Mitsubishi Lancer 10

Mitsubishi Lancer tenth generation was introduced in January 2007 and in the spring went on sale. The car was offered in two versions of the bodywork - a sedan and a hatchback. In 2011, Lanzer experienced facelifting. Lancer, in one of the translations from English, means - Ulan (ordinary in light cavalry). Strong spirit was to emphasize the appearance of the car and reliability indicators.

Engines

Initially, the Mitsubishi Lancer X was offered with three gasoline engines - a working volume of 1.5 liters (109 hp), 1.8 liters (143 hp) and 2.0 liters (150 hp). In 2011, there was an engine with a capacity of 1.6 liters (117 hp). And in 2012, after restyling, the engines of 1.5 liters and 2.0 liters were removed from the line. Common problems of engines include the “sweating” front crankshaft oil when running more than 100-150 thousand km. If you do not rush to replace, then the oil that got on the damper pulley of the drive belts can put it out of action (softens the damper). Then to 600-700 rubles for oil and 300 rubles for work will have to add about 5000 rubles for a new pulley. A little later can "fill" the laying of the valve cover (600-1500 rubles). When running more than 60-100 thousand km often burns out the sealing ring of the exhaust pipeline, which is why Lancer begins to growl. The new ring costs about 1-2 thousand rubles. For the work on its replacement will have to pay about 2000 rubles. Oxygen sensors may require replacement after 100,000 to 150,000 km. The engine with a working volume of 1.5 liters (4A91) with a mileage of more than 100-150 thousand km sometimes begins to eat up oil. The reason for the oil “gluttony” is the occurrence of rings. Sometimes, bullies are found in the cylinders. The contract engine can be purchased for 40,000 rubles, and the replacement work will pull up to 20,000 rubles. In some cases, after 200-250 thousand km, the problem of increased oil consumption overtakes other engines. The reason is the same - the occurrence of piston rings. However, the scale of the problem is not as large as in the case of the basic 1. 5.

Transmission

Any motors were accompanied by a 5-speed manual transmission. The manual transmissions installed on the Mitsubishi Lancer with a 1.5 liter engine before 2008 had design defects and were not highly reliable. Among the common faults are current drive glands, extraneous noise and failure of the first gear synchronizer. Problems had to face with runs of more than 40-70 thousand km. Many owners of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 with manual transmission complain of a push when switching from 1st to 2nd gear or “biting” the switch lever in the first gear position. There is no concrete way to solve the “disease”. Some helped to replace the clutch, others claim that it all went by itself. Clutch usually serves more than 150-200 thousand km. The new set will cost 12,000 rubles, and the work on its replacement is estimated at 4000 rubles. "Automatic" was installed in a pair with engines of 1.5 and 1.6 liters, and "Variator" - with engines of 1.8 and 2.0 liters. 4-speed automatic box F4A4B is quite reliable. There's almost no comment on her. Except that on cars 12-16 model year were tremors during switching, which were eliminated by updating the software. The JF011E is not a problem either. Although cases of repair and occur after 200-250 thousand km. With long-term movement at high speed, the variator often overheats, as reported by the "cog" on the display of the onboard computer. It is noteworthy that after restyling, the cooler of the working fluid of the variator was completely removed, which aggravated the situation.

Walking

In Lancer's suspension, the front shock absorbers were the first to surrender - traces of leakage appeared on the rod. The average resource of the rack is about 50-80 thousand km. For a new one will have to pay about 3000 rubles. Rear shock absorbers went longer - more than 100-120 thousand km. In addition, over time, the anthers of depreciation racks began to “grunt”. Following the front shock absorbers came the turn of bushings and racks of stabilizers of transverse stability - about 60-80 thousand km. The bearings of the front pillars nursed about 90-120 thousand km (600 rubles). The front stage bearings of the Lancer X will last more than 80-120 thousand km, the rear - more than 100-150 thousand km. Front bearings in the original cost about 3-4 thousand rubles, analogues - 1.5-2 thousand rubles. The rear bearings are changed only in the assembly with the hub. The original hub will cost 12,000 rubles, an analogue - about 6000 rubles. The cost of work on the replacement of the bearing is estimated at about 1000 rubles. The levers of the Lancer suspension run more than 100-150 thousand km. The cost of the original lever is about 5-7 thousand rubles. By this time, the ball supports "die." Avoid expensive replacement of the lever will help overpressing the ball. The cost of ballroom is about 900 rubles. Repeat this procedure on one lever twice is not necessary for security reasons. With a run of more than 150-200 thousand km, many owners of Mitsubishi Lancer X note the subsidence of the rear springs. Steering rods and tips will last more than 60-90 thousand km. The tip will cost 1-2 thousand rubles, thrust - 2-3 thousand rubles. After 80-120 thousand km can knock or leak the steering rack. The new rack costs about 40-50 thousand.

Other problems and malfunctions

Body iron Mitsubishi Lancer is resistant to the harmful effects of aggressive environment and is not prone to corrosion. And the paintwork, traditionally for modern machines, is soft and easily scratched.

However, on age-old instances, owners sometimes notice red spots at the bottom of the front wing (behind the wheel). After removing the wing, the cause is discovered - the accumulation of dirt. At the same time, corrosion affects the lower bracket of the wing mount.

The interior of the Mitsubishi Lancer X eventually begins to creak. The plastic screed can accompany the rattling of the hood stop at the place of attachment to the body.

Inserts under aluminum, leather trim steering wheel and gearbox lever are wiped after 60-100 thousand km.

The cars of 2008-2009 were under a recall campaign due to improper operation of frontal impact sensors.

Sometimes the fuel level indicator begins to “glue”.

After 200-250 thousand km can make noise or refuse the motor heater (4-9 thousand rubles). There are malfunctions and air conditioning systems - the bearing of the compressor clutch fails, or the radiator is handed over (5000 rubles for an analogue).

After 200-250 thousand km repairs may be needed and the generator - wear brushes and bearings.

• The JF011E is not too bad either.
• Although cases of repair and occur after 200-250 thousand km.

Walking

• A steering rack can be knocked or leaked. The new rack costs about 40-50 thousand.
• To eliminate extraneous sounds, it is necessary to replace the lower guide calipers with the upper ones with a rubber seal.
• The parking brake pads can also be slapped in the back. After adjusting them, the knocks go away.

Other problems and malfunctions

• At the same time, corrosion affects the lower bracket of the wing mount.
• The motor of the heater can make noise or refuse to operate (4-9 thousand rubles).

In terms of reliability, the Mitsubishi Lancer turned out to be ambiguous. In general, a good picture lubricates engines prone to oil, especially the volume of 1.5 liters.

• Engines: Common problems of engines include the "sweating" front crankshaft oil when running more than 100-150 thousand km.
• Transmission: Among the common faults are current drive glands, extraneous noises and failure of the first gear synchronizer.
• Driving: a km can be knocked or leaked by a steering rack. The new rack costs about 40-50 thousand.
• Other problems and malfunctions: The body iron of Mitsubishi Lancer is resistant to the harmful effects of an aggressive environment and is not prone to corrosion.

Shows, bargaining and re-registration take time: buyers look, promise to think and disappear. Fair price after inspection closes the auction on the spot. If money is needed urgently, the purchase takes away waiting and repeat displays.
