Question about Mitsubishi's warranty

**Rhaixxa** · July 25th, 2018 05:02 PM

Nakalagay po kasi sa warranty handbook ko na dapat ipa check sa casa and change oil ang kotse either every 3-4 months, or pag naka +5km ka na. Gusto ko sana mag avail ng warranty ng Mitsubishi, but im not too sure if pwede pa. Religious naman ako nagpa check and change oil sa 1km and 5km. Sabi nung mitsubishi guy, they base on the mileage more than on the time. My car is now at 9km, so short pa sa +5km, pero lumampas na ako sa 3-4 months. I wonder if pwede pa ang warranty. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thank you

Basta sa casa ka nagpapa pms, pwede mo pawarranty.

Btw, anong part ang papawarranty mo?

Ung engine po sana, if there's something deeply wrong with it. Ako po ung nag post sa ni-replyan nyo about the tapping sound sa engine pag inandar ang AC or paminsan pag mag apak ng accelerator. Hindi ko pa natingnan ung RPM kasi di ko muna dinala ang kotse sa office

without hearing that sound, we're just all speculating here.
and speculation sometimes costs a lot of money.
what you need, is a learned ear to hear it.
possibilities include anything from normally expanding metal, to a loose nut and bolt, to coins in the glovebox, to somethings even more serious and expensive.
good luck.

por ejemplo,
in my non-mitsu, a tapping sound was traced to loose air cleaner housing cover. "we forgot to put the clamps back on."

Agree.

Yung Mirage nga eh offer pa nila is 5 years warranty & free labor charge during that period. Technically, they do that to keep you coming back to them for the next 5 years, free nga labor pero tatagain ka sa parts & fluids. Pero bring things back to them for warranty claim... "naku sir, hindi covered yan."

However helpful everybody wants to be, mahirap ata magbigay ng opinon based on a description lang in a forum. Engine knock from premature ignition, valve lifters needing adjustment, or a a tool left wedged in some corner of the engine compartment (it can happen, believe me!)

If the sound is caused by any of those, magkano po kaya ang estimate ng cost for repairs pag sa casa vs sa talyer?

Again i apologize if i seem to be asking the obvious. Im not auto savvy :/

Its ok, kaya nga tayo nagtatanong because we don't know.

Problem nga lang, walang makaka-diagnose niyan here. Everybody will just be throwing wild guesses unless we can see/hear personally.

Best bring it to a mechanic you trust and have them look/listen & tinker with it and see what he/she has to say. Pa estimate ka muna then pa second opinon ka here sa forum sa findings niya.

A tapping sound caused by low oil levels? Who told you that?!?!? More likely you'll see the oil warning light on your display before your oil gets low enough to cause that much of a problem.

When i had it checked sa neighborhood mechanic kahapon, he checked the engine (pero di sya nag kuti2 ng mabuti kasi under warranty pa), and ang sabi nya baka ung timing chain raw ang problema. :/
