#1289 of 1467 navigator89: Magna by cracovian May 05, 2005 (6:59 am)
Diamantes are no longer sold in the States. Mitsubishi purposely cheapened the car for this market, so it couldn't even be compared to the real Magna. We got the 4-speed transmission, no side airbags, no wagon or 4WD option. I was sooo close to getting the last 2004 VR-X but decided on another fine Australian automobile instead: Pontiac GTO (Monaro)

Replying to: pwc (Mar 29, 2005 5:20 pm) I am having the same problem with my Diamante 2000. The clicking last for about 30 seconds then stops. Happens every time I start the car. It will go away if I turn up the heat. So far, everything is heating/cooling properly. If I leave the temperature at 65 (the lowest setting) then the clicking goes away and does not return until I start the car again. From what I have found out so far, it is the mechanism which mixes the hot/cold air to get to the right temperature. There is a lever under the dash directly behind the center console which moves back and forth as the temp is adjusted. I think whatever sensor or gadget tells the lever it has moved far enough is not working. Replies to this message: pwc (May 10, 2005 4:58 pm)

I'm parking the car outside the garage at nite and in the morning the temp is in the 50 degrees and when i start the car, all is well. After that, the noise is back. Thanks for your comments.
#1293 of 1467 Infinity sound system by bosoxn04 May 21, 2005 (2:29 pm)
I own a 2000 Diamante LS and blew the front 2 speakers in the door. I went to buy new ones and they told me that because of the infinity sound system in the car I would have to replace everything (the deck and all the speakers) and that "it wouldn't sound right" if i just replaced the 2 front speakers with after market speakers. are they screwing with me?

Replying to: bosoxn04 (May 21, 2005 2:29 pm) I changed the stock speakers on my '99 Diamante with MB quartz back in 2000.   I just can't remember what size they were, either 6.5"'s or 6.25"'s? Take your current speakers and see if it states 4 Ohm or 8 Ohm, just buy something similar to it you will be fine. Replace with a component speaker set ie. Separate tweeter and woofer. You might have to use the tweeters somewhere else unless you are unhappy with the stock tweeters ( ...I wasn't) and replace them as well.   Do not buy the common two-way or three-way speaker sets, there is a high pass filter on the line and it won't sound right.   Also you may also want to transfer the a foam gasket that is glued to the front of the speaker cone ( If there is one ...I can't remember). This completes the seal between speaker and the interior door molding. If you don't complete the seal, you will probably have less bass.   You will just need to cut the stock speaker connectors on the speaker end and determine which is the negative and positive wire. You can usually tell by reading where the current wire in connected to on the old speaker. It should be marked by a (+) or (-) on the speaker housing.   Good Luck...

You could replace the speakers with exact replacements from Mitsubishi. They will cost about $60 each. See http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getLocator&siteid=213934&chapter=A- RP6295&appSectionid=2610&groupid=2644&subgroupid=2646&componentid=26819&make=24&model=Diam- ante&year=2000&graphicID=6295275&callout=9&catalogid=2 or comparison price them at more of the dealers offering parts online at wholesale at http://www.parts.com/index.cfm?action=subCategories&categoryID=1&subCategoryID=24   With exact replacements you are guaranteed to have the original sound.   If by "blew" you meant that the foam deteriorated and the speakers still work, but they sound raspy, you can replace the foam yourself for less than $20 and about an hours work per speaker.

#1297 of 1467 60,000 mi service on Mitsubishi Diamonte 1997LS by horse1 May 26, 2005 (9:32 am)
I'm getting mixed advice on just how many parts, such as, water pump,fuel filter,etc. ,to just routinely replace, as part of 60,000mi service. Estimates range between $1,000 & $2,500. I don't want to sacrifice safety/peace of mind for $, but I also don't want to be talked into doing more than is reasonably needed. I like the car, but am aware of it's value($7,000-$8,000) Also, I'm aware that the final decision is mine, but would appreciate a bit of help in the decision making process.....thanks in advance to anyone who responds. Cheers!
#1298 of 1467 60,000 Service by vivona May 26, 2005 (1:20 pm)
Check your owner's manual and only do what is recommended for 60,000 miles. Also note what is recommended based on how may years it is been since the last service, such as a coolant change every two years.   For 60,000 miles, spark plugs and timing belt are "must do's". While the timing belt is being replaced, it is good practice to replace the drive belts, the water pump and the timing belt tensioner. If you are good mechanically and have the time, you can save hundreds of dollars by doing the work yourself. You will need the factory service manual which has step-by-step instructions. You can save on parts by visiting the online dealers that offer wholesale pricing on genuine Mitsubishi parts (see my previous posting) . I recommend against using aftermarket parts. You will never be sure if the part is up to the original specs. You can buy the factory parts wholesale and still find a dealer that will install them for you and save about 25% on the parts cost.   Mr. Vivona Replies to this message: horse1 (May 26, 2005 2:03 pm)
