Regarding the Rodeo 2008 LX Diesel - these are Thai built aren't they?
More importantly, do they have a timing chain or belt? I just can't quite find reliable intel on that.
Answered by CarsGuide
25 Oct 2024Yes, like the vast majority of dual-cab utes sold in Australia, the Holden Rodeo was indeed built in Thailand, at the Isuzu plant (the Rodeo was an Isuzu D-Max under the skin apart from the petrol V6 version which used a Holden-made engine). But diesel Rodeos used the Isuzu 4JJ1 four-cylinder diesel which used a timing chain rather than a rubber toothed timing belt. As such, the chain should be good for the life of the engine.
