Is there a timing belt or chain in the 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer?

Question

Accepted Answer

In 2006, the Mitsubishi Lancer was equipped with a 2.0 L 4-cylinder engine as standard, with an optional upgrade available to a 2.4 L 4-cylinder engine. Both models utilize a timing belt system. This year marked the final year that the vehicle used a belt; starting in 2007, all models switched to a chain system. The timing belt in this car should be replaced every 80,000 to 100,000 miles, likely requiring maintenance once or possibly twice during the vehicle's lifespan. A complete replacement belt kit, which also includes a new water pump, typically costs between $150 and $230.
