MITSUBISHI LANCER IX maintenance and repair: Mal Ulan, and the lives. Mitsubishi Lancer X: Pluses and Cons Generation X Darling Lee in Mitsubishi Lancer maintenance

18.09.2020

Lancer is a typical representative of the long-lived model. The first cars with this name were born in 1973. It was called a70, but, for example, the Americans recognized him as Dodge Colt. Canadians Lancer is familiar with Plymouth Colt, and in some other countries he wore names Dodge Lancer, Colt Lancer, Chrysler Lancer and Valiant Lancer. Already in 1974, "Flying Singh" (so called the famous rally rider Joggender Singha) on the sports version Mitsubishi Lancer. GSR 1600 won the Safari Rally. In the future, the GSR 1600 will become the winner in this race again and four times - in the Southern Cross rally. So that sports Story Lancer can only be envied.

The ninth generation took place on the conveyor in 2000, but in Russia, this Lancer appeared only in 2003. Why so long? The main reason was the complete failure of Mitsubishi Lancer Fiore on Euroncap crash tests in 1998. But still the car was improved, and three years after the presentation of the prototype, the premiere took place serial car. And held it in Moscow, at the international motor show. Lancer quickly won the location of motorists, but, as Alexander Sergeevich once wrote, "... And our grandchildren in good time from the world will be supplanted and us!". At the end of 2007, the Ninth Lancer was removed from production in connection with the release of Lancer H. But not long. Already in December 2008, the Lancer IX plant got up on the conveyor again, and since 2009 it could again be bought from dealers. True, now the Mitsubishi Lancer Classic nameplate appeared on it. The production lasted until 2011, after which the fans of Lanserov did not have anything else, how to buy cars of the tenth family. Which, honestly, is not at all like the Lancer IX hiking Lancer IX.

For dealers, for all time, it was possible to buy cars with motors 1.4, 1.6 and 2 liters, in three grades until 2008 and in two - Classic, the one that was revived as Phoenix Bird, in 2009. Today, we are smuggling the Lancer 2004 release, with a 1.6 liter motor and a manual transmission. The hostess of the machine Nastya Bangiyeva was lucky: his friend Alexander's friend is engaged in serving her Mitsubishi. We do not know how it is reflected on the relationship of young people, but they immediately realized that a peculiar imprint on the attitude of Alexander was postponed to this car. The car's mileage is 192 thousand kilometers, which allows you to evaluate the operational properties of the ninth Lancer.

Engine

An inline four-cylinder atmospheric 1.6-liter motor of our car in its "stable" contains 98 "horses". And, apparently, the most tasty in the world for this herd - engine oil. The oil appetite of the Ninth Lancer is known for almost all owners of this car, especially if his mileage passed for one hundred thousand. Already a hundred and fifty passed thousands of many owners pass the nerves, and they change valve stem seals and piston rings. Oil consumption of our Lancer with a mileage of just less than 200 thousand such that it makes no sense to change the oil: it is always fresh, because it has to top up for a month and two liters a couple of times a month. Some engines tend to eat oil from a young nail, and in the instruction manual it is said that consumption in one liter is ten thousand kilometers - this is the norm.

Otherwise, this 4G18 series of the Orion series is having to deliver the owner. The timing belt replacement is better to spend in the car service, the approximate cost of work together with the replacement of the pump will be 7,000 rubles. The price of the original roller - about 2,500, the original belt is about 1,800, but the pump is better to take the unoriginal: it is too expensive. The price of AIRTEX's details will be about 1,500 rubles.

Motor oil, if desired, can be replaced independently. There are no subtleties here, however, it's a bit uncomfortable oil filter. Muticiation related to this work own handswill benefit at 500-700 rubles. The cost of the filter itself is about 300 rubles per well-known analogue. The air filter can be changed and you can. This procedure is so simple that any person has two classes of education and at least one hand will cope with it. Top of the filter body, we fold two latches and - voila! Pull out old filter And insert a new one. The cost of the filter ranges from 300 to 400 rubles. The issue of the cost of the work at a specialist of the hundred called a smile, but he was still able to at least somehow appreciate this work: 200 rubles. But you now know that they can be spent somehow more interesting!

If you opened the hood, then at the same time we see how to fulfill another procedure yourself, often causing difficulties among owners of other cars. We are talking about replacing light bulbs in the headlights. The owner of the Ninth Lancer must be grateful to the designers of the car, which made this operation simple, as a replacement of a paw in the usual sconce on the wall of your apartment. Do not remove the battery, air filter Or the headlight itself, just disconnect the connector and remove the rubber protective case. Access to the lamp is open, you can pull out the old lamp and put a new one.

Also, just if desired, change the spark plugs. We remove the connectors from the ignition coils, unscrew the bolts for 10, their fixing and then you can unscrew the candles. No difficulties cause this work. If desired, you can change the generator and air conditioner belts itself (which also drives the GUR). The cost of each belt is 400 rubles, access to them is quite free to replace - no nozzles interfere. Weaken the nut, shift tension roller On the guide, take off the belt. Photos will not - clearly do not remove, alas.

In cold weather, the ninth Lancer may have a problem with a thermostat. Usually it has to change it. But it is not necessary to hurry in the service, for this work on this machine does not require the skills of a professional car mechanic. It is attached by two bolts that are clearly visible. Get ready after replacing parts to add one and a half or two liters of antifreeze during operation during operation.

Salon and Body

Ninth Lancer - real Machine time. It is worth only to sit in the driver's seat, and you immediately feel even not in zero, but in the nineties. It is just apotheosis of practicality and laconic design. And the materials are used quite decent, and neither the instrument panel, nor the upholstery of the seats do not look cheap. But here's what they look too simple - this is a fact.

However, it is convenient to sit behind the wheel of the lancer, the adjustments are quite enough, and adjust the steering wheel (the steering column is adjusted only by tilt) and the chair is removed immediately. The landing is so low that first there is a fear of wing pants about asphalt, but you get used to it quickly. The readings of the devices are read perfectly and their species resemble a worthy sports history of the car. A little uncomfortable handle parking brake: She sticks out closer to passenger seat. The moves of the gearbox handle (we have a five-speed "mechanics" F5M41-1-R7B5) very short and accurate. But the pedals have long moves and, in my opinion, a little "empty". But you can get used almost immediately. But the actuation of the ABS at the speed of over a hundred kilometers per hour with the reason and without - it is still a mysterious phenomenon. Most likely, it's just a breakdown of the specifically of our car.

Motor, and aerodynamic noises, and tire noise are well audible in the cabin. It is still heard that the suspension rattle, but a little later.

What nuances of the cabin will useful to know every owner of Lancer? Most likely, about such a, for example, that the cabin filter changes in a few seconds, and for the sake of this, too, should not handle a hundred. Opening the glove box, look at its left side wall. There is a rectangular plug, which is actually a lid stopper. If you press it on the reverse side, it will fall into the "Bardac", and it will be possible to throw it back by opening access to salon filter. Unscrewing two bolts insert new filter (It costs 400 rubles), and we buy everything on saved 500 rubles everything that the soul will want. Moreover, the reason to reward themselves for the works of the righteous now there.

And now we look down, on the floor on the left side of the driver's seat. There we see lever drives for opening trunk and gas tank trim. And they are most likely rusty. To prevent their final immobilization, they must be monitored, but in extreme cases they will help to reanimate WD40.

Weak Salon Lancer IX - Climate Unit. Namely - the drive handle of the heater damper. The drive cable has a tendency to be engaged, as a result of which it has to be changed. But very soon to do the replacement of the cable will not work. The fact is that over time, gear teeth and the drive begins to climb when adjusting the temperature in the lever. In this case, the cable must be changed along with the lever of the damper control.

Chassis and brakes

There is nothing unusual in the suspensions of Lancer. Ahead - MacPherson with a stabilizer transverse stability, Rear is an independent spring "multi-dimension". For the whole of a considerable mileage, our Lancer cost without repair chassis. True, it is noticeable both on the go and on the lifting. But 190 thousand is a very good mileage, especially since there is not too critical problems. Yes, and the repair of this suspension is not so roads. For the "Capitals" of the rear suspension, about 16 thousand will be needed on the spare parts (including shock absorbers and springs), and another 10-12 thousand will have to pay car service crafts. Middle mileage to the inevitable intervention in rear suspension It is usually 3-4 years old, but this period significantly depends on the quality of the parts used in the repair.

In the repair of the front suspension there is one feature: ball supports are pressed into the levers and change assembly with them, when trying to replace them separately, the most unwanted outcome is possible: the ball can fly out of the lever. Also, a stabilizer stand changes with the lever. The lever assembly can cost from two thousand rubles for an analogue of questionable quality (according to the master, it is enough for it for a year) to five thousand for good detail. Replacing the lever with a stabilizer stabilizer will cost approximately 1700 rubles.

There is nothing unusual in the suspensions of Lancer. Ahead - MacPherson with a cross-stability stabilizer, rear is an independent spring "multi-dimensional". For the whole of a considerable mileage, our Lancer cost without repair chassis. True, it is noticeable both on the go and on the lifting. But 190 thousand is a very good mileage, especially since there is not too critical problems. Yes, and the repair of this suspension is not so roads.

  • On the conveyor: Since 2007.
  • Body: Sedan, Hatchback
  • Russian gamma engines: gasoline, P4, 1.5 (109 hp), 1.6 (117 hp), 1.8 (143 hp), 2.0 (150 hp)
  • Transmission: M5, A4, variator
  • Drive unit: Front, full
  • Restyling: In 2010, the total number of modifications is reduced, but after a couple of years, it became available new Motor 1.6 and changed the front bumper, radiator grille, front fog and rear optics; Improved noise insulation, the instrument panel is updated.
  • Crash tests: year 2009, Euro NCAP.; Overall rating - Five Stars: Protection of adult passengers - 81%, Protection of children - 80%, Pedestrian protection - 34%, Safety Assistants - 71%.

Motors of all types have a regular belt resource hinged equipment And his rollers - from 100,000 km, and the supports of the engines live much longer than that of the previous Lancer.

  • On modifications with a motor 1.5, an electric power steering unit is installed built into the steering rack. On the machines of the first years of release, it was very rare, but the system failures occur. The amplifier either turned off at all, or worked only when the steering wheel is rotated. Attempts to repair did not bring due results and ultimately had to replace the steering mechanisms assembled by the bats. In general, the electric powerful on Lancer does not cause trouble. Unlike Subaru, Ford and Mazda, Mitsubishi electric racks are reliable: the knocks are not about them.
  • On versions with motors 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0, set classic GUR. Sometimes it pops up the trunk of the return on the rake to the pump: rubber tubes are shared in places of fasteners to the steering mechanism. It is important to replace the GUR liquid in accordance with the Rules - every 90,000 km. To this race, the products of natural wear in the lubricant are already decently clogged with a filter grid in the pump tank.
  • Alas, a good picture with the reliability of the plates of both types spoils a low resource of steering and tips - on average a little more than 60,000 km.
  • As with the predecessor, the rear silent blocks of the front levers are not distinguished by an enviable resource - only 60,000 km go. They can be replaced separately, but about 90,000 km dies a ball support that goes only assembled with the lever. Therefore, if the rear silent block is broken, it is rational to replace the lever assembly.
  • The front shock absorbers go on average 120,000 km. When they are replaced updated and support bearings to once again Do not remove knots.
  • Front I. bushings rear stabilizers - consumables. They are changed every 30,000 km. Stands front stabilizer Also not particularly alternate: the resource is about 40,000 km.
  • Like the predecessor, the tenth Lancer brake mechanisms It is necessary to serve when replacing the pads - brush the guides in the calipers brackets, lubricate your fingers. This is especially important for rear brakes. Without prevention, the mechanisms quickly zak. The pads cease to move away from the disk, it means that elevated wear and overheating, screens and other extraneous noises are inevitable. With a serviceable system, the front pads go 30,000-50,000 km, and the rear is about 90,000 km.
  • The rear suspension of 1.5- and 1.6-liter modifications is deprived of a stabilizer, but it can be determined - the mounting holes are unified.
  • In the silent blocks, the bolts of adjustment of the collapse and convergence are pretty quickly. Alas, prevention is only one - check and adjust the corners of the wheel installation every 60,000 km. If you lose the moment, the repair will cost much more expensive.
  • The resource of the neutralizer and oxygen sensors is minimum of 100,000 km. Most often, lambda probes denied due to the cliff of the inner circuit of their heating. Original sensors are very expensive, so servicemen use cheaper, but decent analogs of the company DENSO.
  • In order to save, often in the resulting neutralizers, there are penetrating cells, and on the second lambda probe, which controls the efficiency of the system, is set to a bell. This is a small spacer between the sensor and the flow of exhaust gases. It is embedded in a kind of small neutralizer with honeycombs, which successfully imitates the work of the expensive node.
  • After 100,000 km burst the ring of the receiving pipe. This is a common sore. Exhaust system Immediately increases the voice.

Achilles of the Tenth Lancer Fifth - variable speed drive. It is available only for versions with 1.8 and 2.0 motors. Even with competent maintenance and operation, the variator lives on average only 150,000 km. Full and qualified repair implies a mandatory replacement for many expensive parts, and the final price tag of recovery comes to 120,000 rubles. Therefore, there are very in demand in the market. Proposals are sufficient, and the price is tolerable - 60,000 rubles. On Lancer is the aggregate of the Japanese company Jatco JF011E. They are equipped with outlanders and many models of the Renault-Nissan concern.

In addition to the negligent attitude of the owners, the life of a whimsical transmission strongly reduces the unsuccessful arrangement of its cooling radiator. On the dorestayling models, it costs under the bumper, almost on the front left wheel hump, as a result, quickly turns the mud - and the variator overheats. Therefore, the radiator has to be dismantled and rinsed before each summer season. There are pitfalls here - the node is subject to corrosion. Even with the first removal of hoses from his fittings, the risk of breaking them, and they completely dump the rug to 120,000 km. New radiator It costs 20,000 rubles, so the servicemen picked up an analogue from Kia / Hyundai machines, which is almost three times cheaper.

Surprisingly, when restyling Lancer in 2010, the cooling radiator variator was completely removed - as on Outlander. Transmission began to overheat even stronger. Fortunately, the Salvation Scheme is worked out: the radiator put on the former regular place using the very Korean analogue. Either the radiator suitable in the parameters and endure it in front of the main regular. In both cases, it will be needed to replace the housing of the heat exchanger of the Variator "DoreForm". In modern execution, it has only two conclusions under the highway of antifreeze circulating on the engine cooling system, and you need two more additional under the new oil circuit.

It is very important to change the oil in the variator at least once in 90,000 km - it is in the presence of an oil radiator. If it is not, the interval should be shorted. When replacing it is desirable to remove the pallet to estimate the amount of chips (wear products) at its bottom and on special magnets. This allows you to judge the health of the variator and approximately ask how much it remains to live. Also assesses the state of the bobbin variators before buying them.

Extend the life of a variator and careful operation. The transmission of this type is especially afraid of shock loads (when the bucks wheels suddenly find good grip With expensive) and sharp accelerations.

Five-speed mechanical boxes Transmissions are available for all motors, but have constructive differences Depending on the engine family. For engines 4a (1.5 and 1.6) there is one unit, for 4B (1.8 and 2.0) - another. At the same time both boxes are reliable. But you can kill everything, so the negligent holders note: now the mechanics for Lancer on the analysis is more expensive than the variator - 75,000 rubles. The manufacturer installed by the manufacturer to replace the oil in boxes is 105,000 km.

Four-stage classic automaticalready a dealer, but unnecessary. It is available for Motors 1.5 and 1.6. Servicemen could not remember the weak points of this box. The oil is recommended to change no less often in 90,000 km.

Word owner

Maria Mishulina, Mitsubishi Lancer X (2008, 1.8 l, 143 hp, 140 000 km)

Lancer X I chose because of appearance and because of love for Japanese cars. I have a lot of experience in communicating with them, including recruiters. I bought the car in 2012 - with a mileage of 98,000 km and after two owners.

Before me, the car operated my friend, so I was sure that her condition is good.

I was looking for a car with a variator - I like such a transmission. In addition, the Lancer of this generation did not have other options that combine a relatively powerful motor and automatic. I know that the variator is short-lived and roads in repair, therefore sold the car when the mileage reached 140,000 km. Transmission worked without complaints, but I did not want to risk.

The car demanded only regulatory service With the replacement of consumables. Alas, it did not cost without an accident. Damage to the front part were unsiler, but prices for original spare parts plunged into shock. It is good that the Lancer can always find details for the sane money on disassembly.

Objective minuses: mediocre noise insulation, low quality interior trim and little trunk. The rest of the Lancer arranged me, and I disagree with the views that he was very outdated.

Word seller

Alexander Bulatov, Sales Manager with Mileage of the company "SERVIS +"

Lancer X pleases high liquidity on secondary market, despite the fact that against the backdrop of more recent competitors, it is morally outdated. Age is well noticeable in interior: boring design, cheap materials, poor noise insulation. But Lancer still clings his appearance. Good demand has all modifications. Lancer for an adequate price awaits his buyer a maximum week. The most popular - versions with motors 1.8 and 2.0 and variator. Of course, the variator requires timely service and competent operation, but with him in the city is more comfortable.

The reverse side of high liquidity is increased attention of hijackers and an abundance of fraudulent sale announcements. Focus on prices official dealers - So you cut off a potentially dangerous segment of proposals.

In general, Lancer is reliable and interesting car. It's not so difficult to find specimens in good technical condition Even with decent mileage. However, in my opinion, the tenth generation is somewhat overvalued in the secondary market. You should not consider cars more expensive than 400,000 rubles, because within half a million you can buy cars class above, for example Ford Mondeo. or Mazda 6.


Good day. In today's article I will tell about weak spots Mitsubishi Lancer 10 ( Mitsubishi. Lancer. X). We agree on the shore - the article is written by a dealer, the author has no longer experience in operating period 10 Lancer, but the ninth Lancer he owned more than 2 years.

Mitsubishi Lancer X debuted back in 2007, and since then the world has developed a huge number of Japanese cars, which now with enviable regularity are found in the used vehicles. The "tenth" lancer x and now looks quite pretty. And that is why Lancer X with mileage without difficulty find new owners. Playing a Japanese car and his hand high reliability. However, quite trouble-free operation Mitsubishi. Lancer x 10 can not call.

Body problems and LCP.

Lancer X body metal is thin enough, but even on the oldest versions japanese car Rust stains you will not see. Is that in the area of \u200b\u200bthe trunk can be discovered several "spiders". All due to the fact that moisture enters the trunk through the rear lights loosely adjacent seals.

Well, the classic of the genre - Thresholds:

But the paintwork of the Lancer X body cover could be more resistant to external influence. Almost all cars are full of small scratches and chips. Another minus is a soft plastic of the front headlights. Over time, he is furious, which makes the Lancer x a little cold. Fortunately, if you wish and return them to the former transparency.
Inside Mitsubishi Lancer X will not inspire. The Salon of the Japanese car is made of frankly cheap hard plastic, which in time begins to a freshly creak. When buying a car, pay attention to the condition of the armrests. The fabric on them is quickly rubbed, so that according to her state, you can indirectly judge the real mileage of the car.

Weak electrical equipment Lancer 10.

Electrical equipment Mitsubishi Lancer X as a whole works without comments. Only after 5-6 years of operation can be checked quite expensive motor fan motor. On some cars, there were problems with electrical heating seats and a mechanism for folding rearview mirrors. The benefit that they did not receive mass distribution.

Engine reliability.

Of all the engines that were installed on a Japanese car, the most unsuccessful will have to recognize the gasoline power unit with a volume of 1.5 liters. The main problem of this power unit - Cocking piston ringswhat leads to increased consumption motor oil. So after 60 thousand kilometers of run owners Mitsubishi. Lancer X with this engine will have to periodically monitor the oil level.

The remaining engines offered for Lancer X are not affected by oil glitter. And if possible, it is better to stop their choice on them. An ideal option for a Japanese car can be considered a 1.8 liter gasoline engine. With competent maintenance, he calmly maintains 250-300 thousand kilometers. Approximately the same resource also has a two-liter gasoline power unit. The undoubted plus of these engines is the fact that in their gas distribution mechanism, a chain is used, which years does not require attention.

Although no small problems do not do in this case. Gentle block throttle valve We have to clean every 30-40 thousand kilometers. After a run of 50-70 thousand kilometers, it is still more and more often to pay attention to the state of the belt of mounted units. And to change in the case of which not only it will have, but also videos. To run 100-150 thousand kilometers on Lancer X, as a rule, begins to hilt front gland crankshaft.

Weak places in the transmission.

Mechanical box GETRAG F5M gear shift, working paired with a 1.5-liter engine, has proven itself not too well. Many owners complained that the clutch in the box had to be changed after 40-50 thousand kilometers. Bearings are not too survivable primary Val.. AISIN gearbox manual, which was installed on the Lancer X version with two other gasoline engines, much more reliable. Although in it after a run 100 thousand kilometers of transmission, it is started to switch with a little effort. Frequently often on Mitsubishi Lancer X can be found and. He does not deliver special problems. Only occasionally the owners complain that the variator does not switch the transmission modes. This happens because of the poor contact of the selector. However, it is important to understand that the repair of the variator in the case of which it will cost more such on the "mechanics". So before buying a car with a variator, it is better to spend thorough diagnosis of this node. And already during operation, try not to overheat the transmission and periodically check the purity of its radiator. In addition, every 70-80 thousand in the variator will have to change quite expensive oil. If you follow all these advice, the stepless transmission may be able to withstand from 250-300 thousand kilometers. The same resource has a four-stage "Automatic" Jatco, which was installed on Mitsubishi Lancer X with gasoline engine 1.6 liter volume.

Suspension reliability.

The suspension of the Japanese car is reliable. But to extend the service life, try to periodically clean it from sand and salt. It is precisely because of them prematurely begins to creak the racks and bushings of the stabilizer. Before restyling, the most complaints of the owners of the Lancer X collected the front, which in some cars were withstanding only 30-40 thousand kilometers. After updating the car this problem It was solved. Rack resource increased several times. The same situation and hub bearings. On cars from the first parties, they endured only 60-80 thousand kilometers, but after a couple of years their resource became noticeably higher.

Steering problems.

The reliability of the steering of the Japanese car will have to talk with a light-up to this engine, which is installed under the hood. On vehicles with a basic semi-liter engine in a steering control instead of "hydraulics", an electrical inspector was installed. It is on these versions steering Reika And traction could begin to knock after 40-50 thousand mileage kilometers. However, owners of used cars fear of particularly nothing. Most of the problems managed to appear in the warranty period, so almost all cars expensive node was replaced by warranty.

About brakes.

IN brake system The Japanese car more than any complaints enters the caliper guide brackets, which begin annoying bright over 40-60 thousand kilometers. Otherwise, no problem should be. The interval of the replacement of disks and pads in the Lancer x is no different from that on car-competitors.

Outcome.

Mitsubishi Lancer X has weak points, but in fact they are not so much. Most classmates of the Japanese car unpleasant surprises present much more often, so buying Lancer X can be safely. But from the base versions with a 1.5 liter engine, it is better to refuse, giving preference to cars with more powerful force aggregates volume of 1.8 and 2 liters.
