I have Paint Protection on my car This seals off the paintwork ( I actually sell it in my job so I only Paid cost). My routine is hose it twice get as much crap off as you can any dirt left is going to be rubbed around. Use a big sponge or the likes and shampoo it thoroughly rinse off again. Twice. ...

Mine did the exact same thing it is only a year old though. Problem was that the piston rings were stuck leading to no compression.

If it's under Stat warranty there are certain things they are required to fix. Usually if buying from a dealer other than the manufacturer (ie Holden not mitsubishi) Holden will send it to another Mitsubishi dealer to diagnose and hopefully repair if its covered. No harm in trying.

And Welcome

I do my oil every 10000km and a proper service every six months. I do understand that I do a fair few k's a year but the oil has pretty much been perfect every time we've drained and replaced it. Wasn't a demo. I had to order from factory and waited four months for it. it was actually one of the fir...

Hey guys this was the official response I received from the dealership and it's all in writing so hopefully I can put this saga behind me now "We found your vehicle had no compression due to the piston rings sticking. This fault is found on lancer and colt vehicle’s. My technician added oil t...

Yes lucky for me I have a few around so I'll pick somewhere different next time
I think for all the fluid changes I'll just get my work to do it out of love or something :p haha

The engine definitely wasn't flooded. My problem is that nobody has given me a straight story and stuck with it. I work at a Holden dealership now and as Much as I would have preferred I can't take it there for warranty work. On Monday the service manager is emailing me the job card and a complete r...

So the latest story is that it wasnt hot oil but hot water. "steam was used to build pressure to fix the compression issues". The engine wasn't seized it just had no compression (which I know because that's what I told them). They still haven't told me how they diagnosed that and what caus...

Mitsy Dealership, Luckily the dealership I work at now has given me a company car and my boss has called their boss and started demanding answers. But yes slightly peeved. The story is now that it may not have been seized at all and nobody knows their shit right now. I'll be taking it to another mit...

I Trucked it to the selling mitsubishi dealer that I bought my car from!
Seriously My DP is ringing their DP now. But I cannot believe it.

Just called another Mitsubishi dealership and they said it was the most rediculous thing they've ever heard they are going to get the foreman to call me back when he's free.
If I do pick it up tomorrow I'm going straight to another dealership to get a second opinion.

So supposedly my engine seized, but they said there was no enging damage and they've poured hot oil over it to unsieze it. I'm a little concerned to just accept that though, They couldn't tell me why it happened just that they've seen it on a colt and a lancer in the last few weeks? Should I get my ...

For all those wanting to make sure they still get 5/130km warranty make sure it's written down in your contracts before the new changes come into effect. If your car is delivered after the cut off you may get the new 5/100km. I remember we discovered a few unhappy customers when mitsubishi phased ou...

Miss working for Mitsubishi because of these bulletins.
Not a fan of the renaming though I must admit!

I haven't been hence my Roadside has lapsed but yes for anyone else. Servicing with a mitsubishi dealer will extend your roadside assist
