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

Replying to: mikesLTD2001 (Dec 10, 2008 8:29 am) I finally got this temp guage problem resolved. I purchased a new instrument cluster control board MR532787 which is mounted on the back of the instrument cluster. Now the temp guage reads fine.   Mike Replies to this message: mikevegas06 (Mar 30, 2009 4:12 am) rosswl (Apr 03, 2009 11:02 am) mikesLTD2001 (Apr 05, 2009 3:31 pm) sirpkp (Oct 02, 2009 7:50 am) igorveksler (Jul 09, 2009 2:50 pm)

Replying to: mikesLTD2001 (Mar 29, 2009 10:50 am) Mike,   Thanks for the update on how to resolve the temp gauge problem. Not sure what's up with your speedometer, though. Sounds like the cable/gearing associated with the speedometer is dirty. I suggest posting your question at this website mitsubishi-forums.com Hope this helps.
#192 of 232 Montero rear door adjustment by mikesLTD2001 Mar 31, 2009 (4:17 am)
Hi,   I have a Montero LTD and I got bumped from the back pushing against the spare tire. The ony damage is that the rear door does not close properly now. It has an open space at the top of the door. Is this just a readjustment of the door hinges and their shims? Any tips on how to check if the fit is right?   Thanks Mike

Replying to: mikesLTD2001 (Mar 29, 2009 10:50 am) Mike,   my 2001 Montero's temp gauge also indicates HOT after driving for a few minutes. This started a couple weeks ago and it seems to float between mid-level and Hot. I just had the temp sensor replaced and coolant flushed and it still happens. I had the radiator and thermostat (and more) replaced last year. All other gauges seem to be fine. You indicated that replacing the control board (MR532787) solved the temp gauge mis-readings. Was it easy to replace or does it require a mechanic?   Thanks,   Ross Replies to this message: mikesLTD2001 (Apr 05, 2009 3:31 pm) sirpkp (Oct 02, 2009 7:50 am)

Replying to: rosswl (Apr 03, 2009 11:02 am) It's really just a ten minute job. The guage cluster cover comes out with 2 screws and the cluster itself is held in by 4 more. The entire cluster pulls straight out and the control board is screwed on to the back of it with 4 screws. You need to be careful seating the board so your speedometer does not get flexed out of shape. The only problem is the board cost about 210. from a dealer. I found on e on line from a dealer in California for about 170 and a little shipping.   Mike Replies to this message: sirpkp (Oct 02, 2009 7:50 am)
