Typical Mitsubishi Lancer IX diseases. Mitsubishi Lancer IX with mileage: Motors with appetite and automatic transmission, which does not break down the weak points of Lancer 9

And the agile majority of cars are equipped with "mechanics", although the "automatic" box is excellent there, and its resource is probably even more than that of the MCPP. The transmission of front-wheel drive cars is generally very reliable. In the risk zone, only shruses: their covers tend to scatter, you need to follow both.

In all-wheel drive machines, the design is more complicated, an angular gearbox with "distribution" has quite a lot of vulnerable places, especially since they are usually worth with powerful engines from Evolution. The killed slots, twisted shortcuts and the cardan - the phenomena are quite ordinary if the owner has been lazy to put the tuning knot after the "swap" of the motor. But those who build Evo from their "nine", these problems up to the light bulb. Although notice: these nodes can be easily delivered with Airtrek (it is Outlander in the left-hand version) - there were many all-wheel drive, and the items are not too expensive.

On machines with the manual transmission usually do not expect difficulties. And here Lancer IX and causes his cunning blow below the belt. Motors 1.3 and 1.6 liters relieve MCPP series F5M41-1-V7B3 and 5M41-1-R7B5, respectively. They reach 100-150 thousand kilometers without much difficulties, but then bearing noise begin to appear. As a rule, they are binding to the release bearing, but after its replacement, nothing is usually changed. In most cases, it helps the replacement of the bearings of the primary shaft, but sometimes the owners adjust the case before replacing the front of the MCPP housing, and after 150-200 thousand mileage it is already possible to wear couplings and synchronizers.

It is necessary to monitor the differential, and the oil is worth changing more often - for example, every thousand 40-50 kilometers, which is not typical for the manual box. I am glad that this operation is inexpensive.

MCPP from the "European" two-liter cars of the F5M42-2-R7B6 series and F5M42-2-R7B4 often begin to make noise after 50-70 thousand mileage. The chances are that the body is damaged, is also higher than in the case of a manual transmission with "small" motors. There are few contract units, but there is a way out: instead of all the "killed" F5M42-2-R7B6 and F5M42-2-R7B4, you can safely put boxes from 2,4 and 1.8 liters. In some models of the W5M31-1 series, or even KM220 or a little more expensive and new W5M42 will be covered here.

Box replacements can be avoided if not tightening with replacing bearings, after which the box is still thousands of 40-50 mileage. Unfortunately, accurate assembly and testing of all seating surfaces are important here. To achieve factory quality (and therefore resource) is obtained.

Please note that by buying a car, you can easily get an instance with an already noisy box, which poured the additives to reduce noise. In this case, repairing or changing the manual transmission will have to you. Any suspicion about noise should be immediately interpreted in favor of great repairs.

With "automata" everything is much easier. With 1.6 liter engines on Russian cars stood a reliable automatic transmission of the F4A4A-1-N2Z series, and the F4A4B-1-J5Z was installed with a two-liter engine. In essence, this is the same unit. If you want to find the documentation for this box, it is best to search for another name - F4A42, it is common to the entire series and allows you to find all compatible version of automatic transmission. They put them not only on Mitsubishi cars, but also on Korean Hyundai. And on Proton, BYD and Zhonghua, if suddenly you want to search for spare parts in China or Malaysia.

It is difficult to break this automatic transmission, usually resource trouble begin with a rare oil replacement, such as 90 thousand times, and during runs for 250 thousand kilometers. The list of priority substitutions typically appear shift solenoids and baseline solenoids. With frequent and active movement on the highway, the Overdrive planetary planets are also possible, where a needle bearing is out of order. As a result of this trouble, wear products can already damage many nodes.

The breakdowns of the speed sensors are bounded mainly with age and contamination of the box of wear. The most serious problems are usually associated with the pollution of the hydroblock, pressure loss or oil leaks.

The automatic transmission is considered one of the most successful in its class. It is so successful that the A4CF1 / 2 box on Solaris differs from it in the nuances, being a further development of the design, and with 1.4 l motors it is installed so far.

If you change the oil into the automatic transmission every thousand 40-50, do not abuse the races and replace the GDT lining on time, then the box of repairs will not require serious repairs. After 200-250 thousand kilometers, most likely, it will only be necessary to replace several solenoids and filters. That is, you can do without additional investments, although at that age it is recommended to update rubber seals.

If you take an American or Japanese machine with a motor of 1.5 liters, 1.6 liters or 1.8 liters, then you will not have a classic "automatic", and the variator produced by Mitsubishi / Hyundai F1C1 series. The design is largely similar to the best-selling Jatco Re0F06A and JF 011E and is actually one of his ancestors. Unfortunately, this is not talking about outstanding advantages, but about the abundance of child problems. In particular, this box is very well working at low temperatures and just cold. The oil in this variator should be changed every year, and still wear belt and cones to mileage at 120-150 thousand often already critical.

Motors

Mitsubishi engines are considered one of the most thoughtful and successful. Especially old series. A two-liter 4G 63 is deservedly considered one of the best engines for tuning, and at the same time quite reliable and successful in the hopeless version.

But the bulk of motors belongs to another series. In many ways, similar is constructive, but the other is to the 4G1 or Orion family. Motors 1.3 L - 4G 13 series, Motors 1.6 L - 4G 18. A more rare one-and-lying modification refers to the 4G 15 series.

These are distinguished by the presence of modifications with one and two camshafts, three and four valves per cylinder, as well as the GDI Optional Injection and MIVEC Phasitors.

At L Ancer IX put the latest 4G 18 modifications, so it was only in a variant with four valves per cylinder and one camshaft. 4G 15 "pleases" by a large manifold: here and GDI on Japanese cars, and four valves on the cylinder (three valves are also found, but rarely). There are even modifications with two camshafts.

Motor 4G 13 is a strictly 12-valve with one camshaft.

All motors are characterized by a cast-iron cylinder block, a belt in the actuator and a rather comfortable design.

Timing belt 1.6

price for the original

1,433 rubles

With all the merits of these engines, it is impossible not to note the low resource of the piston group in 1.6 l motors, their sensitivity to operating temperature and the unsuccessful design of the throttle of motors. In addition, the motors of 1.6 l and 1.5 liters are very weak ignition modules with individual coils.

The unsuccessful design of the main radiator determines its tendency to loss of tightness and contamination. I note that non-original inexpensive radiators often work even better than "relatives".

The material of the cylinder block is also not "premium", and if the rings fell, then, most likely, the wear of the piston group is already significant, and without boring it is not necessary.

Motor rings 1.6 l and 1.5 l are locked due to the weak oilseed on the pistons. Holes cocks, the circulation of the coolant becomes insufficient, which leads to overheating. Actually, all the diseases here most often arise due to the growth of the motor volume: the performance of the cooling system is calculated mainly on the motors of 1.2 liters and 1.3 liters, and the larger volume block has enough of it barely.

And now as soon as radiators are contaminated, appetite appetite to the oil. Now add a failed piston design here, and here it is the masculor and wear piston after hundreds of thousands of kilometers and at least light overheating. Pistons are inexpensive, but the fact that the overhaul is required after 100-120 thousand kilometers of typical operation, can scare many many.

I note to the credit of these motors that the oil appetite is growing gradually, not as fast as Masculators VW and BMW. And yet two liters are 10 thousand kilometers - this is a serious symptom, and in the case of the use of cheaper oil appetite begins to grow quickly.

In principle, using regular cutting, oil with low viscosity and good laundering properties, oil appetite can be stabilized by fairly long time. There are examples of motors with runs for 300 thousand and an original piston group. True, the nuances of the operating conditions for achieving such a result is also a lot. With frequent rides on the city traffic jams, such "survivability" is almost impossible to achieve. The only thing that can be advised is the use of a "cold" thermostat and regular cleaning of the radiator. Well, and oils with a viscosity of SAE 30, of course.

The throttle valve has a limited resource: after 150 thousand kilometers, accumulated backlays interfere with its normal operation, and the concomitant factor is usually pollution and non-grinding of the EGR valve. For the Russian owners of Lanserov, there is good news: you can order a restored damper "from titus", the repair is put on the flow. And, of course, no one forbids putting new original or contract details.

EGR should be periodically cleaned or disable away from sin: it largely contributes to the accelerated wear of the piston group and running the rings on the motors of 1.6 liters.

The catalyst on these engines is also poorly tolerate operation in Russia. After the same 100-150 thousand kilometers, the backrage is growing, and sometimes the babe flies on the inlet. In many ways, this is facilitated by possible problems with ignition: Candle tips pours oil due to the unsuccessful design of the gasket cover of the CPC and the weak ventilation of the crankcase. Carter gases, in turn, lead to corrosion of candle tips. It is good that they are collapsible and can be repaired.

Finally, they note the low resource of the engine supports, due to which after 150 thousand kilometers of vibration and jerk become frequent phenomena.

Radiator

price for the original

26 269 rubles

If you look closely, then up to 100-120 thousand usually everything is very good, but then large waste with varying degrees of probability. Separately work is not too expensive, even replacing the timing belt, and spare parts, including the original, are not space money. But many all end with the installation of the contract engine, the benefit of them is enough. And all because you can put a much more successful motor.

Dual-liter 4G 63 in a hopeless layout version similar to low-volume motors, but belong to another family, larger 4G6 or SIRIUS. It is occupied by the occasionally occurring motors 1.8 liters of the 4G 67 series and 2.4 liters of the 4G 69 series.

Unlike the "small" motors there are balancing shafts, and with a separate belt drive. They are one of the weak places of this line of engines. On motors 2.0 l and 1.8 l, it is recommended to turn off the drive of the balancers and remove the belt. Otherwise, when climbing, he falls under the timing belt and ... everything is clear here. Valves in this situation oppresses all "Mitsubishevsky" engines.

Balancers on old motors are prone to subdings. Otherwise, everything is noticeably better than that of motors smaller: there is no piston reliable, there are no difficulties with overheating. But there are thousands of cooling system tuning options, because on the basis of 4G 63 / 4G 69 / 4G 64 collects the motors with more than a thousand horsepower. True, sometimes with the replacement of the block itself: the regular one is not enough at half past six.

The main resource problems of these motors include early wear of the hydrocompensators, the fast loss of oil pump pressure when working on dirty oil and the associated problems in the form of rapid wear of high-loaded crankshaft liners, balancing shafts and camshaft cams. Subject to the regular replacement of the "right" oil, cleaning the oil grid, good filters and a serviceable crankcase ventilation system, a motor can pass 300-400 thousand kilometers to the intervention in the piston. GBC will take place at least 200 to the first repairs. In addition, the most simple version of the engine is installed on the Lancer, without phase traffickers and other excesses, like the GDI direct injection.

Motors with a volume of 1.8 and 2.4 liters have about the same characteristics and resources, but adjusted for a slightly modified power. Extremely favorably affects the resource of the 1,8-liter motor CVT transmission. It is a pity that the combination of GDI and Mivec does not most effect on the price of operation and reliability.

The version of the motor with a superior has a similar resource only if there is a very calm person on the machine. Typically, 4G 63T is used hard, and it is not worth talking about an outstanding resource. But in such conditions, it is extremely reliable, even in a forced form.

Difficulties with throttle, ignition coils, crankcase ventilation system and engine pillows are the same as the engine is 1.6 4G 18.

Summary

On the machines sold in Russia officially, two-liter motor - the best option. It is noticeably more powerful than the 1.6-liter, and does not have a specific problem with the resource of the piston group. It is bad that such aggregates are very few, therefore it is the main one that remains 1,6-liter. It remains only to hope that they served it well. And if not good, then at least efficiently repaired.

Motor 1.3 l for movement around the city is quite suitable, but on the highway to move with it - a terrain meal, especially if the movement is dense. The resource at the same time he is quite acceptable, usually up to 250 thousand kilometers it works well, hinting at the need to repair by the growing oil appetite.

In general, Mitsubishi Lancer IX - the car is very reliable, although without some shortcomings. For example, the resource of mechanical gearboxes and motors 1.6 liters leaves much to be desired. But this is a complete set of most cars.

Repairs will not be too expensive at least due to the mass of the machine and the wide unification of the aggregates.

Another unpleasant factor is the very specific ergonomics of a car, which does not favor the middle and higher people, and even more so are complete. This car, with your permission, for small and thin drivers and passengers.

The image of the rally car is a double-edged thing: someone just warms the soul, but more often it is perugally affecting the style of operation.

Therefore, summarize: if you have a little growth and you are ready to take a boar of the engine or box, you need good handling and "sports" image from an inexpensive car and you are not against a gray salon, then Lancer IX can be considered a good option. He almost does not rot, not "pulls out" difficult problems with solved, spare parts have become cheap many years ago, contract aggregates are not just a lot, but a lot. And for tuning, the space is huge, you can build a car of your dream ...

I do not fall under these conditions, but you wish enough.

Are you ready to take Lancer 9?

Numerous reviews about Lancer 9 (Lancerf IX) make it possible to judge this car, as quite high quality and reliable. But since perfect cars do not happen, there are small disadvantages and weak points Lancer 9To pay attention to both the owners of Lancer IX, and those who are just going to purchase this car.

For each problem, we decided to find out the opinion of the site editor website, and part-time, the owner of Lancer 9.

Weak places Mitsubishi Lancer IX

Sensitivity to fuel quality

"92th or 95th?" - The question that is relevant to all owners of Mitsubishi Lancer 9. Disputes about the octane number are not stopped among the owners to this day. In the instruction manual, it is said that it is necessary to refuel gasoline with octane number 92, 95 and higher. Often in Russia 95th are manufactured by adding additives in the 92nd. As a result, an octane number grows, but the fuel quality deteriorates, from which the engine parts suffer. Output can be the use of 92th gasoline. The 98th, according to the observations of some owners of Lancer, can lead to overheating of the engine the failure of the valves.

Note From the site editor Website: directly disadvantaged or weak place, I do not consider the question. I used myself earlier (somewhere over a year and a half 95th gasoline - there was no problem). To date, for more than a year I have been using the 92nd and also there are no problems.

Fuel consumption Lancer 9

Fuel consumption is the first thing owner pays attention to. For the most popular engine version of 1.6 l, flow rate is: in the city - 8-10 l per 100 km, on the highway 6-9 liters per 100 km.

If consumption increases to 15 liters per 100 km, even with an engine of 1.6 liters, then this means that you need to pay attention to the catalyst. It is his pollution and leads to such a large fuel consumption. The problem will be solved by replacing the catalyst. The failure of the catalyst contributes to the deposits of ferrocene. Ferrocene has a specific brick color and its deposits can be seen on the lambda probe and candles, which in this case will also have to be replaced.

If power disappeared and increased gasoline consumption, then the cause lies in the throttle. Some auto owners are foolishly advised to clean the throttle, with ineptly cleaning, this procedure threatens "swimming" revolutions. So be careful.

Note from the editor: I have a Lancer 9 with an engine 1.3l. Problems, about the flow, as you understand, does not arise.

Air conditioning Lancer 9.

Itself does not bring any problems. It is only necessary to include it for about once a week. It is necessary to do it even in winter. The goal is to prevent the tightness of the air conditioner seals. You can turn on it in the winter as follows: First, it is thorough to warm up the salon heater, and then turn on the air conditioner.

Note from the editor: To be honest, I never heard about this procedure, so I can't say anything about this, the air conditioner works perfectly.

Water in the salon Lancer 9

If the car has a smell of damp and rot, then most likely it is due to penetrating inside the water salon. In some cases, water can get through the plug between the interior and the wheel arch of the left front wheel. The problem is solved simply: you need to remove the mudguard, bend the liner and energetically put the plug in place.

Note from the editor: I did not come across this problem.

Noise insulation Lancer 9.

Noise isolation leaves much to be desired. This is especially true of thresholds and wheeled arches.

Note from the editor: I fully agree. Noise insulation of Lancer 9, unfortunately, is inferior to European cars. But this, in general, the weak point of almost all "Japanese". In a short time, we plan to place an article on our website on Lancer IX noise insulation with your own hands.

Fad headlights Lancer 9

Due to the design of the headlight and can manifest itself in crude weather. Eliminated by turning on the near light. If this does not help, then it makes sense to contact the service center for warranty. In general, the problem is solved by cleaning the ventilation holes and lubricating them with a sealant.

Note from the editor: Plans tooling may occur after an unsuccessful tuning when their sealing is broken.

Disadvantages of optics Lancer 9

The owners have repeatedly noted that the brightness of the glow of the headlight is clearly not enough. It is solved by replacing the headlights of near and far beams more suitable in brightness or installation of xenon.

Note from the editor: I remind you that the installation of xenon lamps in the headlights that are not intended for this is prohibited. But "collective me", or no one will prevent you from installing special lenses.

Sufficiently high cost of official spare parts and maintenance Lancer 9

For a golf class car, Lancer is too high the cost of original spare parts and maintenance. Of course, it is possible to reduce costs by using suitable non-original parts.

Note from the editor: As for the original spare parts, I agree, but the market has a huge number of analogues, so there are ways to reduce the cost of service without worsening quality.

Brake discs Lancer 9

Generally accepted weak place Mitsubishi Lancer IX. Already to the first, they will need to be replaced, and at high speeds when braking will be "news". In some cases, they can crack or even split.

Note from the editor: about the first then you, of course, got excited. He encountered the problem of the driven drives, but it happened when run, somewhere in 80 thousand km.

Suspension Lancer 9.

Hard suspension. So long-distance travel on not very good roads can be tired.

Note from the editor: Of course, how many people are so many opinions, but I do not consider Lancer suspension 9 too tough.

Fragile paintwork

Insufficient enamel strength can easily lead to cracks and chips, which in turn leads to rust.

Note from the editor: I myself noticed small chips on the thresholds of the rear door somewhere to 85 thousand km. Mileage

Of the small deficiencies, I still want to note the size of the trunk and not the most successful location of the washer tank under the hood in a cold place, so it will not be able to save it without water and save.

In conclusion, we can say that the advantages of Mitsubishi Lancer IX is still much more than flaws, and with proper timely service, he is faithful to his owner, without delivering special problems.

Row four-cylinder engines Mitsubishi Lancer 9 with a volume of 1.3 and 1.6 with one camshaft and a capacity of 82 hp and 92 hp respectively; 2.0 with two camshafts and a capacity of 135 hp When operating in the conditions of the Russian Federation, there is a small resource and a large oil consumption.

The oil consumption for Lancer 9 is so large that when the next regulatory maintenance can be achieved only by replacing the oil filter. After all, consumption, or rather the "Jort" oil varies from 1 liter to 3 liters per 1000 km. With the volume of oil system from 3 to 4 liters, for 10-15 thousand km. We will have to add at least 15 liters., and thus change it several times.

In the absence of leaks, gaskets and seals, the causes of oil consumption can be:

• Wear guide sleeves and valve seals
• Wearing or crawling oil-chained rings, jackets on the cylinder block

Each reason has its own root cause.

Oil consumption through valve glands

Valve's glands lose their elasticity and "duby" on different mileage. On one engine, they are resorted to the replacement in 50 thousand km. Mileage, on another in 150 thousand km. At the same time, the replacement of the oil replacement does not solve the problem with oil consumption. Why is that? The oil surcharge caps fail because of overheating, as visible, when it records the temperature sensor and the invisible, so-called domestic prehealth. In the first case, the cooling system can be the cause. The second case is difficult to diagnose and detect, and it is connected by low fuel quality. The products of incomplete combustion of gasoline form a nap and varnish deposits in the combustion chamber. As a result, the thermal conductivity of its walls deteriorates, which causes overheating, which does not record the temperature sensor. In addition, the independent replacement of the oil-challenge caps without the implementation of the defect and the subsequent replacement of the guide sleeves of the valves does not give a positive effect. And Lancer as a snack, so it will be. And, if we take into account the pumping effect, which occurs when installing new seals on old sleeves, having a wear, then the flow will be even more than before replacement.

Local rings and oil consumption

Outlet rings in the case of overheating of the motor Lancer lie and lose the mobility is one of the causes of oil consumption. When using low quality gasoline, the rings are locked up and also stopped working. In addition, if the coke scored the grooves and the rings lay on it, then their intensive wear on the wall of the cylinders will occur. As a result of mechanical wear on the sleeve, there may be jackets, which is another cause of oil consumption. Compression rings also cause a pumping effect when the oil slimming fell, and the flow rate grows. The replacement of the rings does not give results in the case when the block of cylinders is not mounted under the new size or the microblyflifting of the surface is not made. Wearing in the block leads to a change in the geometry of the cylinder: ovality, taper, elipsy, which in turn causes the sound of the motor. The knock may be "connecting rod" in consequence of oil starvation.

The root cause "Jora" oil on Lancer 9

What does the struggle for the ecology and the reduction of toxic emissions? You have to optimize the gaps in the motor and its details. The smaller the gaps, the easier and faster they are clogged by the products of incomplete combustion of gasoline. It is for this reason that all the above is happening, and that is why all manufacturers write and warn about the use of high quality fuel. Aggravates the situation and objective reasons:

• Short Distance Trips
• Riding on an immentable motorcycle
• Long work at idle
• The use of gasoline that does not match the passport
• Low speed operation

The listed factors do not allow the engine to exit the operating temperature at which the coke and naiga will be surrounded. The use of AI-98, instead of AI-92, also contributes to the nagar formation, since the combustion rate in high-octane gasoline is less. That which does not burn forms a nargar, scores a catalyst.

How to increase the resource of the engine Mitsubishi

An increase in viscosity and the transition to other brands of engine oil do not give a sustainable result. Regular use of washing of the oil system before replacing the oil - MF5 will allow you to contain a power unit clean. Washing the Lancer motor allows you to deeply clean the surfaces from all types of sediments and in-nagar, get the rings and return the mobility.

The use of a metal-ceramic additive for the engine will allow you to restore its resource, compensate and protect against wear. The composition of the Engine Ga4, designed for 4 liters of oil, does not change the chemical composition and physical properties of the oil. Forms a metal-ceramic protective layer on the conjugate friction pairs of friction, which restores the cylinder geometry, increases compression, as a result of which the oil consumption of Lancer 9 decreases or is terminated depending on the degree of wear and the causes of Zhora. The composition does not affect and does not restore valve glands, piston rings.

Optimize combustion processes and get rid of the consequences of incomplete combustion of fuel possible by adding to the gasoline gasoline catalyst, FueElex. The combustion catalyst increases the speed and temperature of the combustion, as a result of which it provides complete combustion. And as a result, there is no car, coke and sediments-clean engine, combustion chamber, catalyst. The use of combustion catalyst increases the motor resource.

17.01.2017

Not so long ago, Mitsubishi Lancer 9 was so popular car in his class, which, many motorists, in order to become its owner, had to wait for their turn to half a year. There are several factors for unpreheent popularity of this car: affordable price, positive reliability reviews, good brand reputation and simplicity in service. But the time does not stand still, and, today, in the secondary market there are already many offers for the sale of generation, but despite this, the demand for the ninth generation is still great. Therefore, today I decided to figure out how things are with reliability at the car and what to pay attention to when choosing a used Mitsubishi Lancer 9 in the secondary market.

A bit of history:

For the first time, the car of this model was commercially available in 1973, continues to be sold and to date. Mitsubishi Lancer of the ninth generation made his debut in the world market in 2003, and in 2005 a slight restyling was held, thanks to which the manufacturer managed to eliminate most of the essential miscalculations and disadvantages. In 2006, a small facelifting was held, which touched the exclusively radiator lattice. Almost all Lancers, which are presented in the secondary market, were officially sold in the CIS, but, occasionally, there are copies imported from Europe, USA and Japan. The car has become so popular that even after entering the market of the tenth generation of this model, it continued to produce and sold neither a little worse than the novelties.

Weak places Mitsubishi Lancer 9 with mileage

As with most Japanese cars Mitsubishi Lancer 9 painted water-based paint, as a result, paintwork is very weak and quickly covered with chips and scratches. As for corrosion resistance, in this component, Lancer is all in order, and if the car has not been restored after serious accidents, then there should be even a hint of corrosion on the body, only wheeled arches can be exception. Also, you can note the plastic from which the bumper is made - it is strong enough and without any problems withstands the mesmer collision. In crude weather, the forehead lights are often fought, to solve the problem, you should clean the ventilated channels, to miss their sealant.

Engines

Mitsubishi Lancer 9 was completed with the following power units: gasoline - 1.3 (82 hp), 1.5 (90 hp), 1.6 (98 hp), 1.8 (114, 165 hp), 2.0 ( 114, 135 and 280 hp). Motors 1.5, 1.6 and 2.0 were proven to be the most reliable, their resource to overhaul is 250-300 thousand km. On Motors 1.8 and 2.0, the GDI injection system is installed, which is sensitive to the quality of fuel, therefore, in our realities, as a rule, fuel injectors and high pressure fuel pump are often faced. Also, due to poor fuel quality, it is necessary to change the spark plugs, their resource, in rare cases, exceeds 30,000 km. Signal about the need to replace candles will serve easy twitching when driving.

On a motor with a motor 2.0, two balancing shafts are installed, which reduce vibrations. Shafts are powered by belts to be changed every 90,000 km. The procedure for replacing belts is not cheap (200-400 cu), but despite the cost, it is not worth saving on this procedure. All motors are demanding of high-quality and timely maintenance, and, if this is not done, the hydrotheraplers and valves will be failed. If the power disappeared and the fuel consumption increased, the throttle is most likely to blame. When contacting the service, most likely, you will be offered to replace it, but, often, it is necessary to simply clean it to solve it. Also, the cause of the problem of the unstable operation of the engine can serve as the throttle block of the throttle. There are two solutions to the problem: the first - replacement of throttle valve (300-500 USD . ), the second is a boring of the choke and replacing the damper (100-150 cu).

The fuel filter is installed under the rear seat and serves no more than 30,000 km, and the cost of the original part is unpleasantly surprised. On cars, with a mileage of 200,000 km and more, significantly increases the oil consumption, the problem can be solved, replacing the oil-giving caps and rings. Under the influence of reagents with which we generously sprinkled roads, the cooling radiator quickly fails (the replacement will cost 300-400 cu). It is not famous for its reliability and bearings of the generator, the replacement of the generator costs the round sum (600-800 cu), therefore, most owners, if the problem occurs, is looking for a generator on disassembly, or they are trying to repair it independently.

Transmission

For Mitsubishi Lancer 9 there were three types of gearboxes - five-speed mechanics, four-stage automatic and variator. The mechanics are very reliable, the only thing that can slightly upset owners is the high cost of replacing the clutch (about 400 cu), good, it needs to be changed every 150-200 thousand km. There are no complaints and reliability of automatic transmission.

Reliability of Mitsubishi Pendant Lancer 9

Despite the fact that Mitsubishi Lancer 9 is equipped with an independent suspension: Front - MacPherson, from behind - a multi-dimension, comfortable to call it - difficult. The original suspension is quite reliable and does not require serious capital investments, no more than once every 150-170 thousand km. Today, almost all cars of this brand have runs about 200,000 km and more, therefore, objectively say how much it will last rather difficult. The fact is that the original parts are expensive and, many owners, at best, take analogue of average quality, in the worst - cheap China, the replacement of which it may be necessary and after 100 km of run.

The steering rack begins to knock after 100-150 thousand km, and its replacement costs very expensive (from 1000 cu). Many owners restore the rail, but, here, to predict how much it will last after repair - difficult, therefore, be sure to check this node not only for the presence of oils, but also the backlash. Also, it should be checked the hoses of the power steering on the subject of cracks and leaks of the fluid GUR. Steering traction, compared with other parts of the chassis, do not differ in particular reliability and require replacement every 60-80 thousand km. Brake pads, on average, 40-50 thousand km walk, drives - twicear longer. Over time, the caliper begins to knock to eliminate this knock, you need to lubricate the guide calipers.

Salon

The Asian interior of the cabin is immediately striking, everything looks very neat, but modest. And, here, on machines with a large mileage, the salon can look pretty embossed, it all depends on how the previous owner belonged to the car. Despite the fact that the manufacturer used inexpensive finishing materials, everything is collected very qualitatively, which you will not say about noise insulation - its quality is very low, and if the noise of the wheels and the motor is irritated, without extra Shumkov it is not necessary. The only thing that can be noted is the reliability of electrical equipment, problems with it happen extremely rarely. If air conditioning is installed on the car, then it must be turned on at least once a week (even in winter) to prevent disruption of sealing sealing. Be sure to check the salon for moisture. Often, water in the cabin falls through the plug between the interior and the arch of the front left wheel (the plug replacement is required).

Outcome:

In conclusion, it can be said that the advantages of Mitsubishi Lancer 9 is still much more than flaws. Therefore, if you are looking for an inexpensive and reliable car, then this is perhaps the most interesting option in this price segment.

Respect, editors Car auto

Mitsubishi Lancer IX has gained the fame of a reliable and unpretentious car. There are no ideal things with the "Japanese" there are weaknesses. About which it is worth knowing every future owner and to which it is necessary to pay attention to when buying a used car of this model.

Weak places Mitsubishi Lancer of the 9th generation and their manifestations

• increased oil consumption;
• throttle knot;
• brake discs and calipers;
• steering rail;
• catalytic exhaust gas neutralizer;
• weak LKP.

The buyer used the car must be worth paying attention to the following:

Increased oil consumption in machines with mileage of more than 100 thousand km.

This feature is "treated" with the right selection of engine oil, and if it does not help - the replacement of the oil and oil-giving rings, which have the property to be added and wear out, and the repair of the engine, up to capital;

Throttle knot.

She "squints" the smell in the cylinder of the mechanism, at first it does not interfere, but provokes increased wear of the mechanism. Also washing a throttle node or a born fossa leads to an increase in idling speed - up to 1500 - 2000 rpm. Common factory defect. It is solved by replacing a node or repair by the method of titus;

Brake discs and caliper.

The problem is manifested when braking at high speeds. The steering wheel is rattling, brake discs are warm, they begin to lead, cobbles. There were cases when the node was split in half. Discs must be changed, it is desirable for a high-quality non-original analogue, and the calipers move and change the worn parts (cuffs, sealing rings);

Steering rake.

When driving in a straight line on small bodies, knocks appear, as if on the steering column, the hammer is knocking. To 150 thousand runs on each second machine, this problem is manifested. The main reason is the corrosion of the rod of the mechanism at the seal seal. Leads to the rupture of seals and leaks of oil. You can solve this problem by buying a new rail (expensive pleasure), buying a b \\ at the rail (analogy with the lottery: you can get on trouble-free and save, and maybe there is again a month later), repair with the replacement of the rod and the full bulkhead and the replacement of all the glands. At the exit, there will be almost a new rail at a price 2-3 times cheaper. By the way, the court can also include weak steering traction;

Catalytic gas-produced neutralizer.

They are on Lancer two. Due to the low quality, gasoline fails, already when achieving 100 thousand, the first, which is located on the graduate manifold and works in more aggressive conditions. When the "Check Engine" lamp caught fire and the reason in the catalyst, options are not so many, namely: replacement of the neutralizer (very expensive and inefficient, since gasoline will destroy it again after 70 - 100 thousand), remove and pour it weak (1 : 9) solution of orthophosphoric acid and water. The method is not always effective and will help if the cells are still in order. The third method consists of removing the catalyst and installing the firmware for the firmware of the engine. Lambuba probes that control the operation of the neutralizer move to the second for the "deception" of the engine control program;

Low paintwork bodies.

Before buying a body inspection is required. Skoli will further lead to rust. Care with reducing polyrollas will help save the coating and extend its service.

In addition to the above-mentioned car weaknesses of this model, it is necessary to carefully examine the entire car before purchase. Unless of course lack the ability to drive it into the car service. It is worth riding on it and listen to possible knocks, screens, whisers, etc. In addition to weak places, this car has a number of flaws that need to be considered before buying a car.

Typical shortcomings of Mitsubishi Lancer from 2007-2010. release

1. very weak noise insulation;
2. the absence of the backlight of the glover (apparently designer considered it not necessary, even if the flashlight was put in the kit);
3. uncomfortable switch "Middle / Far";
4. weak head optics;
5. rigid suspension;
6. dear original spare parts and by the way, for their durability, it would be worse than the best;
7. little trunk volume;
8. rattling cheap plastic in the cabin;
9. uncomfortable armrest;
10. weak air conditioner and stove.

Let's summarize.

Despite the track record of disadvantages and weaknesses, the car is reliable, dynamic, especially with a two-liter engine, is well managed and looks good. When buying, the main thing is to carefully treat the inspection, and it is best to conduct diagnostics before buying, as well as not to acquire machines that were used in a taxi or in the training of novice drivers.

P.S: Dear owners of this car model, if on your observations during operation often extending details, nodes or aggregates are manifested, then we will be very grateful if you report these frequent breakdowns in the comments below!
