Replacement: Lower right control arm

[Guest]

we get all the outstanding recalls carried out in the UK should be the same in aus

When I said I was told ... it was from Mitsubishi themselves ... I tryed to get my lower control arms replaced ... they said nope. They were going to charge me $750 just for the parts. I ended up getting them for $450 posted from Japan ...

mitsu australia sucks.. all they want is to make $$$ and that's it. I tried to get my car (olg 7g) stuff done at car at springwood, they were telling me that i have to pay for freight and stuff..

Interesting stuff. That says suspension lower control arm (2003/11/20) and blower fan airflow control unit (2005/04/12).

Is there an easy way to tell if these have already been done in Japan? What are Mitsubishi's legal obligations for factory recalls on grey market imports?

it says it in the description on the far side of the table.

 

[Guest]

Have you just translated the info in the 4 boxes or the whole page. I just copy what is in the box. Google translate seems to work a bit better

Engrish no speaka!

 

[SiliconAngel]

So if it says 'Work Conducted' (作業実施済) that means the recall parts have been replaced already?

Haha I just remembered a quote from the American CEO of GM criticising Microsoft and comparing software to cars, and how pathetic the software industry was releasing half-finished products etc...

But defect recalls happen ALL the time in the auto industry, and they sound suspisciously like software patches to me...

 

[Guest]

Yes "work conducted " means it has alredy been done and "work unadministered" if not.

 

[Guest]

All done by the look of this

Gallun, REGUNAMU, ASUPAIA BUROAFAN the air volume control unit about the recall 4/12/2005 work already conducted
2 Gallun, including three car models REGUNAMU front suspension (ROAAMU) for the recall 2003/11/20 work already conducted
3 Gallun, REGUNAMU, including 4 of motor vehicle (4WD vehicle) fuel tank on the recall 2000/07/26 work already conducted

JFYI, Fred when doing anything that requires your chassis number EXCEPT Australian licensing, just use the EC5W5102902 part. So for looking up parts, talking to Mitsubishi, ordering anything for the car etc.

The 6U9000 bit is added on by Australian authorities to comply with the Australian VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) system.

oh....ok...cheers guys, good to know, already another problem, changed my oil today, put Castrol Edge 5w30 in it, and a Z411 RYCO filter on it, and the tappets are ticking staight away...???

 

[SiliconAngel]

Check your level - if its not right up to the top line, fill it 'til it is. After you've done a full oil and filter change its common for the level to drop a little once its been run. If you haven't topped the oil right up it won't able to build up enough pressure in the hydraulic lifters so they will be noisey.

 

[Fred]

nope, the oil is a bee's dick over full, still ticking, as soon as i changed the oil and filter....??? is the Z411 filter too small or somthing??? I hate noisy lifters, i had a Mazda V6...lol

 

[RaZZa137]

is the ticking engine just a mitsubishi thing caz ive noticed it on a LOT of magnas

 

[bradc]

it's just part of owning a Mitsi

A good quality filter and good oil will stop it most of the time.

 

[RaZZa137]

either that or it's a sign the engine is blowing up.....lol
