montero owners watch out for brake accumulator by fastvwg60

Hey everybody be ware of you brake booster accumulator going bad it makes a wierd almost like grinding noise, but don't be fooled that sound is only heard when you depress the brake pedal. It is actually a small nitrogen leak inside the brake accumulator. Do not let crooked mechanics rip you off, it only takes a few minutes to replace the accumulator which is the black metal ball that sits on top of the brake master cylinder. The price on the accumulator at the dealer is only 162.00dlls and most everybody with a little mechanic skills can replace it.

Tonneau Cover by montero_man

I have a Mitsubishi Montero Sport and recently replaced my stereo equipment (head unit, subs box, amps) due to theft & the box for my subs is about 2 inches higher than the level of my tonneau cover when it is extended. I don't want the outline of the box to be seen, so need to raise the level of the tonneau cover height itself. I'm wondering if this kind of thing has already been done by someone in the forum and, if so, they might have some ideas on how to approach such a project.
getting a lower box is not an option because the JL Audio 12W7 needs the cubic inches in the box as it currently is. Any suggentions/advice that anyone has about a custom fabrication job to raise the height of the tonneau cover in the trunk would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I have this problem on my 2003 Montero LS over the years. IT now has 140,000kms and I love the vehicle.
 
The problem appears to be in the heater or AC hose. If I have it bled the sound goes a way for a while. Not I just live with it.
 
BTW I put a put an ARB front bumper with a 9000lb winch on after a little deer incident. Someday i post a link to some photos of my Montero.

I have also noticed this problem with my Montero Sport. I wonder if it is the fuel injectors? Thoughts anyone?

Sailing 216, Wondering how your Montero is doing, any signifigant events? Shelfishly I wondered if you could provide insight to your comment re Rear Ac cooling pipes. We had an event with 03 Ltd associated with failure of a rear heating line (I think beacause it had AF fluid in it) and overheating. Fixed the line (cut and splice), all seems well except the cabin fan will not work. Can you advise how the rear AC cooling line failure can lead to a blown engine? Any thoughts on the cabin fan (please see my post). Thanks

Did you ever solve this problem? I just had the exact same issue following some work done to my car after being rear-ended. I got it back from the repair shop and the ac display & outdoor temp no longer worked. I tried to tell the repair people this and they acted like they had no idea what I was talking about.

Mass Air Flow Sensor by KCWBurleson
Dec 29, 2008 (8:44 am)

2001 3.0 V6 running rough, hesitates at about 2300 RPM, and stalls at about 600 rpm. The OBDII codes that the MAF sensor is faulty. I replaced it with a remanufactured one. No change in performance, so I replaced it two more times; still no change in performance. Unplugged, the engine runs fairly good and does not stall at idle (won't pass inspection though). Plugging in the MAF sensor at idle speed causes the engine to stall. Any ideas? How could I test the wiring harness and the MAF sensor?

if you don't get the answer in this blog, then search the blogs at mitsubishi-forums.com. they tend to have alot of tech info at that site. i caution you to search the blog before posting though. if not, you may be slapped with a lot of sarcasm.

1985 montero transmission question by 1985montero
Jan 04, 2009 (3:10 pm)
Reply
I have a 1985 montero 4 wheel, 2.6. My transmission is shot, slipping out of 2nd and 4th. Bleeding fluid from the main shaft. I need to replace or rebuid it.
Question Can I use the 1985 mits truck transmission for the Montero? It's about 300 bucks, where the montero tranny is expensive. It seems to me that the tranny could be the same.
 
any ideas
