Reviving this thread, i have this on my 3 week old montero and noticed it from day 1. Not sure if this is normal, the previous version didnt have it, any feedback from you guys that have addressed it to casa?

Hello Everyone!

I am also experiencing the same problem with my Monty 2009 GLS SE 4x4 i.e. buzzing or humming low pitch, air whirlwind sound at low rpm (1500 to 1800) usually at second gear.. My good friend, a veteran buy and sell, told me it's common in Monty specially 4x4 variant, and nothing to worry about. He also told me that the sound is being caused by the nozzle of air intake pipe touching or vibrating against the plastic shroud around the radiator fan.. You can see that this design of intake pipe is really playing and not fixed.. Anyway at first I was adamant. But the noise is really annoying so again, I'm back at searching again the net for answers, until I found this thread.. Then I chance to found a mitsubishi forum with the same problem, although Outlander with diesel engine and realized that what my friend was telling me might be true afterall! Check the link and see for your self.. Also check the german post inside the thread (use translation feature of google chrome) and you can see how to do it as it has provided some useful pics.

I've been complaining about this vibration at 1,250 rpm to Diamond Motors Greenhills and Quezon Avenue. It all started after the 1,000km PMS in Quezon Avenue and then I started complaining about it on the 5,000km PMS and but they said it was normal and it was the AC kicking in. I then shifted service center to Greenhills since it's close to work and they said the same thing that it's normal. I just had my 15,000km PMS with them and it's still normal to them. They even had a "performance test" done and it was nothing out of the ordinary.

Well to see if it's "normal" I just test-drove my officemates Montero Sports. We bought at practically the same time so that should provide the same results, right? Well her Montero didn't have any vibration at low rpm. It just drove quietly.

Are there any updates from other service centers on the problem?
