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 (Mar 29, 2009 10:50 am) 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. |

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) 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

Hi, Not sure if anyone can help me. I have a 2002 mitsubishi montero xls that is overheating. There is a metal pipe towards the back of the motor that is leaking. Does anyone know the name of this pipe so that I can replace it???

i have a 2002 montero sport, and we had our mechanic do some work on it recently (calipers, etc), but the service engine light was coming on and still is. he plugged it up to his computer but it says it is a dealer code... it still comes on whenever we drive long distances, and usually when we are heading up hill (we live in the mountains)... it has 140K miles on it, and has been a great car. i want to take good care of it, but really prefer to use the mechanic we always do rather than pay dealership service prices. any ideas about the origin of the light? thanks!!!

My 2002 Montero has 35000 miles and at the garage they said that I have to change my timing belt. I am confused because the Mitsubishi maintenance book says that I have to do it at 60000 miles. Can some one help me ? Thank you
