The Mitsubishi Pajero is renowned for its off-road prowess, robust design, and long-lasting performance. However, like all high-performance SUVs, even the toughest vehicles may experience engine problems—especially in the challenging environment of Dubai. Whether it’s due to high mileage, extreme heat, or neglected maintenance, engine repair is a critical service every Pajero owner should take seriously.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover the common engine issues in Mitsubishi Pajero vehicles, how to identify them early, and why MetaMechanics is the trusted name in engine repair services in Dubai.
Why Mitsubishi Pajero Engines Need Specialized Care in Dubai
Dubai’s climate and road conditions pose unique challenges for engine health:
-
Extreme Heat increases engine temperature and accelerates wear.
-
Desert Driving introduces dust and debris into the intake system.
-
Urban Traffic leads to frequent idling and stress on engine components.
-
High-Speed Highway Use demands consistent power output.
To ensure your Pajero performs flawlessly, regular inspections and timely engine repairs are essential.
Common Mitsubishi Pajero Engine Problems
If you own a Pajero, here are some engine issues you might encounter:
1. Overheating
Often caused by a faulty radiator, thermostat, or low coolant. Overheating can quickly lead to severe engine damage.
2. Engine Misfire
Dirty spark plugs, fuel injector problems, or faulty ignition coils can cause jerky acceleration or poor fuel economy.
3. Oil Leaks
Valve cover gasket leaks and oil seal failures are common. Low oil levels can result in engine knocking or failure.
4. Timing Chain Noise
A loose or worn timing chain can make rattling noises and, if ignored, lead to serious engine damage.
5. Turbocharger Issues (for diesel models)
Lack of maintenance can cause turbo lag or complete failure in diesel Pajero engines.
6. Smoke from Exhaust
Blue, black, or white smoke indicates burning oil, excess fuel, or coolant leakage into the combustion chamber.
