Numerous reviews about Lancer 9 (Lancerf IX) make it possible to judge this car, as quite high quality and reliable. But since perfect cars do not happen, there are small disadvantages and weak points Lancer 9To pay attention to both the owners of Lancer IX, and those who are just going to purchase this car.
For each problem, we decided to find out the opinion of the site editor website, and part-time, the owner of Lancer 9.
Weak spots Mitsubishi Lancer. IX
Sensitivity to fuel quality
"92th or 95th?" - The question that is relevant to all owners of Mitsubishi Lancer 9. Disputes about the octane number are not stopped among the owners to this day. In the instruction manual, it is said that it is necessary to refuel gasoline with octane number 92, 95 and higher. Often in Russia 95th are manufactured by adding additives in the 92nd. As a result, it grows octane numberBut the quality of fuel worsens, from which the engine parts suffer. Output can be the use of 92th gasoline. The 98th, according to the observations of some owners of Lancer, can lead to overheating of the engine the failure of the valves.
Note From the site editor Website: directly disadvantaged or weak place, I do not consider the question. I used myself earlier (somewhere over a year and a half 95th gasoline - there was no problem). To date, for more than a year I have been using the 92nd and also there are no problems.
Fuel consumption Lancer 9
Fuel consumption is the first thing owner pays attention to. For the most popular engine version of 1.6 l, flow rate is: in the city - 8-10 l per 100 km, on the highway 6-9 liters per 100 km.
If consumption increases to 15 liters per 100 km, even with an engine of 1.6 liters, then this means that you need to pay attention to the catalyst. It is his pollution and leads to such big flow Fuel. The problem will be solved by replacing the catalyst. The failure of the catalyst contributes to the deposits of ferrocene. Ferrocene has a specific brick color and its deposits can be seen on the lambda probe and candles, which in this case will also have to be replaced.
If power disappeared and increased gasoline consumption, then the cause lies in the throttle. Some auto owners are foolishly advised to clean throttle valveWhen ineptly cleaning, this procedure threatens "swimming" turns. So be careful.
Note from the editor: I have a Lancer 9 with an engine 1.3l. Problems, about the flow, as you understand, does not arise.
Air conditioning Lancer 9.
Itself does not bring any problems. It is only necessary to include it for about once a week. It is necessary to do it even in winter. The goal is to prevent the tightness of the air conditioner seals. You can turn on it in the winter as follows: First, it is thorough to warm up the salon heater, and then turn on the air conditioner.
Note from the editor: To be honest, I never heard about this procedure, so I can't say anything about this, the air conditioner works perfectly.
Water in the salon Lancer 9
If the car has a smell of damp and rot, then most likely it is due to penetrating inside the water salon. In some cases, water can get through the plug between the lounge and the wheeled arch of the left front wheel. The problem is solved simply: you need to remove the mudguard, bend the liner and energetically put the plug in place.
Note from the editor: I did not come across this problem.
Noise insulation Lancer 9.
Noise isolation leaves much to be desired. This is especially true of thresholds and wheeled arches.
Note from the editor: I fully agree. Noise insulation of Lancer 9, unfortunately, is inferior to European cars. But this is generally weakness Virtually all "Japanese". In a short time, we plan to place an article on our website on Lancer IX noise insulation with your own hands.
Fad headlights Lancer 9
Due to the design of the headlight and can manifest itself in crude weather. Eliminated by turning on the near light. If this does not help, then it makes sense to contact the service center for warranty. In general, the problem is solved by cleaning the ventilation holes and lubricating them with a sealant.
Note from the editor: Plans tooling may occur after an unsuccessful tuning when their sealing is broken.
Disadvantages of optics Lancer 9
The owners have repeatedly noted that the brightness of the glow of the headlight is clearly not enough. Solved by replacing neighbor headlights and far Light More suitable in brightness or installation of xenon.
Note from the editor: I remind you that the installation of xenon lamps in the headlights that are not intended for this is prohibited. But "collective me", or no one will prevent you from installing special lenses.
Sufficiently high cost of official spare parts and maintenance Lancer 9
For a golf class car, Lancer is too high. original spare parts and maintenance. Of course, it is possible to reduce costs by using suitable non-original parts.
Note from the editor: As for the original spare parts, I agree, but the market has a huge number of analogues, so there are ways to reduce the cost of service without worsening quality.
Brake discs Lancer 9
Generally accepted weak place Mitsubishi. Lancer IX. Already to the first, they will need to be replaced, and at high speeds when braking will be "news". In some cases, they can crack or even split.
Note from the editor: about the first then you, of course, got excited. He encountered the problem of the driven drives, but it happened when run, somewhere in 80 thousand km.
Suspension Lancer 9.
Hard suspension. So long trips are not very good roads May be tired.
Note from the editor: Of course, how many people are so many opinions, but I do not consider Lancer suspension 9 too tough.
Fragile paintwork
Insufficient enamel strength can easily lead to cracks and chips, which in turn leads to rust.
Note from the editor: I myself noticed small chips on the thresholds rear door Somewhere to 85 thousand km. Mileage
Of the small deficiencies, I still want to note the size of the trunk and not the most successful location of the washer tank under the hood in a cold place, so it will not be able to save it without water and save.
In conclusion, we can say that the advantages of Mitsubishi Lancer IX is still much more than flaws, and with proper timely service, he is faithful to his owner, without delivering special problems.
50 ..Mitsubishi Lancer 9. Tosol flows from the expansion tank (the level of toosol falls)
Any motor in the process of work is experiencing serious loads and its temperature increases significantly. The heat obtained as a result of combustion is partially transmitted to the engine.
To avoid overheating power plant And the exit of its failure was offered to use antifreeze. It did not appear immediately, initially in old models of cars used ordinary distilled water and toosol.
Antifreeze is a mixture of purified water, ethylene glycol and glycerol. To enhance properties and extend the deadline for use, manufacturers use branded additives. Foams prevent formation, protect against corrosion and increase resistance to temperature differences.
It is necessary to pay attention to the color of antifreeze in the expansion tank. If it is better to use red. Mixing antifreeze of various colors is not recommended. This worsens operational qualities, leads to the appearance of a precipitate.
An unambiguous answer to the question is impossible. There are pitfalls and flows concerning the features of the operation of the car. It is necessary to establish the causes of leakage of antifreeze and then take measures to troubleshoot.
It is recommended to update the antifreeze at least once every 2 years. If the cooling fluid level reduction prevention system is often triggered. Even after a long-term use of the car, the antifreeze is required only in very small quantities.
Main reasons
The formation of microcracks in the expansion tank
- Cooling system connections do not have a reliable connection
-Prapping cracks in hoses or pipes
-Inost of thermostat strip
-Hard on the radiator
-Clocked radiator
-Helving liquid fell into motor oil
Causes of reducing the level of antifreeze in the expansion tank:
1.To closed lid of the expansion tank
Frequent cause Cooling fluid leaks. Comes by inattention and inconsistency of the driver. The expansion tank no twisted cover does not hold back the pressure of the arriving coolant. Antifreeze to peel through a loose connection.
The evaporating antifreeze turns into a whitish haze. To eliminate the fault, the lid is tightly clipped.
2. Revolutionage of the expansion tank
If damage is above the level of antifreeze, it will be difficult to notice.
A visual inspection on a working heated engine quickly detects leakage. The replacement of the tank is performed, since its repair is not possible. After repair at a certain time interval, the problem makes himself felt again.
3. When the hoses, tubes and places of connecting them with the radiator
Motor cooling system hoses and tubes are exposed to aggressive media. Temperature differences, oil, brake fluid And other chemicals.
Finding on rubber elements of hoses and tubes, after a while they cause them damage. Immediately at first glance, and visually find it difficult at the initial stage.
Damaged hoses and tubes change to eliminate the fault. It will not take much time and can be cope without help.
4.Freak amount of antifreeze
Expansion tank It has a mark on the surface, which is necessary to pour antifreeze. It is exactly half the total tank capacity.
Manufacturers have provided a special overflow. When the amount of antifreeze in the tank becomes critical of it, it starts through the overflow hole to flow. To prevent such cases, antifreeze is poured to the mark.
5.Furning radiator
The radiator is in the front of the car and is used to cool the antifreeze circulating in the cooling system of the motor. During the movement of the car, the radiator accepts small stones, dust and small particles with counter streams of air.
Frequently flying stones and fine rubber can damage the surface of the radiator and disrupt its integrity. Antifreeze begins through damage through damage. The level can drop quickly and it all depends on the degree and sizes of damage.
It is not always easy to find the place of depressurization of the radiator is not always simple, so if there is confidence that Tosol flows because of it, then you need to do dismantling. Then in the radiator clog all the holes except one and placed it into the water. To the hole, which remains open to connect the hose with air. The air will find a way out of the radiator just through the gap, so that bubbles are very easy to find a place of defect. In the case of a hole in the tube, you can simply start both of its end, but such elimination of leaky leaks gradually leads to a deterioration of the heat sink.
If there is no desire to remove the radiator, then you can use a special sealant. It can be gel or powdered. Better first, because it is harmless, but eliminating the leaks of antifreeze using powder sealant will continue to clog the channels in the stove radiator. Method how to eliminate leaky toxol with gel sealant is very simple, since it is necessary to simply pour it into the cooling system, and it myself will find the place of depressurization and when contacting the air will happen chemical reaction And the sealant will climb.
6.Digid
One of the most unpleasant types of leakage of antifreeze-appearance of it in the engine combustion chamber. Determined by white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. In the air in the area exhaust pipe appear sweet odor. This is the first sign of combustion of antifreeze with fuel.
Another sign of antifreeze input to the engine is the appearance of white climb on the oil probe. Alone to repair the car is problematic without using special equipment.
For prompt detection of antifreeze care from the tank, it is necessary to look more likely under the hood of the car. This will help faster to respond to malfunctions and execute repair work With minimal material costs. Antifreez deficiency negatively affects the cooling of the engine.
Other reasons
Worst of all, if tosol leak from under the head is detected. To begin with, you can stretch the head of the block, but for this you need to know the tightening scheme and have dynamometric key. If it did not help, you will have to disassemble the engine and change the gasket.
It may be that Tosol goes through the gasket not outwardly, but in the engine. This is determined by gray smoke from the exhaust pipe, which resembles a couple or by oil ShchuIf there is a white flare on it.
Sometimes it also happens that the cooling fluid level falls, but it does not work on the engine to find traces of leaving. In this case, it is necessary to look for Toslas in the cabin. From the driver's side, as well as on the side of the passenger, you need to lift the rug. If the mat is wet or under it, it means toxol flows from the heater radiator.
The cheapest way to eliminate such a defect is the same gel sealant of the cooling system. If he did not give the desired result, then you have to remove the stove radiator and solder it or change it. It is bad that in order to remove the heater radiator, you need to fully disassemble the front panel, because otherwise it will simply fail to get it. If the stove radiator is not expensive, it is better to replace it, because the soldering will not guarantee the same quality.
Such a fault cannot be attributed to the "deadly" for the car, however, it can create problems for the driver. In this case, the generator will work with an increased load, which speeds up the output of it. Also low temperature The coolant will not allow creating comfortable conditions when traveling during the cold season at Mitsubishi Lancer 9, fuel consumption will increase. Find and eliminate a malfunction for the drivers of these machines, sometimes even the availability of a car tester will not even need.
Where are the search start
First of all, check the level of coolant in the engine, as the insufficient level will cause fast warming and the inclusion of fans. Also, the purity of the cooling surface of radiators has a huge effect. Contamination of the plates will not allow to effectively remove the excess heat. Purge of the radiator with compressed air can solve such a problem.
Check the thermostat performance, since if it is in a closed state, cooling fluid overheating. Check it, you can not remove from the engine. To do this, take it the lower nozzle of the radiator, which should be hot. If this is not observed, disconnect the fan power connector and let me work the motor. The heating of the lower nozzle confirms the health of the thermostat, and the problem may be in the electrical equipment of the car.
What do in this case
The automotive tester check the temperature pointer sensor, which is installed in the thermostat housing. Disconnect the wires from it and measure its resistance to the mesmer. Automotive electricians have special resistance tables of this sensor, depending on the temperature of the coolant. In the conditions of the garage, it is possible to do without them. The device should not show, break the sensor or its short circuit.
After that, the electronic fan control unit is inspected. It can be easily found on the frame of the radiator of the engine cooling system. It is suitable for harness consisting of three wires. They serve a mass, + power and control signal from electronic block Engine control. It should be carefully removed from the car, then disassemble and suck all the contacts with a small power soldering iron. If after such an operation the problem is not eliminated, this unit will have to replace. His acquisition is not today a problem. They are available in retail chains, as well as on car disassembly.
