  • Colt is jerking at low speeds.

    Hello, for a few weeks now my Colt Z30 (BJ2005, 1.3l, 70kW) automatic has been jerking especially in certain speed ranges such as 1700-2200 RPM and with constant gas in this mentioned speed range. You can also notice it when accelerating but most clearly if you hold the speed up to 60 km/h. I had already suspected that it might be the spark plugs, so I made them out and saw that the candle shaft on the cylinder 1 is rusty and the ignition coil on the housing also has rust approaches, can it possibly be because of it? Spark plugs have now about 15-20000 km on it. Vehicle is driven little about 9000 km a year and rather short distance. Error memory read out with a launch tester, no entries available. I read in the net that it often occurs at the Colt that the throttle flap can be dirty. I bought the car since 2005 there again. For tips I am very grateful to you.

  • Manual as PDF Space Star Select plus 2022

    For the Mitsubishi Space Star Select plus built in 2022 I am looking for the manual for download, as I ordered this vehicle and expected to be delivered by the end of 2022, with CVT gearboxes. In order to be able to deal with this vehicle a little bit, I wanted to download this operating manual or user manual, because I assume this is also included in the delivery. So there is also this manual for download and hopefully also for download. This usually belongs to the website of the provider or manufacturer, but at Mitsubishi I am looking for it in vain. Now my hope rests on this forum. Would be great if someone had a link to the user manuals where you can download them as PDF. For my Opel Corsa D 2008 I was able to download the user manual without any problems. Sure there is also this for Mitsubishi. Especially since this variant is equipped with a rear camera. ne Space Star Select looked at in front of the car dealership, but I haven’t found a remote camera yet, where exactly is it installed? Close to the license plate? Would anyone have a photo where you can see it? I would like to thank you for your efforts with my request, Greetings Hans

  • Axle cuff wheel side Space Star 1.3 slips out of tensioner again and again

    Hello guys! Maybe someone has already had the same problems, and knows a solution, I would be grateful for any good advice! With the Space Star of my father Bj 2000 has only a good 40 TKm down, bds always solve the axle cuffs out of the tensioners. He has already had several different workshops (also original Mitsubishi) put on new tensioners, I had tried it before with desperation already with wire, so far everything without success. Also I wanted to avoid the drive completely expand and attach new cuffs, or let this be done, since the cuffs are apparently in order, the whole action would be quite expensive and expensive, the budget actually forbids such measures. The “specialist workshop” even wanted to install completely new anti-ebe. 🙁 Unfortunately, one can also get quite bad for the rest of new tensioners, they can not be dressed so tightly that the cuff cannot slip out underneath, moreover, the P So I can’t insert a (universal) tensioner, with a screw etc. Maybe someone still has an ingenious idea???

  • Mounting/demounting drum brake CJ0’99

    Hello you! I drive a Colt CJ0 from 98 and wanted to mount new brakes at the rear. I bought the parts already: Brake-backs Wheel brake cylinder spring set I have to first see if the drum is still good. The car has run about 145,000 kilometers and think that in any case the pads from the brake blocks have become too hot and thus do not have such a good braking performance. I am a car-mechatroniler Azubi and could do this work there. Of course kan My question is now, how do I do it instead of being rough, because Mitsubishi has bolts instead of normal wheel screws? Can someone give me tips so that I can do this work? Greetings

  • Space Star 1.6 2002 – Purchase advice / Watch out for what?

    Hi, Since my Volvo C70 Coupé with 250tkm and inc. has to remove too many electronic defects, I was offered in exchange a Mitsubishi Space Star 1.6 “25”. The minivan is also without preparation really still tip-top and clean there, inside and outside almost like new (except slightly balanced plastic headlights). It is the pre-facelift model with EZ 2002, from first possession, SH-maintained, 1.6l suction cup with 98hp, switch, “25” special equipment, TÜV comes new. Since I hardly know the car, except that it is built on the Volvo S40 / Carisma and was assembled at the NedCar (ex-Daf / Volvo) plant in the Netherlands, I would like to ask a few questions: – Reliability: 218tkm seems to be a lot of wood. What about the reliability of various components in this mileage? Vulnerable components (axes, electronics, brakes)? Durability of the coupling in mixed operation? – Engine: It is not GDI (fortunately). But: I plan the car if it turns out to be good to upgrade to LPG (my Volvo has been running on car gas for 5 years, you save huge!) Are the 1.6 engines gas-compatible? Hydro valves / good valve seat rings, or already the new-fashioned, non-LPG capable Sparkram with recreating cup plungers and relatively soft seat rings, as with many Japanese? Thanks for tips and to the Space Star!

  • Space Star SRS lamp lights – Airbag Error memory cannot be deleted

    Hello, with my Space Star 1.8 GDI Built. 2000 the SRS lamp has been lit for a long time. Was already in the workshop and there was an error stored in the airbag control unit, however, it could not be deleted. Had last year due to defective alternator overvoltage and therefore suspect that the STG is defective. Or would it not be possible to read out the error memory if it was defective due to overvoltage? Would you also like to see a circuit diagram from the airbag so that I can also see the Lei MfG edition-driver

  • Lancer IV no longer starts or control unit MD153010 searched

    Moin, My car: 2/2.1: 7107 3/2.2: 462 MITSUBISHI LANCER IV (C6_A, C7_A) 1.5 12V (C62A petrol) from 05-1989 to 05-1992 Kilometer: approx. 217.000 Problem: Everything went as always. Shopping, vehicle stands for 45 minutes. After that it no longer starts, First thoughts: 1. Orgelt still, battery still enough juice, 2. crankshaft turns, probably not mechanical (hopefully 3. ignition lines held to mass, no ignition spark on all candles, 4. voltage on the ignition distributor –> Vll. Ignition distributor ? Best Here in the forum: 1. Have many probably had the problem, either ignition distributor or engine control unit, old Mitsubishi dealer told me on the phone, that are the two problems with the Lancer from the years and so slowly make all the ECUs sluggish. 2. MS removed, opened (see pictures), capacitors look quite good, but was obviously already someone before me, especially R102 (misses complete ?) and R 122 don’t look like ex factory. –> So I need a new ECU ? car utilizations called about 20 pieces, Japan parts (Hamburg) called, nobody has a used one. On the net I find the for EUR 200,00 or can send to ECU or approx. EUR 190,00. My question: does someone have a tip, missing the R 102 (purchase and soldering) or should I buy a ECU, does vill. even someone have one on offer? Thank you for attention and if necessary help/tips.

  • Lancer 1.6. New car

    Hello in the round, I am looking for a replacement car (second car) for our aged golf. My wife would like the Mitsubishi Lancer quite well. When browsing in Mobile I noticed that many new cars or day registrations are still offered. The vehicles are almost all identically equipped. The prices for a new car seem very attractive to me. Thus we have discovered a black sportback for 13.990,– €. Oh yes, it is supposed to be a sportsback, if possible in be black. Of course, equipment wonders are not. The offered vehicles all have the 1.6. ́ engine with 117 hp and Euro 6. What do you think about these offers? Unfortunately, I have no experience with Japanese cars at all, especially Mitsubishi, in terms of reliability, consumption and workshop costs.
