Mitsubishi Repair & Service in Dubai
Pajero and Montero Sport for the desert, Lancer Evolution for the road — timing belts, 4WD systems and gearboxes
Mitsubishi’s reputation in the UAE rests on two cars. The Pajero is a durable 4x4 with Super Select four-wheel drive, used for desert work and long distances. The Lancer Evolution, from the 4G63-engined Evo I–IX to the Evo X with the 4B11T and a dual-clutch gearbox, is a rally-derived car that is now a collector and tuning favourite.

Timing belts
The Pajero 3.8 V6 (6G75) and the Evo’s 4G63 use timing belts on interference engines. If a belt fails, the valves hit the pistons. In heat, belts and tensioners age on time as much as on kilometres. The 4G63 also has a balance-shaft belt. We replace belts, tensioners, idlers and the water pump together.
Super Select 4WD
Pajero and Montero Sport use Super Select: 2H, 4H with an open or viscous centre differential, a lockable centre, and low range. Transfer-case fluid, actuator function and the 4WD indicator switches are the usual items, especially after sand use.
Evo X TC-SST gearbox
The 6-speed TC-SST dual-clutch on the Evo X needs regular fluid changes. Harsh shifts and clutch-pack wear increase with launch control and power upgrades. Mechatronic faults show as warnings and limp mode. We read adaptation data and service before any hardware decision.
AYC and ACD
Evolutions use Active Yaw Control (rear differential torque vectoring) and Active Centre Differential. Both depend on a hydraulic pump and clean fluid. AYC pump failure is a known issue on older cars.
Tuned Evos
The 4G63 and 4B11T are often tuned. Rod bearings, fuel delivery and cooling need attention proportional to power. We work on tuned cars and tell you the risk any modification adds.
What we check
- Timing-belt age, tensioner and water pump (6G75, 4G63)
- Super Select transfer case and actuator
- TC-SST fluid and clutch data (Evo X)
- AYC / ACD pump and fluid
- Cooling and fuel on tuned Evos
- CV boots and bearings after desert use

Questions
When should my Pajero’s timing belt be changed?
Per the schedule for kilometres or years, whichever comes first. In Dubai heat, time matters. Change the tensioner, idlers and water pump at the same time.
My Evo X shifts harshly. Is the SST gearbox failing?
Not necessarily. Old fluid and adaptation often cause it. We read clutch and adaptation data and service before deciding on any repair.
Can you work on a tuned Evo?
Yes. We service and repair tuned Evos and are transparent about the risk a modification adds.
What should be checked on a Pajero after sand driving?
Transfer-case fluid and actuator, CV boots, bearings, brakes, radiator and underbody.
Are you a Mitsubishi dealer?
No. Bella Motor is an independent workshop, not affiliated with or authorised by Mitsubishi.
