No, its not...

yep I think its possible, maybe you need at least 150 to 200k or even a lot more to get it done and your not even sure if its gonna work properly...

to cite an example, Way back I remember , our co member from bangkok (sir dadz) was able to source out a VGT system from a volvo, unfortunately it didn't go well as expected...

but now maybe a VGT system from a pajero BK would probably work with the current 4m41 installed in the strada and monty....the only problem that i'm seeing is the cost and the place where you can source out the Pajero VGT system...

either way if you find the VGT system expensive, you can always settle for the other upgrades which does not require too much cost as the VGT, like the piggyback ECU system or alcohol injection...

Thanks for the info.

Anyone notice the 2.5 VGT has a higher power/torque than the present 3.2 DID. It would make sense to phase out the 3.2 GLS SE since the engine is used in the upper Pajero model.

[SIZE=3]I placed my doubt in the display of my MS 2.5 GLS, when I left home the other day, the display is that the Diesel I have presently can cover 190 km run, so I left kalookan-airport-kalookan, when I returned home it is still 190 km which mean not right.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]So any idea if there is way to calibrate & makes it reliable equipment & not just pang porma lang. Also I tried the elevation reading, riding over the bridge(over pass) along edsa, wala rin pinagbago-elevation is 0.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]At present this are the issue of my MS almost 3month old.[/SIZE]

Sir RTS, try to reset the reset button,and yung sa altimeter parang 50 or 100 meter and increment ng height.kaya kung less than 50 yung increase no changes sa altimeter. sa tagaytay 300+ meter yung nakikita ko sa altimeter ko..
Please correct me to this if i'm wrong..

same issue i encountered with mine when i got it last week. I clayed the entire car and now its as smooth as glass, followed with 2 coats of meguiars nxt 2.0 and to finish it with a brilliant shine a top coat of gold class. It made it really shiny.almost forgot i also used a deep crystal polish before applying the first coat of wax to make the shine deeper. All products i use are meguiars.

Try it! it gives you a brilliant shine and a muscular arms and shoulder as well.

ask ko lang the proper cleaning/waxing procedure. wash, wax, & polish, is i'm right???

Just want to share my problem with my 2010 4x2 Monterosport GLS

My car is less than 4 months old with 10,000kms on the odo.

Before you read, my main problem with my Monty is the steering wheel making 'eeee' or hizzing sound.

Brought it to casa 4 times as of the moment and still no solution to fix the problem.

1st time - lubrication and come back again when we can hear the sound.

2nd - replace rack and pinion under warranty (cost is about 56,000) finally, the sound came out and they did something about it!

3rd - Steering column assembly under warranty (cost is about 8,000) Im fu*#$%g speechless, it's still making noise and this time louder!

4th - still in casa....Im getting Mitsubishi Motors Corp's attention!


Gentlemen, here's another bad news, Casa replaced my steering column assembly this time under warranty (cost if no warranty is about 8,000plus) after 2 hours of release, the sound came out and this time its louder.....

Don't listen to your SA telling you it will be gone after a while, it's not true.. The noise on my car first came out at 1,500KMs now its on 10,000kms and after several replacement of parts and lubrication, the noise is still there plus much worse....

This time, I got fed up of going back to Casa and complaining the same problem, this time I called Mitsubishi Motor Corp head office in Ortigas Extension and demanded to talk to someone regarding my unresolvable case on my lemon montero. Finally I was able to talk to Mr.Don Manzano tel no. 658-0719 who was in charge of Technical & Warranty customer service.... If you plan to call him to seek advise, tell them you got the number from another member who has the same problem...If they can't help you, talk to his boss Mr. Dave Doctor.
On the contrary, he told me that they usually do not talk directly to consumers, they will tell you that their authorize service center will be the one coordinating with them....In my case, its different, same problem has not been resolve.


I asked if I could bring my car to their factory instead of Casa, he appologize and he told me he will handle my case and coordinate with the (unreliable) service center of Union Motor, and If they will need assistance, they will send their own technician to look at my car.....I told him that what worries me the most is when my Waranty is gone which is 3 years or 100,000kms whichever comes first...What if the warranty is gone and the problem is still unsolved? He told me they keep records of each cars for years and he promise me that he will approve authorization of warranty work to be done on my vehicle regarding the same problem if it still occurs....I want this in writing so I will write them a formal complain letter attach with all the warranty work that has been done on my monty...........need to protect your investment guys! (my liability)


I have talked to John trinidad, Vice president of service center in Union Motor 562 7208 and complained several times on the same problem that they can not fix...All he will tell you, I will have my lead technician to look after your concern...I told him, the same problem occurs and I question your techinicans / lead techinician competence, may be we need the factory to send somebody with experience or send the car to them....He has nothing else to say to me cuz may be I complain too much to them and almost everyone in service department knows me cuz I will not stop until they fix my problem.....We keep our cars for at least 10 years and I will not allow problems as early as 4 months old....
If you plan to call him for advise, tell him you got the number from another member with the same problem.

Another concern, I was waxing my car 1 week ago and notice a defect on the paint job of my Monty, parang excess paint siya na tumigas, small parang isang dot...Union Motors will fix this problem also, either by sanding or repainting my front right fender...

BTW, I got my 10,000kms PMS last Friday, and guess what, their technicians forgot to re-clip the plastic coverings under the fender behind the springs when they did some lubrication and bolt tightening or performing warranty work. Good thing I noticed this cuz I check my tire pressure regularly....

Getting your rack and pinion and steering column assembly replaced each time this 'eeeeeeee' or hizzing sound comes out is not a solution to your problem. What if your warranty is over and they will not honor your request? On top of this, what if there is really something wrong with the steering design and it breaks down on you while driving alone or with your family, will you compromise your life and theirs? In Japan, there have been cases with the older mitsubishi cars that claimed several lives - google it....We're in the Philippines, manufature re-calls is unheard of even if they know something is wrong.

Other problem:
wheel cylinder is broken at 10,000kms....brake fluid leaking....solution is repair kit, they should've replaced it!...

I think I need to get a life insurance more than a car insurance with acts of God! Hopefully, in 2011, they should offer a free life insurance when you buy a Mitsubishi!

I will keep you guys and girls posted here until I find a proper solution to this problem....

cheers!

why not try different casa... i recommend carworld mitsu in san fernando, pampanga...

Sirs, nakalimutan niyo that the 4M41 engine is now on its 3rd generation. Even though may VGT na siya dati pa (Euro and Australian models), yung 3rd gen na 3.2 4M41 now has 197 hp and 441 Nm of torque! I saw it sa Mitsubishi Australia website. So for me, hindi i-phephase out ang 3.2 4M41. Instead, MMPC will introduce the 3.2 4M41 with VGT for the Montero Sport, Pajero, and Strada; and they will also introduce the 2.5 4D56 with VGT for the Montero Sport and Strada.
