Hi,

I'm not familiar with this vehicle, but if it has an overhead cam, yes, timing needs to be done.

This model isn't offered in the US, so I have no technical information. If you take a few pics of the engine, I should be able to confirm that for you.

I do have information on their 3.8L engine. Is this a V6?

Let me know.
