^ sa mobilio thread meron na din nag post ng fuel pump problems. 3 beses na daw tumirik.
i think june-july released units daw ang affected
btw, ano naging solution ng mitsubishi doon sa rumored fuel pump problems ng xpander?
Palit fuel pump rin. Pero ayos yun pinalit.

i wonder,
are there equivalent replacement fuel pumps that the irate car owner can use, in lieu of the supposedly defective units that the casa provides?
i mean, are these fuel pumps exclusively for the brv or mobilio models only...?
fromTo all the Xpander owners that sent me messages about the fuel pump, here’s Mitsubishi Philippines official reply
“We deeply regret the inconvenience caused to our customers by the recent technical issue being encountered in our Xpander model. We have started receiving service complaints regarding the fuel pump issue sometime in April. We are currently looking into the cause of this issue and have expedited the arrival of affected part this month for distribution.
For concerns regarding this issue, please visit any of our authorized dealer nationwide.”

eh si deakin din pala me alam ng fuel problems ng xpander tapos whistle blower ng BRV
2018 rs mobilio sir. Hanggat maari iwasan mo na yung June / July na release, galing na mismo sa mechanic nila na may bulletin na may factory defect yung batch na yun ng BRV at mobilio.
Update, we will go back to our dealer, tumawag yung branch manager samin isolated incident lang daw tapos kumambyo na sila ng statement na hindi daw factory defect mali daw assessment nung mechanic nila. At kaya daw i fix agad yung sasakyan. Nag escalate kasi kami sa banko na ganun ang nangyari kung hindi pa kami nagpunta banko hindi kami iintindihin ni dealer at hindi kami kokontakin nung branch manager. FYI Honda Batangas Cityyung dealer namin. tsk!
Ayun, kaya ko natanong kasi ang acknowledged lang talaga na batch ay yung late 2018/early 2019 mga hanggang April. Mostly ang nagrereport ng issues ay 2018/2019 models. Wala pa akong nakikita na 2020 model (yung released this June/July) na nagreport na may fuel pump issue. For now based dun sa statement ng dealer/manager nyo, safe parin ang 2020 model units.
Honda must have changed suppliers on their fuel pumps for the mobilio and brv. The gamble they usually take to lower the cost and raise a bit of profit margin.
sa tingen ko yan mga nasisiraan ng fuel pump ng Xpander or BRV, mga light foot, yun mga gusto maka-achieve ng high Fc sa 7 seater gasoline car, or always low rpm driving, and so the fuel pump goes kaput kasi ang tipid ng apak sa gas, so the pump itself is not functioning optimally, and breaks down. Pump needs to pump, it it's pumping less from the tank to the injectors, di naman totally mamonitor ng computer Yan coz the pump is still analog / mechanical, it's not digital .
so for those owners na may brv / xpander, floor your cars from time to time, parang Italian tune up. not because you want to avoid carbon build up, but for the mechanicals of your car to run optimally.
kaya siguro hinde lahat ng BRV / Xpander nasisira, coz if it's a defective product re: the fuel pump, eh di dapat lahat ng BRV or Xpander nakapila nasa CASA ngaun

that's why I ditched all my gasoline cars na eh coz of the worsening metro traffic, now average of 15kph na lang takbo natin, this is a gasoline engine killer. at least , with diesel it's is designed to run slower or even kasi madami idle times.
gasoline cars love largabyahe driving, like iin California or Australia, yun ang natural environment nila that's why gasoline engines last longer dun sa mga bansa na yun
