Second Hands: Mitsubishi Lancer X - Where is the Japanese Quality? Inexpensive sedan Mitsubishi Lancer X Lancer 10 sedan

Once the legendary Mitsubishi brand was blown away by the beginning of the 2000s and stopped pleaseing the fans of drive and expressive cars. They changed the measured generation without bright design and outstanding characteristics. An example of such a transformation was the tenth generation of Lancer. The fans of the previous generation were disappointed: the "dozen" became more complicated in the design, confused by the former reliability, maneuverability and excitement of the ninth generation disappeared. But comfort became a class higher, and the appearance answered modern at that time standards of automotive beauty. Most of the sales folded thanks to the history of the model. What the tenth generation comes to the secondary market, learn in the Lancer review.

The model is sold in Russia since 2007. During this time, she survived two restyling - in 2011 and 2015. In 2017, Lancer ceased to exist at all. Almost all sold on the secondary model - sedans, but occasionally you can meet Hetchi. Lancer IX was chosen for the budget and lack of global problems over a long period of operation. The "dozen" could not please those who moved to the older generation: to ride several hundred thousand kilometers without investments no longer succeeded. In Lancer x, it is not enough to simply pour a new oil, he needs a more surprise.

Engines

In the line of unsuccessful engines in the tenth generation was not. All serve 150-200 thousand km. before the first serious repair. Even a weak one and a half times, which is not suitable for a large sedan, it breaks at once. Yes, she will not be able to "give gas" and is suitable for the trips on the golf course, but not particularly demanding on the repair. Included with it there was a mechanical box, on which the bearings flew and often failed the electric power steering wheel.

Other gasoline engines turned out even more successful, more powerful and more reliable. The manufacturer offered to choose from: 1.5; 1.6; 1.8; 2.0 and 2.4 liters. They say that there are also diesel units on the secondary, but they rarely come across ads.

Without distressed places, Motors "Lancer" did not cost. Throttle is littered on two-liter engines, which is why the turnover jumps at idle. The movies of 1.8 and 2.0 to 65 thousand km are wearing the rollers of the belt of the attachment, and scores the belt. All motors on the mileage of over 100 thousand km flows the front crankshaft gland. This is fraught with the failure of the pulley of the crankshaft, which flows oil. Motor starts over a hundred kilometers. This is a graphite cutting pipe drawdown signal.

Mechanical gearboxes do not cause complaints, except for the one that is installed in a pair with a semi-liter motor. 1.5 and 1.6 also completed the usual automaton: old, leisurely and uneconomical, but reliable and "eternal" box. With these boxes you only need to change the oil on time - by 60-80 thousand km. Motors 1.8 and 2.0 installed the variator. If the previous owner has not enhanced the box with extreme driving, there is nothing to fear. In the heat and with a straight style driving in the box boils oil. Choose instances that are regularly serviced, and sellers that can confirm it. Other typical problems with the "Lancer" did not detect.

Body

Servicemen say that a thin layer of paint, which has been provided with the tenth "Lancers", holds quite a long time. The car is not prone to corrosion, if there were no mechanical damage. If the chips were painted blindly in dark garages, then under the layer of such body repair the new owner will be waiting for corrosion.

The height of the road lumen is only 165 mm, so the "skirts" and body kites on the "Lancers" are always sevenpanis or completely torn off. The size of Mitsubishi Lancer in length is 4570 mm - standard for the C-class sedan. The Lancer trunk will fit not so much - only 315 liters, which is significantly less than that of competitors.

Salon

The salon of the tenth "Lancer" remains in its original form for a long time. Partly the fact that nothing remarkable and innovative inside the "dozens" is not. Therefore, it will not be possible to determine the mileage in the interior.

An attractive and interesting interior design is not about Lancer. Inside the driver and passenger will feel minimalist: nothing superfluous. Sometimes so ascetic that even the necessary will not have enough. Plastic inside hard and matte.

On the second row of chairs is comfortable. There are enough place for the feet even high passengers, which you can not say about the space above your head. The rear sofa is designed for three, but it will be comfortable only slim and low fellow travelers.

Chassis

The suspension from the "Dozens" is noticeably more pleasant than that of the previous generation: it elastly passes irregularity and jumps through the "lying police". But in turns, the car is not able to keep the road, rolls in all directions. And this is not at all what you expect from the heir to the legendary rally past.

According to the reviews of the owners about Lancer, after 45 thousand km, it is necessary to change the native stabilizer bushings, 70 thousand km - the rear silent blocks. By 90 thousand, the stabilizer racks and front shock absorbers are dying. Well, if the previous owner chose high-quality analogs, and they pass as much as much.

In the rear suspension, the exterior silent blocks of transverse levers are firstmented - already 90 thousand km. The remaining details live to 150 thousand km.

Buy lancer x or not

We must possess good luck and luck to find an acceptable Mitsubishi Lancer with mileage. In attempts to resemble the heroes from the movie, the owners were charged on "dozens" to maximum, even if it were about a semi-liter engine. As a result, the market is full of cars after an accident of varying severity, with killed motors and tired boxes. Perhaps this is the main minus "Mitsubishi Lancer" of the anniversary and last generation.

The average cost of used "Lanseriers" - 381 thousand rubles for earlier models and 407.5 thousand rubles for copies of Ponunay. For this money, for example, the 2007 model is sold. With a mileage of 160 thousand km on a two-liter engine with 150 "horses":

Found another option - more expensive: the bright restyled lancer x 2012 with a motor 1.6 and 117 liters. from.:

According to the inspection of "autocodes", this blue handsome is sold with a full set of unwanted problems:

• The car visited the minimum of four officially registered accidents.
• According to official calculations, the car needed to be repaired by 1.8 million rubles.
• The auto imposed four registration restrictions prohibiting registration on the new owner;
• On the machine "hanging" two unpaid fine.

Brand fans are used to not spending money for service, so meet a car with high-quality care - happiness. Most copies have already spent their resource and therefore sold.

When buying, recheck all three times. And be sure to take a car for full diagnostics. Be carefull!

Mitsubishi Lancer is a legendary car with a serious history, one of the flagship models of the brand. At the moment, this is the only sedan, which is presented on the Russian market by the Japanese car giant Mitsubishi Motors. The model has been produced since 1973 and during the existence survived 10 total updates - the last generation of the sedan is also popular now, as well as the first generation of the car, despite the growing competition from new promising brands. Mitsubishi Lancer. It remains in demand by bright, recognizable design, thoughtful cabin comfort and outstanding technical characteristics.

Popular choice: Japanese sedan who will suit everyone

The reviews of the Japanese owners say that a sports appearance is most appreciated in Mitsubishi Lancer - the front part of the car is made in the company's corporate style "JET FIGHTER" ("Fighter"). The main focus is on the radiator lattice recognizable in all models, stylish halogen optics, consisting exclusively from direct bumper lines. The back attracts the attention of a massive trunk and an aerodynamic spoiler, which is present only in the extended configuration. Interior Mitsubishi Lancer It accommodates the maximum functional details, but it is characterized by conciseness. The choice of Japanese sedan engines pleases a variety: you can buy a car with a 1.6 liter engine and 117 liters. from. or with a 1.8-liter unit and 143 liters. from. respectively. Transmission switch - "Automatic", "Mechanics", variator. All versions of the model are front-wheel drive.

You can purchase the desired model and a complete set of a Japanese brand at the price of the official dealer in the Moscow Auto Show.

The official premiere of the Mitsubishi segment sedan in the face of the Lancer model of the tenth generation took place in January 2007 at the International Motor Show in Detroit. But the history of the model began a little earlier - in 2005, when the conceptual kara concept-x and Concept-Sportback was made on car dealerships in Tokyo and Frankfurt (according to their reasons and the car "in the tenth body" was created).

In 2011, Lancer 10 survived a small update, as a result of which he received point changes in appearance and interior, as well as improved noise insulation.

Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is endowed with a tightened and very successful appearance, from what an angle do not look at it. Even with a rather big age, it looks worthy and relevant against the backdrop of newer cars.

The front part of the sedan is made in the corporate style of Mitsubishi's brand called "Jet Fighter" (in the style of fighters), and aggression it adds a rained mouth of a radiator lattice with a chrome edging and predatory tracked optics (it is a pity that she has a completely halogen) .

The dynamic "combat" profile of the Japanese three-capacity will emphasize the long hood, a strongly inclined front rack of the roof and 16-inch "rollers" with 10 knitting needles (for a fee - 17-inch).

The back of Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is lanterns made in one style with front headlights and endowing it aggression, a somewhat heavy trunk and an expressive bumper.

Additional simplicity of sports in the appearance of the car can be made by means of aerodynamic linings on the thresholds and spectacular rear spoilers, which are available in the extended configuration.

The overall sizes of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 sedan bodies are stacked in the concept of C-class: 4570 mm in length, 1505 mm in height, 1760 mm in width. The wheel base of the car has 2635 mm, and the road clearance is 165 mm. Depending on the modification, the cutting mass of the sedan varies from 1265 to 1330 kg.

The interior of the "Tenth Lancer" looks modern, but no special eye clings. The steering wheel with three knitting needles was unified with other models of the brand, the place on it was found only the required minimum keys. The dashboard is most stylish, which is made in the form of two deep "wells" with a color display with a diagonal of 3.5 inches between them, covered with a wave-like visor.

The central console is made in a classic style, in terms of design there is no questions. A simple radio is integrated into the panel, so it is possible to replace it only on the original multimedia system. A button of the "Avaric" is observed just below, and even lower - three rotating handles and three climate control buttons. Everything is simple and thought out, the ergonomics in the literal sense will not be adhering to.

The interior of the sedan "Lancer 10" does not differ in high level of execution. Firstly, hard and not very pleasant plastic applied completely, and even in the top versions, the trim of the skin of the skin is not available, and secondly, it is not yet possible to see the clearances between the details).

The front seats have a good profile, although more reliable support on the sides clearly would not prevent them. The adjustment ranges are sufficient, but no more, places with a margin in all directions. The rear sofa is convenient for three, discomfort in the legs or in the width of passengers will not be able to feel, but the low ceiling will put pressure on the heads of the tall people.

The trunk of the Japanese sedan is small by the standards of Golf-Class - only 315 liters of useful volume. The form of it is not the most successful, the opening is narrow, the height is small - in general, large-sized items do not fit there. The back of the rear seat folds down with a floor, providing opportunities for the carriage of long. Under the "plywood" floor there was a full-size spare wheel on a stamped disk.

Specifications. For Mitsubishi Lancer 10, in 2015, two DOHC gasoline four-cylinder engines are available, each of which is equipped with control technology by electronics by MIVEC gas distribution phases and distributed injection ECI-MULTI.

• The first is a 1.6-liter unit that produces 117 horsepower forces of power and 154 nm of the limiting torque (at 4000 rpm). A 5-speed "mechanic" or a 4-range "automatic" is offered to it in Tandem, and all the thrust is sent to the front wheels. With such a "heart" under the hood, the sedan accelerates until the first hundred for 10.8-14.1 seconds, the maximum development of 180-190 km / h (the best indicators in both cases at the IPA version). Fuel consumption in combination mode varies from 6.1 to 7.1 liters.
• A more powerful 1.8 liter motor generates 140 "horses" and 177 nm peak thrust (at 4250 rpm). It is combined either all with the same mechanical transmission, or with a stepless CVT variator (drive - exclusively front). With "Mechanics" 140-strong Lancer dials 100 km / h 10 seconds and a maximum speed of 202 km / h, the flow rate of 7.5 liters of gasoline is 100 km in mixed mode. In the case of a variator, overclocking until the first hundred occurs at 1.4 seconds longer, and the maximum possibilities are lower by 11 km / h (fuel consumption is above just 0.3 liters).

Previously, it was also available: "sluggish" 1.5-liter 109-strong (with "mechanics" it was "nothing else", and with the "automatic" - just "no" in terms of dynamics); 2.0-liter 150-strong power unit and, "hurricane", 2.0-liter turbocharged 241-strong motor.

At the heart of the "Tenth" Mitsubishi Lancer lies "Global" platform Project Global, which was created by the joint efforts of Mitsubishi engineers and Daimler-Chrysler still during their cooperation. In the Arsenal of the Japanese sedan, a standard set of a modern car is listed: front McPherson with transverse stability stabilizers, rear - independent suspension with a multi-dimensional scheme.
Brakes on "Lancer" disk on all wheels, and in front of the same ventilated (front have a diameter of 15 inches, rear - 14 inches). The Rack Steering Mechanism is supplemented with a hydraulic amplifier.

Configuration and prices. In the Russian market in 2015, Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is offered in four configurations:

• The basic level of equipment called Inform is offered at a price of 719,000 rubles, and its equipment list includes two front airbags, ABS, on-board computer, power steering, four power windows, a regular audio system with AUX connector, as well as steel wheels of wheels.
• The INVITE version is available only with a 117-strong engine at a price of 809,990 rubles per car with mechanics or 849,990 rubles with a "automatic". Such a car is supplemented with air conditioning, electric and heating of external mirrors, heated the front seats and armrest between the front chairs.
• For Lancer 10 in the version of Invite + offer the entire range of engines and gearboxes, and asking for it from 849,990 to 939,990 rubles. The prerogative of such a configuration is fog lights, the wheels of light alloys, closed in the skin of the multi-steering wheel and lever.
• Intense's top solution will cost 919,990 to 969,990 rubles (depending on the adjustable transmission engine). In addition to all of the above, such a sedan suggests aerodynamic overlays on the thresholds, the spoiler on the trunk, side airbags and the airbag for the drivers' knees.

By the way - 2015 became the last for the tenth generation "Lancer" in the Russian market, and in December 2017 its production was discontinued in Japan.

Good day. In today's article, I will tell about the weak points of Mitsubishi Lancer 10 ( Mitsubishi. Lancer. X). We agree on the shore - the article is written by a dealer, the author has no longer experience in operating period 10 Lancer, but the ninth Lancer he owned more than 2 years.

Mitsubishi Lancer X debuted back in 2007, and since then the world has developed a huge number of Japanese cars, which now with enviable regularity are found in the used vehicles. The "tenth" lancer x and now looks quite pretty. And that is why Lancer X with mileage without difficulty find new owners. He plays a Japanese car and its high reliability. However, the Mitsubishi Lancer x 10 cannot be called very trouble-free operation.

Body problems and LCP.

The Lancer X body metal is quite thin, but even on the oldest versions of the Japanese car spots rust you will not see. Is that in the area of \u200b\u200bthe trunk can be discovered several "spiders". All due to the fact that moisture enters the trunk through the rear lights loosely adjacent seals.

Well, the classic of the genre - Thresholds:

But the paintwork of the Lancer X body cover could be more resistant to external influence. Almost all cars are full of small scratches and chips. Another minus is a soft plastic of the front headlights. Over time, he is furious, which makes the Lancer x a little cold. Fortunately, if you wish and return them to the former transparency.
Inside Mitsubishi Lancer X will not inspire. The Salon of the Japanese car is made of frankly cheap hard plastic, which in time begins to a freshly creak. When buying a car, pay attention to the condition of the armrests. The fabric on them is quickly rubbed, so that according to her state, you can indirectly judge the real mileage of the car.

Weak electrical equipment Lancer 10.

Electrical equipment Mitsubishi Lancer X as a whole works without comments. Only after 5-6 years of operation can be checked quite expensive motor fan motor. On some cars, there were problems with electrical heating seats and a mechanism for folding rearview mirrors. The benefit that they did not receive mass distribution.

Engine reliability.

Of all the engines that were installed on a Japanese car, the most unsuccessful will have to recognize the gasoline power unit with a volume of 1.5 liters. The main problem of this power unit is to block the piston rings, which leads to increased consumption of engine oil. So after 60 thousand kilometers of mileage, Mitsubishi Lancer X owners will have to periodically monitor the oil level.

The remaining engines offered for Lancer X are not affected by oil glitter. And if possible, it is better to stop their choice on them. An ideal option for a Japanese car can be considered a 1.8 liter gasoline engine. With competent maintenance, he calmly maintains 250-300 thousand kilometers. Approximately the same resource also has a two-liter gasoline power unit. The undoubted plus of these engines is the fact that in their gas distribution mechanism, a chain is used, which years does not require attention.

Although no small problems do not do in this case. Delicate throttle block will have to clean every 30-40 thousand kilometers. After a run of 50-70 thousand kilometers, it is still more and more often to pay attention to the state of the belt of mounted units. And to change in the case of which not only it will have, but also videos. To run 100-150 thousand kilometers on Lancer X, as a rule, the front seal of the crankshaft begins to hilt.

Weak places in the transmission.

The GETRAG F5M transmission mechanical transmission box, which is paired with a 1.5-liter engine, has proven itself not too well. Many owners complained that the clutch in the box had to be changed after 40-50 thousand kilometers. The bearings of the primary shaft were not too survivable. AISIN gearbox manual, which was installed on the Lancer X version with two other gasoline engines, much more reliable. Although in it after a run 100 thousand kilometers of transmission, it is started to switch with a little effort. Frequently often on Mitsubishi Lancer X can be found and. He does not deliver special problems. Only occasionally the owners complain that the variator does not switch the transmission modes. This happens because of the poor contact of the selector. However, it is important to understand that the repair of the variator in the case of which it will cost more such on the "mechanics". So before buying a car with a variator, it is better to spend thorough diagnosis of this node. And already during operation, try not to overheat the transmission and periodically check the purity of its radiator. In addition, every 70-80 thousand in the variator will have to change quite expensive oil. If you follow all these advice, the stepless transmission may be able to withstand from 250-300 thousand kilometers. The same resource has a four-step "automatic" JATCO, which was installed on Mitsubishi Lancer X with a 1.6 liter gasoline engine.

Suspension reliability.

The suspension of the Japanese car is reliable. But to extend the service life, try to periodically clean it from sand and salt. It is precisely because of them prematurely begins to creak the racks and bushings of the stabilizer. Before restyling, the most complaints of the owners of the Lancer X collected the front, which in some cars were withstanding only 30-40 thousand kilometers. After updating the car, this problem was solved. Rack resource increased several times. The same situation and with hub bearings. On cars from the first parties, they endured only 60-80 thousand kilometers, but after a couple of years their resource became noticeably higher.

Steering problems.

The reliability of the steering of the Japanese car will have to talk with a light-up to this engine, which is installed under the hood. On vehicles with a basic semi-liter engine in a steering control instead of "hydraulics", an electrical inspector was installed. It is on these versions that the steering rail and thrust could begin to knock after 40-50 thousand kilometers of the mileage. However, owners of used cars fear of particularly nothing. Most of the problems managed to appear in the warranty period, so almost all cars expensive node was replaced by warranty.

About brakes.

In the brake system of the Japanese car, the most complaints enters the caliper guide brackets, which begin annoying brushing after 40-60 thousand kilometers. Otherwise, no problem should be. The interval of the replacement of disks and pads in the Lancer x is no different from that on car-competitors.

Outcome.

Mitsubishi Lancer X has weak points, but in fact they are not so much. Most classmates of the Japanese car unpleasant surprises present much more often, so buying Lancer X can be safely. But from the basic versions with a 1.5 liter engine, it is better to refuse, preferred by cars with more powerful power units with a volume of 1.8 and 2 liters.

In conclusion, I propose to see this video:

I have everything today. If you have something to supplement the article about the weak points of Mitsubishi Lancer 10 - Write a comment ...

Mitsubishi Lancer 10 (Mitsubishi Lancer X) - The tenth generation of one of the most popular models manufactured by the Japanese company Mitsubishi Motors. Lancer refers to those cars, without which it is no longer possible to introduce a modern auto industry. The previous generation of this car has become a real best-selling world market, and, rightly, is considered one of the most unpretentious cars in its class. The hero of today's review is no less in demand than the predecessor, but whether he has not yet failed reliability in the race for modern trends, now and try to find out.

A bit of history:

For the first time a car with the name Lancer (A70) appeared on the market back in 1973. Initially, the novelty thought, as a transitional model for filling the lumen in the company's model range between the compact Hatchback Minica and Galant Sedan, and was created on the basis of Mitsubishi Colt. The car was presented in three types of body - sedan, coupe and wagon. A distinctive feature of this model from other representatives of the company was the presence of disc brakes of all wheels, using a trauma-safe steering column and a 98-strong engine with two carburetners - Mitsubishi Lancer 1600 GSR. The rally version with a 165 hp engine was also released, which in 1973 took the first four places in the Australian Rally, and a year later won the East African Safari Rally.

The debut of the serial version of Mitsubishi Lancer 10 took place in 2007 on the roadshow in Detroit. However, the appearance of new items and its appearance became known in 2005, after the premiere of Concept-CX (it was shown at the Tokyo Motor Show) and Concept-Sportback (debuted at the auto show in Frankfurt). When developing a novelty, the "Project Global" trolley was taken, which previously successfully passed the approbation on. This car generation was endowed with a unique memorable appearance, therefore it became one of the most successful in the history of the model. In addition to the original design, Lancer 10 was endowed with a safe Body of RISE, made according to a unique technology (the rigidity of the cassetting increased by 56%, to bend - 50%). However, there were details for which the novelty was significantly inferior to previous generation - noise insulation, interior decoration and driving quality.

In 2010, the model survived the first restyling, during which minor technical changes were carried out. A year later, the manufacturer made changes in the exterior of the car - new 10-spoke wheel discs appeared, the bumper architecture and the framing of the radiator grille (chrome finish appeared), expanded the line of power units. Update in 2014 was aimed at eliminating some technical shortcomings - anticians of shock absorbers appeared, the ability to change steering thrust (earlier the part was assembled with the rail), the reliability of the hub bearings increased, etc. In 2018, it was announced to terminate the production of this model generation.

Problem places and disadvantages of Mitsubishi Lancer 10 with mileage

The paint coating of the body is mild and subtle because of which it painfully transfers even a meeting with branches of bushes (scratched). Due to the fact that the body quickly loses their presentable species, the owners often spend cosmetic repairs, repainting the problem details, because of this, to identify the battered machine more difficult. When examining cars in which cosmetic repairs were carried out, check the gaps, openings, the integrity of the suture sealant and look for a putty. Said the manufacturer and on external body panels - the thickness and strength of steel leaves much to be desired. To corrosion, body iron is not clock, but it is more merit galvanizing than the metal itself. Despite the good corrosion protection to leave the chips for a long time not worthless, since they can still appear Ryzhiki. The faster rust affects the thresholds, the hood, the edge of the roof and the arches, the lid of the trunk, the seams of the doors, the joints between the wings and bumpers.

It will be worthwhile to pay attention to the bottom of the car. Rotary Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is still a rarity, but certain deposits can already be for this. In the absence of proper care and additional processing, anticorrosive eventually begin to corrode the arches niches, spars, brackets, seams and niche near the fuel tank. In the engine compartment, seams and glasses are a reason for concern. From other minuses it is worth highlighting the softness of the protective plastic front optics, which, besides, the quality of the light beam is reduced due to years, due to which the quality of the light beam is reduced. Polishing will help to return the Farm to the Farm, and to protect against scratches will have to glue the film. It is still worth allocating such trouble as a leakage of fog, the backlash in the door handles, the unreliability of fastening the mirrors and the front door seals.

Power units

In our market, Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is found with gasoline engines 1.5 (4A91 109 hp), 1.6 (4A92 117 hp), 1.8 (4B10 143 hp), 2.0 (4B11 150 hp) and 2.4 (4b12). Rarely, but still, the diesel versions 2.0 Di-D (136 hp) come across (136 hp). I will say that all engines of this model are reliable and with proper care of significant surprises are not presented.

Petrol

In gasoline engines there is one common disease - the sealing ring is quickly roasted between the collector and the catalyst, because of this, unpleasant sounds appear during acceleration. No vitality and ignition coils are not distinguished (symptoms - the car is badly started). It is also worth noting the throttle sensitive to pollution - it is recommended to clean every 30-40 thousand kilometers. The first annual release machines on the instrument panel can not light up the "Check" indicator - the firmware update is treated. Since these engines do not have hydrocomathers, every 80-100 thousand km need to adjust the thermal gaps of the valves. In machines with HBO, this procedure should be carried out more often. If this does not do this eventually hang valve.

The most problematic in the ruler is considered Stock Moots of the series 4A9 - 1.5 and 1.6 liters. The main disadvantage of these DVS is the inclination of the piston rings to the crook - leads to an increase in oil consumption. If this nuisance is not to follow in the future, the massello can adversely affect the rustic-piston-piston group resource (inserts are rotated, loops appear). No reliability and timing chain, which often needs to be replaced by 100-150 thousand miles of mileage (stretched). Approximately the same as the oscilts of the crankshaft and gaskets. If you tighten with the elimination of the leaks, the flowing oil will kill the pulley of the drive belts. On average, the resource of motors is 300,000 km, but with competent services are able to withstand up to 400,000 km.

The 4B1 series engines are also not deprived of the problems causing the progressive mass supply, but here it is manifested after 200,000 km of run. Of the disadvantages of these OBS, the owners most often note the increased noise of work and a tendency to vibrations. Machines with a large mileage of problems can deliver the exhaust system (wall roasted) and the timing chain (stretched). At the age Mitsubishi Lancer 10, it is necessary to monitor the state of wiring and nozzle connectors (broken). If you do not follow the catalyst and oil level, the likelihood of the appearance of scaling in the cylinders is high. In the engine 2.4, the reason for the appearance of the jacket is aggressive operation without preheating. The signal on the presence of the problem will be tapping on an immentable engine. These motors and small troubles, such as leaks of gaskets and seals, damage to the nozzles, etc. The resource is about 450000 km.

Diesel

Diesel versions were equipped with an upgraded two-liter engine of the EA188 series, borrowed from the VAG concern. Of the main problems faced by the owners of diesel Mitsubishi Lancer 10, it is necessary to highlight the rapid wear of fuel equipment, the hexagon of the oil pump, the valve of the USR and the filter of solid particles (the diesel engine is only at the BSY motor). Also, there are also cases of lubricant loss due to the burst oil supply nozzle into an oil radiator and a turbocharger failure, but these ailments are usually found on large runs. In addition, this diesel is famous for its good oil appetite, which can reach 1 liter per thousand mileage.

Transmission

For Mitsubishi Lancer 10 three types of gearboxes - mechanics, automatic transmission and variator were available. Oddly enough, it will sound, but the most problems are the 5-speed MCPP, which works in a pair with motors 1.5 and 1.6. In this box, in addition to the unreliable synchronizers, bearings, couplings and gears, a fairly weak case. Before buying a car with such a box, you must listen to the box, whether there is a buzz in it (it is desirable to check on the lift). It is also necessary to watch the oil, whether there are no pieces of metal and a gray mud. But the manual transmission, which combined with motors 1.8 and 2.0, turned out to be more enduring. Of the general problems of mechanics, weak drive seals can be distinguished (flow) and the noise of work when switching gear.

Among the automatic gearboxes, the 4-step automaton F4A51 received the highest distribution. This transmission is sufficiently reliable and with timely service, it does not particularly fully documented up to 300,000 km. From the weak points of the AKP it is worth highlighting the pump, speed sensor and seals. On large runs of 200000+, malfunctions are possible in the work of solenoids, hydroblock, planetary gears and brake ribbons. It should be noted that this machine does not like dirty oil, overheating and sharp starts. The JF613E six-step for our market is rare, since it was installed only in diesel versions and with a gasoline engine 2.4. The main problem of this automaton is rapid wear of frictional, particles of which are packed by KP, scoring oil canals, solenoids and hydrabs. Despite this, owners varying the oil every 30-40 thousand km, the box is caught up with about 200,000 km without substantial repairs.

But the reliability of the Jatco JF011E variator largely depends on the quality of service (it is recommended to change the lubricant once between 40-60 thousand km) and operating conditions. With proper care and proper operation, the variator will serve about 250,000 kilometers. This transmission painfully transfers work in traffic jams and on long distances - overheats (after overheating it is recommended to replace as early as possible to oil in the transmission). Solenoids, shaft bearings, stepmot, spline compounds of the planetary transmission and frictional compounds are surrendered in this unit. With an aggressive ride manner, the belt is quickly stretched and the cones are damaged (appears), after which the box will be cheaper to change on a used one to repaired. Sounds of malfunction of the unit will serve foreign sounds, jerking and hanging. Also, the faithful signs of the ambulance is the presence of small metal particles at the tip of the oil probe and the smell of Gary.

Resource suspension, steering and brakes Mitsubishi Lancer 10

This model is equipped with an independent suspension with MacPherson racks ahead and a multi-dimensional design of the back. The chassis of Mitsubishi Lancer 10 has a good resource and adapted to domestic operating conditions. Of the weaknesses it is worth highlighting the rear springs, which are seated after 120-150 thousand km. Otherwise, the suspension resource is above average. Stands of the stabilizer go about 30-50 thousand km, bushings up to 60,000 km. The front shock absorbers and support bearings are grabbed by 80-100 thousand km. Silent blocks of levers, hub bearings and ball supports are kept more - 100-120 thousand km. Silent blocks of the subframe need to be replaced after 15,000,000 km. Multi-phase gums with moderate loads hold 100-120 thousand km. But the rear shock absorbers and bearings of the hubs (changing assembly with the hub) are able to serve to 150 thousand km. Longitudinal levers need to be replaced every 150-200 thousand km. It is worth noting that the breakdown bolts and convergence are prone to zero.

The weak point in the steering is the rail, which will often give yourself to know the appearance of knocks on the first hundred thousand kilometers. Closer to 150,000 miles of rack starts to flow. Buying original details business cost - $ 600-700, good, Reika Repairability (Repairs costs $ 150-250). Even the disadvantages include a small resource of steering tips. It is not distinguished by exemplary reliability and electric power steering, which are equipped with versions with 1.5 engine - starts to get closer to 150,000 km (the part does not repair). The remaining versions are equipped with a classic GUR, which, with regular maintenance and absence of leaks, the highway does not deliver.

Brakes at Mitsubishi Lancer 10 reliable, but the owners of the car with top engines often raise the inadequate effectiveness of the braking system and the rapid wear of the pads (30,000 km) and discs (50-70 thousand km). The calipers are very afraid of dirt, since the covers of the fingers are weak here (it is necessary to change 4-5 years). The "elderly" copies are possible to subdinition of the rear brakes due to the overclocking of the pistons of the brake mechanisms. The ABS block also requires focus (when driving on the puddles) and sensors with wiring.

Salon

Mitsubishi Lancer Lancer 10 finishing materials are quite budgetary, and the quality of the assembly leaves much to be desired - poorly fitted front panel seams, and in places of attachment there are backlash! There are complaints and on the wear resistance of some elements of the interior decoration. So, for example, on inserts under aluminum, door handles, steering wheel braid and lever, traces of wear appear on the first 100,000 kilometers. Not much longer withstands the upholstery of armrests and front armchairs. There are complaints and acoustic comfort - the Salon eventually begins to grow and creak. Exacerbates the situation lack of normal noise insulation. Due to the fact that under the carpet naked metal, in a strong frost flashed legs. On the age car, the cables of the door locks and the opening of the trunk can be asked for the ages of the door and the opening of the trunk.

The electrical equipment of the car is generally reliably and dues infrequently. After 5-7 years, it makes itself fan fan motor fan (starts to swell). Approximately the same as the heating elements of seats, rear windows and the mechanisms of folding the outer mirrors. In the machines released until 2009, the mechanism of the windows could turn together with the door frame (drove the mounting bolts). This ailment was eliminated under warranty, but there were those who were limited to regular tightening bolts. Therefore, in the event of an emergence of extraneous noises when the windows is working, check the status of the fasteners. Mitsubishi Lancer 10-equipped headache is added to the system with air conditioning - flow. Over the years, the quality of the image of the rear view camera is worse. The problem, as a rule, lies in the insufficient tightness of the part (the fee is oxidized). No reliability and wiring is not distinguished. Most of all are subject to damage to the wiring of the doors and the subcarrane space (insulation cracks, are shredded, etc.). Connectors are considered quite problematic (tightened, oxidized, latches broken).

Outcome:

Mitsubishi Lancer 10 stylish and quite reliable car, the only thing that spoils the image of a high-quality Japanese car is the low quality electrical wiring, finishing and assembly of the cabin. Even the disadvantages of the car include the high cost of original spare parts.

Advantages:

• Bright memorable sport design
• Reliable suspension
• Automatic transmission
• Galvanized body

Disadvantages:

• Soft metal
• Weak noiseylation on cars until 2011 release
• The quality of the interior finish
• Large fuel consumption on version with Motor 2.0, in the city of 12 - 14 liters per hundred
