Parts for your 1999 Mitsubishi Pajero-Drive belt

1999 Mitsubishi Pajero drive belt — what it does and when to service it

Yes, a drive belt is absolutely fitted to the 1999 Mitsubishi Pajero. Technical sources including the Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero factory workshop manual for 1997–1999 models, and Australian application catalogues from Gates and Dayco, all list accessory drive belts for the alternator, power steering pump and air-conditioning compressor across the 1999 petrol V6 and 2.8 diesel variants. That makes the drive belt a routine service item, not an optional extra.

The drive belt’s job is to transfer engine rotation to essential accessories. On a ’99 Pajero it typically runs the alternator to keep the battery charged, the power steering pump for lighter steering, and the A/C compressor for cool air. Depending on engine and market, the vehicle may use a single multi‑rib belt or a set of separate belts. None of these belts drive the camshafts
