I read the suggested remedy: #22 of 22 Re: 4x4 dummy lights blinking [rtsco] by mujman Oct 04, 2006 (7:13 am) Did that work? Does anyone have any other suggestions? I also have not had any problems... is there something to fix? Should I expect a problem?"> |

I have a 2000 Montero Sportwith 75k miles and am noticing a smell of burnt motor oil caused by oil leaking from the rear of engine valve cover gastkets ... Is this symptomatic of these truck ... Am told that it will require 5 hours of labor to replace these gaskets ... Thanks

I had a sport and now i have a full size... Yes, this is common getting into the 7 to 10 year and over range. The good news is: It's just the gaskets and you could just do it yourself (it might take you double the time[ouch]& you'll save some money. The bad news is: It's really not such bad news...5 hours labor is approx. $60.00/hour plus parts. If you ask me it's worth the money, time, and if you don't have the experience/tools a simple gasket could become a nightmare!

Replying to: deejay1 (Jan 09, 2007 5:29 pm) BTW, if you try and randomly punch in the codes, you have three tries, after the third time with the wrong code the radio will lock up, you will then have to leave the key in the on position for 1 hour. I do not know if any of this is true or not, however, I did try 2 random codes and the screen indicated that it was the 2nd error, so I will wait until I get the radio out before I try it again. I also found a site where a person had a 2000 model, and they said that if you are real careful you may be able to pull the cup holders half way out and gently pry the top plate off of the radio, they stated that the code was on the front top of it, I tried this but no code, although I did locate the serial numbers. Good Luck. |

Replying to: lvmsls2wd (Jul 07, 2006 2:11 pm) A few days later, the belts started squealing real loud, we then took it to my mechanic to have them replaced, which I could have done them myself, however, I am glad I did, with 130k miles on this vehicle, none of the belts looked like they were the right ones, so I had him go ahead and change all the drive belts, fan belts etc as well as the timing belt, and while we were that close to it, the water pump. It is a good rule of thumb to change the pump any time you are replacing the timimg belt or vice versa. This trip cost me $684.72, parts and labor, the one good thing is that it was all mitsubishi parts, where before, who knows. You will definitely pay for the named brands, but what the heck, use what's called for, when you try and just get by, your only asking for trouble. My only regret is that I did not let my mechanic do ALL the work, I may have even saved some cash by doing so. This vehicle looked as if it hadn't had any servicing on it at all, other than the original owner taking extremely good care of the exterior and interior, it seems they forgot about the motor. Something to remember about the timing belt, if you do not service it or any other major functioning part for that matter, you just may wind up with a real nice boat anchor. Good Luck. |
