Only 22,000 km after having the timing belt replaced at an authorized Mitsubishi workshop it broke suddenly while driving calmly down a country road. The engine was completely destroyed and needed to be replaced. When I talked to the workshop they said that the balance belts have been known to go on these trucks, so they started producing a different kind of balance belt recently. If you are really unlucky the balance belt can break and take the timing belt with it, ruining the whole engine. That’s apparently what happened to me. Since the incident I’ve heard of two other L200’s of the same generation that had the same problem. In Sweden a new engine costs 60,000 SEK plus 30,000 SEK in labor costs at a workshop to be replaced.
