#180 of 232 Re: 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport needing a Timing Belt Replaced... [poetry by ruddneck Jan 25, 2009 (4:04 pm)
Replying to: poetryoflife (Jan 25, 2009 3:05 pm) I definitely empathize with you. But if your timing belt goes out, it could lead to a bigger and more expensive plight, so you're (unfortunately) right to worry about it.   You say your friends diagnosed the problem; are they mechanics, and if friends, could they let you pay for it in installments? Alternatively, I saw a TV news segment the other day that was discussing the resurgence of bartering as a consequence of the economic climate. Perhaps there's a network like that near you that you could join to get the repair done. Just an idea. Best of luck.

Replying to: poetryoflife (Jan 25, 2009 3:05 pm) If it is a 4 or 6 cylinder they both are interferance engines in wich the possibility of valve to piston damage will usually occur if there is a timing belt failure. The interval to change the belt is every 60,000 miles according to my Alldata book. Your either way over due or forgot that it was changed 13,400 miles ago. Timing belts usually don't last that long past their interval. On the 4 cylinder the labor rate is 3.7 hours and on the 6 cylinder it is 5.3 hours. The 4 cylinder has another belt inside the timing cover, that drives a ballance shaft that should also be changed. I have scene different intervals for the same vehicle in the past from different sources. Check your owners manual for the proper interval, you might get lucky and it might be 90k.

Replying to: penguin87 (Feb 15, 2009 12:22 pm) I tend to believe that you have a problem with your "idle control valve". Ask the mechanic to test this part. Also, you may want to consider adding some additives on the gas tank, possible your fuel filter may be due for a change. Good luck Replies to this message: penguin87 (Feb 15, 2009 7:03 pm) mikevegas06 (Feb 16, 2009 10:01 am)

Replying to: penguin87 (Feb 15, 2009 7:03 pm) Also consider having your alternator checked.

Replying to: dmutt (Sep 10, 2007 11:40 am) Is a cam leak a consistent problem with this vehicle? I'm considering buying an '01 XLS 4WD and any "preventative" advice would be most appreciated!   Thanks,   Lee
#187 of 232 Oil Leak Help/Replace Engine? by trelanni Mar 23, 2009 (5:43 am)
The oil leak all out from my Montero. Along with the oil leak came a knocking noise. Took it to a mechanic who informed me that I need a new engine. He mentioned nothing about the oil leak. Then he told me that I might not need to change the whole engine, just to change the engine block. He still didn't mention anything about the oil leak. He also mentioned that it seemed like something broke inside the engine, because the dip stick is loose. Replies to this message: ruddneck (Mar 23, 2009 9:33 am)

Replying to: trelanni (Mar 23, 2009 5:43 am) If you ran the vehicle without oil in it, you probably burned up the engine and will need a new one.
#189 of 232 irratic speedometer by mikesLTD2001 Mar 29, 2009 (10:24 am)
HI,   I have a 2001 Mitsubishi Montero LTD with about 106,000 miles. Recently I experienced my temperature guage reading high when the car was not overheating. Sometime after that started, my speedometer started to stick. It starts at 0 and as you speed up it jumps up in increments of about 10 MPH. As you slow down it stays at the same reading until it suddenly drops back down. At highway speeds of 65 or so it only reads 50-55. I changed out the small controller board on the back of the instrument cluster and that solved the problem with the temperature guage but the speedomete still acts the same. Any thoughts?   Thanks Mike
