ST 200 in the UK was a chain. Ford didn't change as they said there was no need to. I did 150k miles in that motor with no trouble before i sold it. I just assumed the.Mits might be the same.
