#2379 of 2438 Re: Timing belt [the_guy] by fushigi Oct 10, 2008 (1:27 pm)
Replying to: the_guy (Oct 10, 2008 4:04 am) I don't think there's any real way to tell if it has been changed or not. Either way, it will be due at 120K so replace it then or earlier if you are worried about it.   Also, water pumps (in general, not Mitsu specifically) frequently only last around 140K miles or so. The labor to replace it is roughly the same as that to do the timing belt. You might consider replacing the water pump & timing belt together as there's no real extra labor (labor cost) involved.   As to the cost, it will vary. Call you local dealer but also call other reputable shops. Timing belts aren't anything super-special that requires dealer server. Meineke and others can replace them. It will be a few hundred dollars, though, as it takes a few hours.

Replying to: hoodlatch (Feb 05, 2008 7:48 pm) I just made this repair to my mitsu. It was pretty simple if you have the patience and mechanical ability. I posted the steps to repair it with pictures here: http://fixmymitsu.wordpress.com. Definitely disconnect the battery when working around the airbag.

Replying to: near_2water (Oct 06, 2008 3:34 pm) I also have an 2003 Galant with the same problem. Reading back it seems that it could be the valve and I am wondering how I can fix this myself if someone knows how as I can't afford a mechanic right now. I also had the rattling noises at times but it no longer does that. I am tired of freezing and it's going to get very cold this winter.   Thanks for any ideas and help!

#2386 of 2438 How to make the audio system work by zhongzhou Dec 09, 2008 (8:57 pm)
Hi, I am a brand-new-car-user. I got a used car (1999 GTZ) but the audio system doesnot work. The dealer says I need to replace the battery. I want to know whether it is connected to the audio system? Thanks. Sorry for bothering you with a stupid question.   Best, Zach Replies to this message: fushigi (Dec 10, 2008 5:11 am) rika08 (Dec 22, 2008 8:44 am) DeuceHarris (Jan 07, 2009 1:01 pm) zhongzhou (Jan 07, 2009 1:14 pm)

Replying to: zhongzhou (Dec 09, 2008 8:57 pm) I have a '99 LS and I think they both used the same Infinity audio system (7 speakers, 210W). If so, it's an anti-theft system so if power is removed (disconnected battery, stolen, etc.) the radio locks up & can only be unlocked by entering a 4 digit code. The code is user-set, not factory, so you should ask the prior owner for it. Or change it to something of your own choosing if you can successfully power up the unit.   Frankly, while I like the stereo, it's not current on features (no MP3 capability, etc.) so I'd suggest that if the dealer is going to charge a lot to repair the unit you may want to consider just replacing it with an aftermarket stereo. They aren't very expensive nowadays.

Replying to: zhongzhou (Dec 09, 2008 8:57 pm) If this is the factory installed radio, you can call Mitsubishi and they will give you the code and tell you how to program it in. All you need is your VIN number when you call. Replies to this message: DeuceHarris (Jan 07, 2009 1:01 pm) zhongzhou (Jan 07, 2009 1:14 pm)
