  • CVT transmission makes strange noises

    Good day I have a problem for a long time, but the workshop can’t/will help me. Workshop Reason: We don’t know if the noise is normal, and since we don’t have a comparison vehicle, we can’t test it. Ok … what then defied me, I noticed that they had a comparison car a short time ago. But I noticed it too late and it was already sold. I hope you can listen to the file I uploaded. Sorry about the agony. i… but as one hears a very strange sound comes about when I give up while rolling (very) lightly and let go again.(so to say only briefly tap) Comes sometimes in the traffic jam before … or in the traffic calmed Berreich. Have a Lancer 2008 with CVT transmission 143 HP. Please for help ! Ps.: I had my cell phone fixed in the engine room … therefore one hears the engine so “loud”. But this “knarches” can also be heard in the interior.

  • Space Star Tank Indicator

    Hello together. After many “fat carts” and many motorway kilometers everything has changed now to corona – you hardly drive anymore thanks to home office. I still have 12,000 KM a year. Then a year ago I bought the Space Star 1.2 with 80 hp with CVT transmission BJ 2019. For distances up to 20 KM which I still have. You never notice that you are on the road with so little power – that is certainly the gearbox and the low weight. I am very satisfied with it, but one thing is annoying. k is quite small with 35 liters – but it is hardly possible to use it well. So it is like this: if the last bar of the indicator flashes, you have 10 liters in the tank according to the instructions. If you still drive ~10 kilometers, the indicator goes completely out. So you don’t even know where you are anymore. When I drive to the tank a maximum of 25 liters go in. So I have 10 liters left in it without any indicator….i.e. I could drive a good 60 – 70 KN further. I do a D somewhere. enkfehler? How should you use the tank volume well? So e.g. up to a rest of 5 liters or similar? How is that with you? Greetings Rainer

  • Space Star Bj 2023: Installation Rearview camera, experiences?

    Hello everybody, we have a new Spar Star Select for a few days now and are very satisfied so far. The gearbox is a bit rough, but it will definitely be a little bit rough 🙂 Now to my question. I would like to install a rear-view camera at the Space Star on the license plate. I have already done this for other cars a few times before. Therefore, I hope there is sufficient craftsmanship. Unfortunately, I do not have any information on the experience on the Internet. ngen found for own installation of the rear camera. Unfortunately, there is also no repair manual to buy, in which e.g. the dismantling of the bumper, interior cladding etc, are described. Therefore, I turn to you. Has one of you installed a rear camera and if yes, how? I would like to install one with radio from Auto Vox. Accordingly, I would only have to remove the bumper (covering), use the cable guidance of the license plate lighting inwards and in the trunk In the front, I would try to display the video signal to the Pioneer multimedia radio via an adapter. That would save me an extra monitor. I would be very happy about help/experience sharing. Thank you and greeting, Daniel

  • Questions about Space Star…

    Hello people I have intresses to a new space star. I have seen that there is the one in the Plus version with Start Stop automatic and brake assistant.. is both full???? have read in the inet that is a brake assistant in which EU is mandatory in new cars. Is that right??? So if I would get the Diamond version now, then I shouldn’t be driving with it??? Because he doesn’t have a brake assistant???

  • SpaceStar steering sporadically extremely heavy BJ2017

    Dear Forists! I need your opinion or feedback! We have a “problem” with our SpaceStar BJ2017. It is mainly driven by my wife. When I sometimes sit in the box, I always notice immediately how extremely difficult the steering is. Especially when it comes to shunting, you sometimes have the feeling that the complete steering support is missing…. a feeling like with my Opel Corsa A (it really had no steering support). If you are on the road for a while, g Is there nothing to complain about (except the weak reserve power, but this is probably a series). Then everything works as usual even at slow speeds….or suddenly stop (but only driving very slowly or mainly at park maneuvers). It is addressed by me at every customer service…seemingly everything is OK. But that can’t be so with a modern car? Thank you for your feedback/experiences! e and are regularly at a Mitsubishi dealer/workshop. Many greetings from the south

  • Red oil control lights up when standing after highway ride

    Hello Lancer friends, I drive a Lancer VII Wagon Bj 3/2007 with 2.0 engine. If I drive out on the highway and give gas (you know on the open highway you like to push a little bit more on the gas than usual) and I drive out on an exit and stand on a traffic light, then the red oil control lights up. As soon as I push the gas slightly again the red oil control extinguishes. If I drive in the city then I do not have this problem. Only if I drive on the highway with high speed iten driving it happens. I bought the car 1 month ago, it was 4 years ago, because the previous owner had a motor damage and could not find a new engine with a few kilometers of power. Luckily, after a long search, a good engine came up. Has any of you had the same experience? I look forward to your feedback. VG

  • What do I have to do at 57000 km?

    My Mitsubishi Space Star is built in 2015 and now has 57000 km. It is mainly short distances. Two years ago, an acquaintance made me privately the oil and brake fluid change as well as he changed the air and pollen filter. In the meantime, I drove about 5000 km. Can you tell me when I have to make the oil change again and what else happens? i this age of the car and mileage 57000. And my most important question : At which km-stand should the brakes be renewed (dishes and blocks)? Thank you, Greetings Iris
