2010 Mitsubishi Strada [continued 2]

[killer_eyes]

Thanks for your insights sir. I'm just worried na may bagong model lalabas next year since may concept na for the 2014 model.

may possibility din siguro kasi matanda na ang design ng current strada. pero ang disadvantage if new models, lalo na if new engine at design, may mga flaws pa yan sa unang labas.

unang labas ng mga crdi engines dito sa atin daming naging problema, mga 2010 na lang ata nawala. so pag new models risk sa flaws. kahit yung ranger ngayon may mga flaws na inaayos pa. wala ka ding makukuhang actual review sa new model. aasa ka lang sa mga magazine/youtube etc. pero di sya yung daily driven. mga test drive lang

Sir, it happened to me too, sa Casa ko na lang pinatanggal..may nireset lang sila sa head unit, nakalimutan ko lang kung papano

pwede po ba ipa-reset sa casa ang PM reminder sa head unit kahit hindi sa kanila nagpa-PM?

Pwedeng pwede Sir. Ginawa ko na mag pa reset sa ibang Casa.
Malapit lang kasi ako sa Casa kaya pati pagpa pa spray ng rust sa ilalim sa may leaf spring pinagagawa ko sa kanila . Nagpaturo na rin ako kung papano, so bumili na ako ng sariling pang spray. Then pag nag ha hung ang USB function sa kanila ko rin pina ri reset dati, ngayon alam ko na rin kung papano.

Hi guys, just want to share this. Thanks by the way to zix8888 for giving me advice on what to look out for when bringing in the car for the event described below.

Three days ago, I had DMC in Valle Verde look into the check engine light (CEL) indicator that lit up in the instrument panel. They only managed to make preliminary assessment and cleared the visual alarm. They did pinpoint the source of the alarm to "fuel exchange filter failed" which I later knew to be trouble code P1276 (TC P1276) using their diagnostic software on a laptop which was connected to the data terminal in the car. They asked me to bring back the car if the CEL lights up again so they can change the fuel filter. Indeed, yesterday the CEL lit up again.

I'm much nearer to Mitsubishi Carworld Malolos so I brought the car to them today, instead. Carworld used the findings of DMC and they did the following procedures:

1. took sample of diesel from the filter. they observed presence of water
2. they pulled down the fuel tank, with all 70+ liters of Petron diesel in it.
3. drained the tank

Here is a photo of my fuel tank being drained of water-contaminated diesel. Frankly I can't tell the difference. but then again, they are the experts.


4. check for rust outside and inside tank (none seen)
5. check fuel "passages" from the fuel fill cap to the sensors for rust and contamination (none seen)
6. bought new 20 liters of diesel from Caltex in a clean container and refilled tank
7. only then did they replace the fuel filter
8. hooked up the laptop and software. Cleared P1276 and run diagnostics again. No troubles found.
9. computer recalibrated the injectors and all the other stuff automatically through software

A snapshot of the the laptop's screen while performing diagnostics.


10. road test.

All in all, I think Carworld Malolos did a good job in solving the problem by addressing the root cause and not simply changing the fuel filter. That said, I hope that's all there was to it and no other trouble will surface for the time being. fuel filter cost (P1,134.00) including labor, misc and vat totaled P2635. Madumi na din actually yung lumang filter. May nakasabay akong Montero, binaba din fuel tank at kasing dumi din yung fuel filter. I didn't ask but I think, nag CEL alarm din yung kotse nya.

I also observed there were a bit of rust on a few spots underside of the car. So my next job for it would be full rustproffing. In the meantime, sa Caltex diesel naman muna ako.

I experienced the same CEL code. Probably 3 times. Tried to clear it couple of times as I didn't have the fuel filter replacement that time because I already knew from the code that it is most likely the fuel filter. I checked fuel filter cartridge from El Dorado, it cost Php 2.2k that time. So I tried to look for a better replacement (hopefully) and end up with Baldwin BF7535 for ~half the price of the OEM. So far no code whatsoever. I didn't bother to pull down my tank. I believed that the built-in fuel-water separator in the filter worked for me. That it didn't throw related code but rather fuel pressure related code which could likely be due to clogged filter. (SCV could affect pressure delivery too but no code related to SCV, hence, tackled the closest possible failure point first.

The gist, scan your CEL and if it is P1276, try fuel filter replacement first... (Enough)Water in the fuel filter will throw a different warning light in the dash.

Just sharing. HTH.

Di ba dapat kung may contaminated ng tubig ang fuel, iilaw ang fuel filter indicator lamp?

Share ko lang...Strada sya pero di Mitsubishi

After 2 weeks reading the strada thread and almost 1 year on deciding on my next car, I finally got a bank repossessed 2012 Strada. My concern is i got one of the recall units and did schedule for the safety inspection checkup. Had anyone have their units parts replaced(front lower arm) already or welded for the 4wd propeller shafts units? how long does it take? I am not used to casa service that is why i just got a 2nd-hand unit.

sir ilan na odo reading nyo?...

bro only 7,200km. kaya ko pinababa ang fuel tank at i-drain yung diesel para sigurado na. walang nakitang ibang trouble code yung computer nila kundi "failed fuel exhange filter". sorry to hear about your navarra's case. hopefully ok yung sa strada mo. P800 ang labor cost sa casa para sa pagbaba ng fuel tank at inspection for rust and water. i think it's worth it for your peace of mind. ang di ko lang na-anticipate na kailangan ko pala ipababa yung tangke, eh nag full-tank pa ako the previous day. buti binili ng isang mekaniko yung drained diesel para sa jeepney nya.

good luck!

I had my Strada (3-months old) fully rust-proofed (SAVI) at Carworld Malolos-P7.8k. I decided to do this since I noticed rust spots already in the underside. Nababasa ko sa ibang threads parang trend na yata sa mga bagong sasakyan ngayon na kahit bago me signs na ng kalawang sa ibaba. My neighbor who has a new Fortuner commented that he already observed rust spots under his car. You can never tell based on the look of the new car alone.

mga sir good morning meron lang po sana ako dalawang tanong,


1. ilang kilos po kaya ang pwede ikarga sa bed space ng strada po natin? yun safe KG and yun max KG?

2. may naka turbo gauge po kaya dito, ang tanong ko lang po kasi sana normal po ba talaga na below onti sa zero yun turbo gauge kapag naka idle? hindi ba dapat nasa zero po?


Thanks
