  • 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

  • Mitsubishi? never again!!!

    My Outlander PHEV is seven and a half years old, bought it 5 years ago and was very happy until mid-November. Then the drama began: On November 17th, at the start of the event, I got the error message “Drive unit defective”. After I first suspected a marten damage and had it examined in a neighbouring workshop, he was dragged to a Mitsubishi workshop. They read the error (loader gun defective), charged me, could a So he had to go to another Mitsubishi workshop. After 10 days (overload due to several outlanders with the problem) they changed the loading gun. Courage request rejected, cost €2000,-. But the car still does not go. The workshop has brought a specialist from Mitsubishi, He has left after a day of troubleshooting unfinished things again. We have meanwhile in mid-December. In the following week was informed by Mitsubishi, it was not repaired. It could be the front motor. The workshop has reasonably refused to replace the engine on this assumption (cost €2000,-). It could be the battery or the converter. The workshop has again submitted a bill of laxity request-rejected, again asked a specialist –rejected. Now it suddenly says “it is probably the converter, cost without installation €10,000,-, but it could also be the battery €8000,-. So it could be the front motor, the converter od he will be the battery. In total €20,000,- without working time and the already installed charging protector for €2000,- Because the contract workshop also doesn’t know any more, I sent a letter to Mitsubishi to know how to proceed – no answer!!!

  • Emergency wheel

    Moinsen, I’d like some advice on the bike… Yes, the statistics speak against it, but without spare wheel / emergency bike I don’t feel comfortable on long distances. Does any of you have a solution to my problem? Does anyone have an emergency bike? Has any of you tried to get something like this? Please don’t have a discussion on the topic “doesn’t need a woman”. I’ve already experienced too much.

  • Outlander 2.2 Diesel went out and stopped starting

    Hello community, I have been standing here for a few weeks an outlander that went out during the ride and couldn’t get started any more. I measured the pre-shipment pressure which was at 0bar. I then removed the pre-shipment pump and saw that the pump hose still goes on a valve and then only up to the output/direction motor. I put the hose directly from pump to top, then the motor jumped with bitsl starter turn on. Then I have a new pump mi t slinging pot ordered because I assumed that the valve in the pump is defective. Unfortunately, the engine still doesn’t start. Error log when I read it the first time is attached, Now only one error is left with the incandescent time control unit.

  • Recommendation for purchase Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

    Hello, I am thinking about buying a PHEV of 03/2017 with approx. 90000 km as a second car for short distance. 1 year warranty would be included. Now I have read about the problem with the battery (software/BMS). Is there someone who has the same year of construction and similar km number? What is your experience with the range? According to the information I have so far, one can only record a software update from 2019. All older models have neither an update nor an update. second point I have read is that the oil level is rising and too much petrol in the oil is due to the many cold starts. What else should you pay attention to at the BJ? Is it even useful to buy the car? Thanks David

  • Carlinkit 4.0 wireless Carplay

    Hello, someone in the Outlander has already been able to gain experience. YouTube and co looks quite good. “Real”Experiences are, however, better for me. Greetings Ben

  • Oil consumption Eclipse Cross

    Good evening together, I thought that I already found my new one, since I looked on a dealer’s side the Eclipse Cross and that looks great already. I bitl Google fed and found a post that should probably tend to swallow at higher running speeds 1l oil on 1tsd km. Will the soup be cooked hotter than it is eaten or is there anything? Found one from 2018 with approx. 38tkm for 18.5k. In retrospect I got stutzig- little km for the age. How are eu re experience with the vehicle there are serious problems? Thank you and love greetings

  • All-weather tyres on Outlander PHEV

    I am pleasantly surprised. Since first registration in May 2019 we drive all-weather tyres of the Falken brand. The car now has almost 52,000 km down and the tyres still have a profile depth of about 5 to 5.5 mm (v+h). I checked this today, because the car has to be examined in May 2022. For a two-ton (empty weight) I find this very good. According to various tire tests, the wear limit should be reached with this mileage already long ago. The tyres are neither I swear on the all-weather tires of Goodyear 4 Seasons. But it wasn’t the same size in 2019. This has changed in the meantime. How are your experiences with tires on the Outlander? Does it actually deal with the tires as gently as it seems? It’s about the Outlander – and not about other models.

  • 1.8 Di-D 150: Rattle in the intermediate gas and hit steering wheel/pedals

    If the C4 Aircross (Diesel) is at operating temperature, then one hears a rattle in the intermediate gas range. At the same time, this rattle is accompanied by a clear stroke in the steering wheel and in the pedals, but both occur only when the outside temperature is well above 15 degrees and the engine has operating temperature (90 degrees). The workshop of the used car dealer was surprised and then the screws on the bend were then attached to the car. Rattlen was no longer there on the way home, but then came back on the next longer journey. What can it be and how can one document this so that the workshop can actually improve within the scope of the used car warranty?
