Hello!!! This is an update for the "SMOKE GETTING INSIDE THE CABIN."
RESOLVED!!
Mine is monty 3.2 GLS SE. The Auto fan and auto air direction is the culprit!! When both are in auto, the fan is in very high gear when you start your car or when the sensors on the dashboard or the cabin senses the need to have a fast blower. When they are in high air blower, the air vent, where the air is coming from outside and entering thru the hood, will slightly open (maybe designed that way or the flip flop is not strong enough to cover the vent when pushed by strong air pressure) and, from ther, the outside air enters the cabin. If the blower keeps on blowing strong air, you can smell the air from the outside. This will also happen even if the auto fan is off but the fan is turnED to blow hard and fast. In all instances, the air vent is set at closed (yelow light is lit) to indicate that the flip flop should be tightly closed. But for whaterevr reason, it will slightly open.
SOLUTION!!! Permanently close the air vent where air comes from outside. The flipflop still operates to open and close but it becomes uiseless. THEY DID IT TO MY MONTY! Now, no more smoke inside the cabin!!!
ISSUE: what is the side effect? dont know yet except that if you want fresh air from outside (like when you are traveling in a highway full of trees and lakes), you need to open the window and blow all what is inside the cabin. Not to mention the loud sound caused by the air coming in and all the passengers will be disturbed. But better than a smoke in the acbin. My guess is the air filter that filters the circulating air inside the cabin might not be strong enough for the strong blower which is being compensated by the flip flop to slightlly open and suck air from outside.
SO there the mitsubishi thing.
BUT I LOVE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CAR AND THE C5 CASA PEOPLE. I SALUTE THEM!!!

Mga Monty brothers can please anyone explain regarding HID replacement bulb for our Monty I'm a little bit confused. if we use HID lamps we need to used the coversion kit? what type of buld installed in our monty for headlights ang foglights.

Sir Bench, walang biro and almost all K&N users can attest to the increase in "pull" and yes i also noticed yung pagtipid because conservative way lang style ko. the catch is if you needed more "whisper" definitely you're gonna get it.

is it true that there is no need to undercoat a new Montero since the CASA has also done it prior to giving it to the new owner?

guys sa mga montero owners tanong ko lang kung ano
size ng bulb sa fog lamps nya? H3 ba?
at sa Headlight- H4 ba?
dahil im planing to buy the montero 4X2 and may existing HID kasi ako na H3 fog lamp at H4 hi-low sa headlight... i transfer ko lang sana sa montero before i-dispose yong previous ride ko...

also ano ba specs ng holes nya sa rims?
dahil may existing 20" rims and 45 series tires rin ako na gusto ko pang gamitin dahil 3 months ko pa lang nabili... sayang kasi.

Thank you in advance!

For 2009 model: high beam is HB3, low beam is H11 and fog lamp is H11. I am not sure if 2010 has the same specification.
