   Timing chain failure reported on 2014 Outlander 2.3 diesel at 45,000 miles: Developed a knocking sound from the engine a week before the warranty ran out at its MoT. Could not book it in to the Mitsubishi dealer until 2 weeks later so out of warranty. Told they would strip the engine as they suspected it was the crankshaft or timing chain. They then submitted their report to Mitsubishi to check if the warranty would cover it. They said this would depend on the services and if these had been kept up to date. The car had 3 services (one a year) but because it had done 45000 miles it should have had 5 (one per 9000 miles). Apparently this is a known fault on high mileage police traffic patrol cars. But because of the missed service Mitsubishi refused to contribute to the £3,000 cost of repairing the engine.
