Mitsubishi L200 4

The 4th generation Mitsubishi L200 debuted in 2005 (in Europe in 2006). The creators took care of reducing the turning radius, installed powerful engines, modern equipment and made the pickup truck no less beautiful than the Pajero Sport 2 SUV. Many L200 cabin will seem cramped, but on the other hand, you can find instances with leather upholstery and climate control. Even the long route behind the wheel of the Mitsubishi L200 will not be a feat. 2.5-liter 136-horsepower turbodiesel by the standards of pickup trucks provides decent performance. On the road, fuel consumption falls below 8 l / 100 km. Dynamic driving in the city gives a result of 12-13 l / 100 km.

Engine

In Russia, only pickups equipped with a 2.5 turbodiesel with a 4D56 index of 136 and 178 hp were officially sold. with 178 hp version of the Mitsubishi L200 became available from dealers since 2014. There are gasoline versions on the market, but they are few and all imported. The gas distribution mechanism is driven by gear belts. One is a shaft and a crankshaft, and the other is a balancing shaft. The cost of a new set of belts valve timing 10 000 rubles, and work on replacement - 6-8 thousand rubles. The belts should be renewed every 60,000 km. In practice, there are cases of breakage of the belt of balancing shafts, hitting the gmb under the belt of the timing system with its subsequent jump or break, and, as a result, engine failure. In addition to the low quality of the belt of balance shafts or its untimely replacement, the cause of the break was the ingress of oil on the belt due to the current crankshaft oil (400-700 rubles). Among the possible reasons and violation of the technology of replacing the belt balancing shafts - tug. Mechanics recommend using a non-standard curtain - a metal shield that protects the belts from each other. The shield prevents the ingress of the gums under the belt of the HRM in the event of a break in the belt of the balance shafts. The cost of such preventive protection is about 2000 rubles. Unfortunately, the diesel engine is prone to overheating. This can lead to a breakdown of the gasket under the cylinder head, deformation of the cylinder head or even major repairs of the engine.

Transmission

Initially, a 4-speed automatic was available for a surcharge. It slows down the pickup and increases fuel consumption. Fans of automatic transmissions better look at the more powerful version (178 hp) with a 5-speed automatic transmission. There are few such versions on the market.

Both machines are quite reliable and hardy. Interruptions in the operation of automatic transmissions can occur due to a faulty inhibitor or damaged wiring.

There is no problem with the manual transmission. And the clutch usually runs at least 150,000 km. The new clutch will require 12,000 rubles, and the replacement work will require 6,000 rubles.

All-wheel drive system

A huge advantage of the Mitsubishi L200 is the presence of a permanent all-wheel drive with a central differential, which allows you to move in 4x4 mode on asphalt (the privilege of richer versions).

Despite the protection, dirt is stuffed from the bottom, which can lead to failure of actuators, electromagnetic valves and sensors.

Crossings of the driveshaft require regular maintenance - syringe. Replacement of crosses may be necessary after 200,000 km. After 200-300 thousand km, the SRUS of the front driveshaft (12 000 rubles for an analogue) can fail.

In some cases, the transfer case becomes a victim of a leaky ossuary, which was not detected in time. Dry work destroys bearings. Occasionally, it was necessary to update the chain (17 000 rubles for an analogue).

Walking

For each front wheel there are two transverse levers - the upper and lower. Both levers have a ball support (1300 rubles per analogue), which can wear out after 50-100 thousand km. From time to time come into disrepair and Silentblocks (400-500 rubles per piece).

After 150-200 thousand km can make noise or luft the front stage bearing. It changes in the collection with a hub - about 4000 rubles.

A little later, you may need an audit of the front brake calipers. They begin to peck due to the corrosion of the piston (1300 rubles plus 4000 rubles for work).

Over time, springs give up - an unpleasant creak appears.

There are springs on the rear axle. They can sit or burst (one of the sheets) after 200-250 thousand km. The collection of the resource will cost 5-7 thousand rubles, and the replacement work is estimated at 3000 rubles. It is worth noting that the resource of springs affects the degree of loading of the pickup truck.

Other problems and malfunctions

The corrosion of the Mitsubishi L200 body is nothing special. Traces of rust can be found under the linings, on the bottom and frame. The frame number is located in the area of the rear right wheel. Measures to protect it from corrosion will not be superfluous.

The steering wheel is noticeably dilapidated to 200-250 thousand km. The cost of repairs is about 4000 rubles. And closer to 250 000 km can fail the steering train (1000 rubles for an analogue).

Soon the engine of the heater (2200 rubles for an analogue), or the generator begins to fail (8-9 thousand rubles for an analogue), can make noise.

Sometimes problems are delivered and electrical wiring - damaged, or oxidized contacts.

The maintenance of pickup trucks was never considered cheap. The Mitsubishi L200 is no exception. Unfortunately, in addition to expensive maintenance, the car unpleasantly surprises with various breakdowns, the elimination of which can be very expensive. However, the performance characteristics are among the best in the class. As for the price, a good car will cost at least 600,000 rubles.
