New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[jarx]

thanks sa replies!

baka nga nasisira yung SCV dahil sa fuel.... yung Carens ko kasi nag ilaw recently yung fuel filter warning light, pina drain ko na and hindi naman umilaw ulit. pero other than the warning light, wala namang ibang issue

both the Strada and Carens use Caltex diesel at Sucat rd. Full tank palagi until the auto shut off. Yung Carens fill up pag half empty na, yung Strada naman fill up pag almost empty na para umabot ng 2,000 yung bill at makakuha ng libreng kape

chief, nararanasan ko din yan wong wong wong na yan from time to time. pero hindi sya madalas e. most likely bad fuel ang cause nyan sir. kasi ako everytime magpakarga ako ng diesel, full tank palagi, saka hindi lang sa iisang gas station (usual ko nararanasan to sa Shell sa may Maine Ave. approaching cubao underpass, pero ngayon naranasan ko din sa Shell Oliveros). minsan kapares ng wong wong wong na yan e yung intermittent spurts ng power. pero pag nakaandar na ko ng mga around 15mins or so, or basta mainit na yung makina (pag nasa gitna na yung temp gauge), ok na sya ulit

other strada owners experience this?

Yung sa akin, parang sinisinok yung makina habang nag-aaccelerate, pero walang unusual sound.

What you're experiencing may be an early symptom of a malfunctioning SCV. Better to have it checked sa casa.

Buti na lang hindi bawal ang wong-wong, hehehe.

Naalala ko lang si bigblock nagpalit ng scv under warranty pa yun strada nya, sabi ng mitsu di raw sagot ng warranty dahil ang dahilan nila (ng mitsu) ay dirty diesel. bakit ganun di ba me fuel filter naman na nakabit ang strada naten? anu ang gamit noon? anu dummy lang ba yung filter na kinabit ng mitsu sa strada naten? ..........ano kaya ang ipaliwanag nila dito?......
(note, during pms kapag sinabi ng service booklet na need to replace ng fuel filter, papalitan nila bayad naman tyo...hahahahahha kaka praning isipin...whahahaha)

mabait na ata ang kar asia davao, free of charge yung pagpalit ko ng SCV.

me advice na rin sila na pwede nang magdala ng sariling oil, himalang pumayag sila..

mga sirs, na observe ko lang, bat ang dami complains sa beloved strada natin as early as 5000 kms pa?

common mga noises. brake noise, clutch noise at leaf spring noise.
andyan din ang problem with scv, kulang sa hatak at power.
may mga konting noise din sa interior.

anything wrong with our strada in the first place?
or sa design? or dahil ba sa road conditions natin and diesel fuel?
is there a thread where we could discuss the common problems?

[ooba99]

doc, Hindi ba nalubog nung ondoy yung station na yun? Baka nacontaminate yung tanks Nila because of that....

As far as I know that place is elevated. Mataas yung lugar. Kapag yung place (Q. Ave. corner Apo St.) na yan ang binaha for sure buong Manila nasa ilalim na ng tubig.

At dahil sa pagka-praning ko na baka dirty diesel nga ang dahilan, nagpalit na ako ng diesel brand and station. New Generation Petron Diesel na gamit ko ngayon. I had my last fill sa isang bagong Petron Station along Q. Ave. Sana for life na yung bagong SCV. I hope....

i think that are normal noises because friction of the moving parts do generate noise, maybe we can minimize it through lubrication, tightening or change of parts that generate unusual noise. even airplane generate noise inside the cabin. he he he....... yup, i also agree that other strada generate more noise than others strada. especially comparing the sound of the engine noise. see you on next eb sir.

oi sir ken! musta? see you sa next EB nga.

i agree with you sir dahil sa friction nga. normal lang may noises even the sophisticated machines. pero if you compare the noises to other car makes, brand or model, the noises came too frequent and too soon.
IMO. kasi na compare ko lang din sa ibang cars ng family namin and friends.

still, noises and problems aside, i love our strada. that's why i want it in tip-top condition and top mods. hehe......

ok lang.... maybe you are referring to our dashboard because some plastic parts generate noise. he he he.... kay jash naman, mas tahimik yong dashboard niya compare sa akin or maybe na bagohan lang ako. ha ha ha... check lang natin kay nismo if meron tayo eb next week para kita kits tayo mga mindanao chapter. i believe darating na yata si tc.

Sir bertobol, there is no perfect vehicle and there is no perfect truck. The only consolation that we should be thankful with our truck is that, all known problems with the strada is remediable. All common problems that cropped out since day 1 that the new strada rolled out on our shore has a solution and had been addressed.

Most problems of the strada was already discussed in this thread, and old-timers in this thread are probably already tired of hearing the same problems coming out again and again kaya hindi na nagre-reply.

Remember too that our vehicle is a truck and not a sedan.

I also had my SCV replaced this year under warranty. The price in the invoice was 4k something. They also replaced my airflow sensor which is around 3k something in the invoice.

They changed these because after having my 30k PMS, my strada began stalling. Maybe because of the adjustments they did, these components failed?

I did not experience any loss of power prior to my 30k PMS. My strada was working perfectly fine... dunno really what they did.

Hi gurus! I want to put leds as replacement for my stock park lights but what I have are lights within the same heaadlight housing as my halogen. I have fears that the heat generated by the halogens can actually melt part of the led lights. did some googling and this is what I found:

http://clubsciontc.com/forums/exteri...ht-bulbs-7096/

Any comments? Any advice would be appreciated. By the way, I have a strada so the park light bulb and main headlight buld are inside the same housing.

hehe, paano ba mag explain.

usually di naman life threatening yung mga probs nang strada.. pag me problem sa strada ko, repair agad bahala na kung mapapamura sa mahal ng service kesa magsisi ako...

ok lang.... maybe you are referring to our dashboard because some plastic parts generate noise. he he he.... kay jash naman, mas tahimik yong dashboard niya compare sa akin or maybe na bagohan lang ako. ha ha ha... check lang natin kay nismo if meron tayo eb next week para kita kits tayo mga mindanao chapter. i believe darating na yata si tc.

haha, me langitngit pag inuuga..

yung dashboard ng kotse ko ilang araw pa lang me vibrations na... hihintayin ko na lang maglaglag.. hehe joke lang..

hahaha, oo nga, di na kasi issue ito..

medyo OT lang...

pumunta yung kapatid ko sa casa last week, wala na raw killer truck na binebenta and wala ring display sa casa.

Guys question po.

Normal ba na FC for GLS Sport A/T 6-7km/l city, 10-11km/l hway? Basis ko po dun sa trip computer.

Coz i got a friend that has a Montero GLS SE, sa kanya around 10km/l city
driving daw. Same engine, tranny, i think heavier pa Monty nya. So how come mas maganda FC nya. Does not compute talaga. :question:

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, do you think mitsubishi will bring here next year the 2.5 liter top of the line mitsubishi triton like that in australia with straight and longer bed. it has more power than the 3.2 we have and have a 5 speed automatic transmission with +- manual overrride?

parang gusto ko na talagang makita ang strada ni jashty ah. pati ang mansion. hehehe....
the interior noises sound like loose screws or something. very irritating.
they occur usually at night or cold weather. nocturnal ata or cold blooded.. hehe...

good point doc.. maybe its just me lang din.. my previous pick-up kasi didn't generate this much noises and problems. big negative lang nga don is gas addict. hehe...
sad lang kasi mga problems i encountered di pa naayos talaga ng casa. pa balik-balik kasi eh...
anyway, appreciate your opinions mga sirs...

yes, in the UK the new L200 is called BARBARIAN,still 2.5 but with 175bhp(SICK!!!), long bed. i don't think makakarating to sa Pinas, I'M SURE mag PROPROTEST ANG IBANG BRANDS HAHAHA!

This is also similar to my fuel consumption. The Montero Sport will have about the same fuel consumption. Maybe your friend was looking at the computer display while he was cruising at highway. Best way to measure is to fill up fuel tank reset odometer, drive until half tank or 1/4 tank then refill on the same fuel pump of the same station, get odometer reading and divide by number of liters filled.

There might be an issue with fuel quality in this country, that engine probably requires at least Euro 4 compliant diesel.
