  • Steering provision for SpaceStar 1.2

    Hello everyone, recently we received our new SpaceStar, a nice car with low fuel consumption! After more than 300 km, however, one thing strikes me: The steering reserve power is very low, no matter whether to the right or left is steered. The steering wheel is only hesitantly straight again and remains suspended at 08:00/14:00 o’clock position. In order to be able to drive straight again, I have to actively steer back, otherwise it continues to drive a curve. the car. The straight run is also restless, the SpaceStar runs after every track groove. Probably this hangs on a (too) small tail angle. Is this steering behavior normal and wanted by the SpaceStar? Can the tail angle be adjusted?

  • Questions for Colt drivers

    Hello, was yesterday at Mitsubishi and looked at the Colt 5 door. A house has opened here and offers rich discounts. And what should I say ? I am really positively surprised by the car. You sit well, the car has plenty of space, the seating concept is great and it looks like an A-Class, so very good for my taste. It’s really good, also compared to Polo and Corsa. Unfortunately I have no plan of the brand at all and would like to inquire about quality, Satisfaction, weaknesses, maintenance costs etc.. Maybe Colt drivers can tell me something about it. P.S.:What should be connected to the center console at the socket?

  • Leak in the ‘climate tub’? Car windows fogged massively from the inside

    With my Space Star (with air conditioning) I’ve been fogging the windows from the inside so strong that I don’t see anything after a few kilometers of driving. In my Mitsubishi workshop I was told that I had to go up somewhere and there’s a leak in the ‘climate tub’. It has to be ordered and replaced, cost approx. 500 €. Does anyone know what is meant and can clear up? I can’t find anything in the net. And can’t you fix such a leak? Thanks!

  • Mitsubishi Colt sometimes doesn’t start, gets dressed right away

    Hello together, with my Mitsubishi Colt CJO 1.3 75hp from 1997, 155000 km I have the problem that the car sometimes does not start. Workshop can find nothing. Starter spins (sometimes individual ignitions are audible and noticeable), battery is one year old and has 12.7 volts, sparks are everywhere there (Zündkerzen one year and 10000 km old), petrol arrives. When I put it on, it jumps immediately and runs round and then starts for days as if nothing had been done. Who knows this or has got it? Tips?

  • Colt BJ 2009 – How do I detect defective coupling?

    Hey dear community, I need your advice: I drive a Colt BJ 2009, with currently more than 387,000 km on the speedometer. Since the last / penultimate week he drives somehow differently. One feels as if the force is not transferred to the wheels. I have not yet noticed a real “slip” of the clutch (engine throbbing, speed increase but you will not be faster) You have to say that this is still the first clutch and that neither of me, nor of the previous owner times a (I own the vehicle since 2014). It’s more like it takes him felt much longer to get to speed. From 100 km/h it gets really loud and a funny vibrating comes to it. I’ve also tried to provoke the car, no matter how fast I let my clutch pedal come, I just can’t get rid of it – but my clutch pedal is also felt on the last few cm pedal path and nothing happens before. can drive even in the 5th gear with 10 km/h through a gyro without the engine running out or that it starts stuttering. Does this indicate a defective clutch, or could it be something from the gearbox? With the km performance of course the clutch exchange wants to be well thought out at 387,000 km, but I still like to drive it and the used car prices are really heavy at the moment. Besides, the Colti has never let me down great or a little bigger it had, everything was always rather wear parts and thanks to LPG system also very cheap in maintenance (and I have to drive at least 150 km daily). I thank you in advance for your answers LG Speedy 302

  • Colt z30 (2012) Spark plugs, oil filter.

    Hi guys, I want to make my oil changes and have a question about the oil filter and spark plugs.https://www.amazon.de/…/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?…https://www.amazon.de/…/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?… I want to try Mannol instead of the expensive Castrol times, according to the test of the Tüv Rheinland you could take all alternative oils with VW and Mercedes release and Mannol should not even be worse than Castrol oil. The reason why, is because many of the oil producers in the same plant Now I have found the oil filter by Mann and according to the rating it should fit for the Colt VI 2012. The previous owner changed the spark plugs at 44,000 km and I have now 80,000 km on it and would like to install new spark plugs. Can someone give me a tip or link which are good and fit? I hear the NGK more often the best or rather Bosch.https://www.amazon.de/…/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?… Thank you for your experience

  • Engine control lamp lights after cooling water thermostat change

    Hello dear ones. I changed the cooling water thermostat some time ago. The engine didn’t want to get really warm in winter. Since then the engine control lamp lights up. Sometimes it goes off. Then it goes on again. Recently it stayed out for about 500 km. But then it went on again. I have already disconnected the battery several times. But it only led to the same problem. After the battery is disconnected, the engine has speed problems. p below 500. Then give a little bit of gas. That goes about 80 km. At some point he catches himself then. Recently I removed the engine control unit. The visual control resulted in a white stained edge. Elkos looked optically good. Lids were straight and were not arched. I cleaned the board with isopropyl alcohol and brush. After installation there were no speed problems. Battery I had disconnected before the ECU expansion. Engine control lamp lights up after about 15 km wi usually at constant speed on the highway or on the highway. There it goes out again. This morning the engine also had problems with the start. He usually stands in the garage. There he has not done it yet. But this morning he stood outside. I have a Mitsubishi Lancer V station Wagon with 83 kW and 113 hp. 1597cc. Year of construction 01.2000. Engine identification letter: 4G92. Maybe someone has an idea of what it can be. Otherwise he is currently taking good gas. and also has his performance. No matter whether the lamp is on or off.

  • Mitsubishi Spac Star 1.0 year 2016 – problem with heating

    Hello community, I’m new and this is my first post. I’m honest and I have registered especially for a problem that I have with the Space Star. Because I’m not a car expert, I don’t want to be active in your community. I hope you accept this and still want to help me. Now to my problem: Something’s wrong with the heater with my Space Star 10 year 2016. The two right-sided ventilation openings blow clearly cooler air here. from as the two left side. Almost left warm, right cold, with maximum heat adjustment. What can this be? And does the five-year guarantee cover this case? I thank you in advance for your support! Greeting, leinad
