Mitsubishi Lancer - sale, prices, credit. Lancer X: a representative of the measured generation of Mitsubishi Price and equipment

Mitsubishi Lancer X gained popularity among young drivers due to its design and the fame of the older brother Mitsubishi Lancer 9, which was famous for its reliability and rally character. But did the 10th Lancer take over everything? positive traits, has it become more reliable and more attractive to the consumer? - this is to be found in the article.

Short story

Mitsubishi Lancer X began to be produced in 2007 in sedan and hatchback bodies. It is worth noting that the car is produced and assembled for Russian market, exclusively in Japan.

Until 2010, the Russian consumer had access to cars equipped with engines with a working volume of 1.5 liters with a power of 109 Horse power; 1.8 liters with 143 horsepower; and 2.0 liters with 150 horsepower.

After restyling in 2010, the company revised the line of models supplied to Russia, and added a modification with a 1.6-liter engine and 117 horsepower, but removed a modification with a two-liter engine and a modification with a hatchback body.

General provisions

According to masters from professional stations Maintenance- Lancer "tenth" generation is unpretentious and reliable. However, according to the owners, the car has many nuances and some disadvantages.

It is noted that the quality Mitsubishi bodies Lancer X is very worthy, and does not cause any complaints, but the quality paintwork leaves much to be desired. As experienced car owners note, the paint on the car is very delicate, and you can get a deep scratch from an accidental touch with the keys. Therefore, you should not hope for the absence of chips from pebbles and small scratches on a used car. When buying this model, it is advisable to book it with a transparent film or cover it with a heavy-duty varnish. But there were no complaints about body rotting.

There is still a serious drawback with frankly poor sound insulation. As the owners note, for untrained drivers, driving on a dirt road or getting rubble under the wheels can cause a heart attack from unexpectedly loud shots on the bottom and wheel arches. On the one hand, the problem is not so serious, but the solution can cost 30-40 thousand rubles.

And most importantly, the new generation has lost its "rally" handling, and the car at a speed of 140 km / h begins to float on the road. And the driver has to constantly "catch" the car. In addition, when quickly overcoming sharp turn(90 degrees at a speed of 50-60 km / h), the rear axle of the car enters.

Also, there is a problem that the car is very popular with car thieves. Although such dubious popularity is difficult to explain (the car is not very expensive, and there are no problems with it secondary market and there is no shortage of new and used spare parts), but the situation is complicated by a very simple regular anti-theft system, which is not a problem even for novice craftsmen. Therefore, it is very important to complete the car with additional security systems.

In addition, although the car is considered reliable, its maintenance and repair cannot be called budgetary. Original spare parts are very expensive, and Taiwanese counterparts did not perform well.

I would also like to note that the car is quite reliable in comparison with modern competitors, but in addition to some well-known problems, it has several design flaws. So for example - the air conditioning system of the car interior works properly and reliably throughout the entire period of operation, but the location of the radiator of the air conditioning system failed. As in many cars, the air conditioning radiator is placed in front of the main radiator of the car's cooling system, but is located at such a distance that the gap between the two elements becomes clogged with dirt and debris. Therefore, the owners are forced to clean it every 50-60 thousand km, and the radiators have to be completely removed.

Interior quality

Surprisingly, but even here the Japanese retreated from their principle of high-level performance. In addition to the fact that the interior is distinguished by frankly cheap plastic trim, the interior design is also suitable for cars from the 90s.

The plastic used to finish the door trim and center console is soft on the one hand, which reduces scratch resistance, on the other hand it is surprisingly noisy and holds together. Therefore, the appearance of numerous "crickets" will not be surprising.

Also, some owners note the insufficient quality of the standard audio system, but this problem is possible due to a lack of sound insulation. In some cases, an interesting malfunction appears - in the cold season, the central lock on the rear doors stops working.

Otherwise, the interior of the car has all the qualities of modern inexpensive cars. But even in new machines, the quality and design remain the same.

Electrical and electronic quality

As for the electronic and electrical filling of the car, in this regard, apart from a couple of comments, there will be no problems.

By about 150,000 km, the contacts of the frontal impact sensors, which are responsible for triggering the airbags, can oxidize and rot. But the problem is that the contacts cannot be restored, and you have to completely change the sensors. Therefore, when a warning indication appears on the instrument panel (SRS), this is the first place to check for a malfunction.

Also, there are unusual cases when the wiring harness is frayed for air filter. In this case, you can expect any symptoms and any problems with the car's electronics.

Well, the most common problem with electrical stuffing in this car is heated rear-view mirrors and rear window. Even on new cars, it can fail, and the fuse box starts to get very hot in places where the relays are installed (heating can reach up to 83 degrees Celsius, and even the wiring starts to melt, in a single case there were traces of melting on the door trim). Naturally, a specific smell of burnt wiring may appear in the cabin, but the indicator on the button and the cut-off switch that turns off the heating after 20 minutes will work normally. Most often, the power fuse 25A - 30A and the contact pad are to blame. Their replacement will cost from 700 to 2000 rubles, depending on the service and the cost of components.

Mitsubishi Lancer X powertrains

As masters from car services and experienced car owners note, the power units themselves are reliable, although not without nuances, but all problems arise due to insufficient power and the car's predisposition to an aggressive driving style. Therefore, for fast acceleration and higher power, drivers have to squeeze all the “juice” out of low-power motors. It leads to serious problems and rapid wear.

This especially affects engines with a displacement of 1.5 liters 4A91, which turned out to be weak for this car. Due to constant work at the limit of its capabilities, the motor rarely survives the milestone of 150,000 km.

At a constant maximum load, the motor begins to actively “eat” oil, which leads to a rapid clogging of the oil channels in the pistons and to coking of the rings. Naturally. This leads to even greater consumption of automotive oil and accelerated failure. catalytic converter.

Sooner or later, the driver may not keep up with the rapidly decreasing volume engine oil, which will lead to overhaul unit or its complete replacement. Although the manufacturer has released a new series oil scraper rings on the pistons, but this did not lead to an absolute solution to the problem. After all, the operation of the motor remains at the limit of its capabilities.

But it is worth noting that the manufacturer produces repair kits with a complete set of the piston group of the second size. But having learned the cost of such a kit, most owners of the tenth Lancer will lose all desire to repair it.

As for the later version of the car (starting from 2012), which is equipped with a 1.6 4A92 engine, there is no definite answer. The engine is not much different from the previous one, but has not yet had time to show itself from the bad side. Although many minders look at him skeptically.

Power units with a working volume of 1.8 and 2.0 liters are more reliable and have lost the sores of weaker versions. By modern standards, their resource without repair of 200,000 km is a normal indicator.

But all motors are united by the only nuances of operation - they are very sensitive to various kinds of contamination of the throttle valve and the absolute pressure sensor in the intake manifold. At the same time, the car begins to “inadequately” respond to the gas pedal, unevenness in operation or tripling begins to appear, or it starts to start poorly. To solve the problem, it is enough to rinse thoroughly throttle valve and clean the sensor. But it should be borne in mind that it is better to entrust this to professionals.

In addition, some specimens show a feature, a feature, not a problem. They do not warm up well in winter, but you should not worry about this.

It is worth adding about the service life of the catalytic converter - it is at least 100,000 km, further work depends on the driving style and car maintenance. But many drivers do not repair this unit, but put an inexpensive snag that emits normal work converter for the on-board computer of the car.

The quality of the steering mechanism of the car

Models of the first years of production with a 1.5-liter engine were equipped with electric power steering, which often failed. Therefore, when buying a car manufactured in 2007-2008, it is necessary to clarify the question about this element. This rarely happened, but it did happen, the electric amplifier could fail completely. Or stop working when turning the steering wheel to one side. At the same time, the mechanism is absolutely beyond repair, which is why it was necessary to change the entire mechanism assembly. But apart from rare cases of failure, the mechanism has shown itself to be quite reliable and does not cause trouble to the owner throughout the life of the car.

Cars with engines of 1.8 and 2.0 liters were already equipped with a classic power steering system that works like a Swiss watch. Subject to scheduled replacement hydraulic fluid every 90 thousand km. The only thing that can happen is a leak in the fluid return line from the rack to the pump, due to the fact that the tubes can fray in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bmounts to the steering mechanism.

But the whole picture of reliability, a little, spoils the relatively small resource of steering rods and tips. In this car, it does not exceed 60,000 km.

Please note that some Mitsubishi buyers Lancer X complained about the car pulling to the left or right side. At the same time, the camber and toe angle, rubber and other elements were normal. Therefore, before the final purchase of a used car, be sure to make several test drives on a flat and straight road. Since, getting rid of this "feature" will not work.

The quality of the suspension and chassis of the car

There were no critical problems in the chassis. Therefore, you can pay attention only to some of the nuances and the average service life of the elements.

For example, like the previous version of the model, the service life of silent blocks on the front levers does not exceed 60,000 km. But it should be taken into account when replacing that the resource of the ball joint is limited to an average of 90,000 - 100,000 km, and it only changes in conjunction with a lever. Therefore, think about the advisability of replacing only the rubber bands.

Front shock absorbers show standard level reliability for modern cars. Their resource is from 120,000 km, but it is recommended to replace it in tandem with thrust bearings.

And it is worth mentioning the small resource of the struts and bushings of the front and rear stabilizer. They will have to be changed every 30,000 - 40,000 km, or the appearance of a knock on small bumps and pits - is inevitable.

Lancer X transmission quality

The weakest link in the whole car was the CVT, which was offered in pair with engines with displacements of 1.8 and 2.0 liters. Despite all the precautions and careful attitude to the CVT transmission, it could serve about 150,000 km.

Although repairs are possible, only a qualified specialist and the replacement of many original spare parts are needed, which will cost a “round” sum, and all the costs of repairing and restoring the transmission can reach 120,000 rubles. Therefore, it was more profitable to search for and purchase transmission options in the secondary market, which cost up to 60,000 rubles.

In addition, the variator suffered greatly from overheating due to the unfortunate location of the oil cooler on pre-styling models. For some reason, the manufacturer placed it in front of the right wheel. Right behind the plastic fender liner, which provided excellent access to dirt and water. Therefore, after each winter season, it was necessary to carry out maintenance of the radiator, removing and washing it, but this was complicated by the fact that this radiator was subject to corrosion, and had an unpleasant feature - by 120,000 km the oil supply fittings could bend. Therefore, the masters selected an analogue of the radiator from Hyundai, which cost 7,000 rubles, instead of 20,000 rubles of the original.

But the "miracles" did not stop after the restyling of the model. For some reason, the automaker decided to ditch the CVT radiator altogether - as an extra detail. This led to more frequent cases of overheating, and, accordingly, the failure of the unit. But domestic craftsmen got the hang of installing a radiator, as on previous versions, using the same analogue (fortunately, the regular attachment points remained). At the same time, it was necessary to change the variator cover, which lost two additional outlets for oil circulation.

It is worth remembering that the CVT transmission respects a careful attitude and a calm ride, and absolutely does not tolerate shock loads. Such as a sharp start with wheel slip or sudden braking.

mechanical box five-speed gears were present in all vehicle trim levels, but different models were used for cars with more powerful or weaker engines. In terms of reliability, there are no complaints about both models. mechanical transmissions. The only caveat is the need to replace gear oil every 100,000 km.

The four-speed automatic transmission is a time-tested model that's reliable as a tank. Therefore, even the masters at service stations could not remember a single case of repair. According to the manufacturer's recommendations, the oil should be changed every 90,000 runs.

Conclusion

Mitsubishi Lancer X is an average car from which one would expect excellent "Japanese" quality, but in return you get an average car that does not differ much from other inexpensive ones except for design. Therefore, when choosing a car in the secondary market, you can safely look at models from other manufacturers.

But if desire or chance makes you buy Lancer X, then you can remember a few highlights:

1) This car is not intended for street or professional racing, although its design and stereotypes encourage such behavior.

2) You should not expect luxurious interior decoration from it, this model is characterized by asceticism.

3) In case of any malfunction, you should not look at spare parts analogues of Taiwanese origin. Fortunately, in Russia there is no shortage of used spare parts, but new original ones are very expensive.

4) Only a careful attitude to the car will allow you to enjoy it, and not experience negative feelings about the quality of the car.

Item 232632 not found.

Mitsubishi Lancer comes with air conditioning, ABS with EBD, halogen headlights, 16-inch wheels, heated seats and on-board computer. There is no audio system as standard. The “Invite+” bundle is distinguished by the presence of a built-in MP3 radio, fog lights, a leather steering wheel with audio control buttons, leather gear levers and a parking brake. The maximum configuration "Intense" has climate control and a 6-disc CD changer with the ability to play MP3. The external differences of the Intense modification from the previous ones are a sports suspension with a clearance reduced to 150 mm, a strut between the front struts in engine compartment to increase the rigidity of the body, chrome-plated grille trim and an aerodynamic body kit with a large spoiler on the trunk lid. In 2011, the car was restyled, there was a chrome grille trim, a color display on the instrument panel, alloy wheels new design, the equipment of the basic configuration has improved, in addition to this, even more inexpensive equipment"Inform" (1.6 MT) with simplified solutions external design, interior and equipment.

In Russia, this car is offered with 1.5 MIVEC engines (109 hp) with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission and 2.0 MIVEC (150 hp) with the same manual transmission or CVT. After restyling in 2011, Mitsubishi Lancer is already offered with 1.6 (117 hp) and 1.8 (140 hp) engines, which also use the MIVEC system - a proprietary technology for changing phases and electronically controlled valve lift. With it, optimal power characteristics and reduced fuel consumption are realized. So, for example, with a 1.6 engine, gasoline consumption is 6.1 liters per hundred kilometers. In addition, thanks to this technology, the new motors have increased "elasticity" - that is, the ability to develop high torque over a wide rev range.

Suspension Mitsubishi Lancer - MacPherson strut with anti-roll bar in front and "multi-link" rear. This design, which has been typical for several generations, is an integral part of the Lancer and, in terms of comfort, distinguishes the car from many classmates. Cars with CVT Sport Mode are equipped with paddle shifters - speed switches. Car ground clearance - 165 mm.

As standard, the car is equipped with frontal two-stage airbags for the driver and front passenger, belt pretensioners, stiffeners in the doors, ISOFIX mounts. Of the electronic "assistants" used: anti-lock brake system, distribution system braking force, emergency braking assistance system. In the “Invite +” and Intense trim levels, there are additional side airbags, a driver’s knee airbag, and a front passenger airbag with a deactivation function.

The silhouette of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 with its center of gravity shifted down, sharply outlined stern, high tornado line, swept profile, graphically clear wing contours and smooth outlines of the struts really resembles a military fighter. Fans of sports cars will certainly prefer to buy this model. The developers managed to very successfully focus on its dynamic character with the help of a monolithic frontal zone resembling a slightly open snake's mouth, slanted headlights, a spectacular rear wing and a circular plastic body kit.

Practical and comfortable interior

The sale of these cars is very active. Market research in a city like Moscow only confirms this argument. The new stylish interior of the cabin contributes to the growth of the model's popularity. The developers have offered users an ergonomically organized space that allows them to sit comfortably during long journeys.

All configurations of Mitsubishi Lancer X are equipped with a highly informative dashboard, an impressive center console with a carbon-look finish, anatomical seats with improved relief, lateral support and a high seating position. lined with leather wheel with a comfortable grip, it has paddle shifters and audio center control keys. Thanks to the multifunctional LCD display, people in the cabin get an expanded range of communication options.

Mitsubishi Lancer X engines: efficient and economical

Gorgeous specifications demonstrated by the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 power units are due to the carefully designed timing design and the presence of an electronic controller that ensures the synchronous operation of the valves.

Unique MIVEC technology

A serious competitive advantage of these motors is the use of MIVEC technology. In this case, due to design features camshaft provides differentiated operation of the ECI-Multi distributed injection. The injection operates in two modes. One of them corresponds to the movement on high revs, the second - to the movement at low. Mode change is carried out automatically.

The motor, equipped with MIVEC technology, is able to provide a sharp start and comfortable driving without switching to low gears. Due to the automated valve timing, qualities such as "power" and "fuel efficiency" no longer contradict each other.

Safety innovation

In order to protect consumers from road risks, the manufacturer has equipped cars of this model with a complex of modern safety elements. Strengthening the body structure according to standards car brand Mitsubishi is carried out in accordance with the technological principles of RISE. This allows, in comparison with competitors, to increase the rigidity of the car frame by 52%.

Among the highly effective solutions for protecting people, 7 airbags, an anti-lock system, and a brake force distribution function are offered. These innovations have become the key to a true triumph Mitsubishi cars Lancer X, the price of which is quite democratic, when performing crash tests of the committee Euro NCAP. These machines for the first time in history car brand received the highest rating of 5 stars on the European safety scale.

Mitsubishi Lancer 10 (Mitsubishi Lancer X)- the tenth generation of one of the most popular models produced Japanese company Mitsubishi Motors. Lancer is one of those machines, without which it is already impossible to imagine the modern auto industry. The previous generation of this car has become a real bestseller in the world market, and, by right, is considered one of the most unpretentious cars in its class. The hero of today's review is no less in demand than its predecessor, but whether he has lost his former reliability in the race for modern trends, now let's try to find out.

A bit of history:

For the first time a car with the name Lancer (A70) appeared on the market back in 1973. Initially, the novelty was conceived as a transitional model for filling the gap in model range companies between compact hatchback Minica and Galant sedan, and was created on the basis of the Mitsubishi Colt. The car was presented in three body types - sedan, coupe and station wagon. hallmark This model from other representatives of the company was the presence of disc brakes on all wheels, the use of a safety steering column and a 98-horsepower engine with two carburetors - the Mitsubishi Lancer 1600 GSR. A rally version with a 165 hp engine was also produced, which in 1973 took the first four places in the Australian rally, and a year later won the East African Safari Rally.

The debut of the production version of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 took place in 2007 at the Detroit auto show. However, the appearance of the novelty and its appearance became known back in 2005, after the premiere of Concept-cX (it was shown at the Tokyo motor show) and Concept-Sportback (it debuted at the Frankfurt auto show). When developing the novelty, the Project Global trolley was taken as the basis, which had previously been successfully tested on. This generation of the car was endowed with a unique, memorable appearance, thanks to which it became one of the most successful models in the history. In addition to the original design, the Lancer 10 was endowed with a safe RISE body, made according to unique technology(body rigidity in torsion increased by 56%, in bending - 50%). However, there were also details in which the novelty was significantly inferior to the previous generation - sound insulation, interior trim and driving performance.

In 2010, the model experienced the first restyling, during which minor changes were made. technical changes. A year later, the manufacturer made changes to the appearance of the car - new 10-spoke wheel disks, the architecture of the bumpers and the framing of the radiator grill have changed (chrome trim has appeared), expanded the line power units. The update in 2014 was aimed at eliminating some technical shortcomings - shock absorber anthers appeared, the ability to change steering rods (previously the part was assembled with a rack), the reliability of wheel bearings, etc. increased. In 2018, it was announced that the production of this generation of the model was discontinued.

Problem areas and disadvantages of Mitsubishi Lancer 10 with mileage

The paintwork of the body is soft and thin, which is why it painfully endures even a meeting with the branches of bushes (scratches). Due to the fact that the body quickly loses its presentable appearance, the owners often carry out cosmetic repairs, repainting problematic parts, which makes it more difficult to identify a broken car. When inspecting cars that have undergone cosmetic repairs, check gaps, openings, integrity of the joint sealant, and look for the presence of putty. The manufacturer also saved on external body panels - the thickness and strength of steel leaves much to be desired. to corrosion body iron unwillingly, but this is more the merit of galvanizing than the metal itself. Despite good corrosion protection, leaving chips for a long time without attention is not worth it, since mushrooms can still appear in them. Rust most quickly affects thresholds, hood, roof and arches, trunk lid, door seams, joints between wings and bumpers.

It would be useful to pay attention to the bottom of the car. Rotten Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is still a rarity, but there may already be certain inclinations for this. In the absence of proper care and additional anticorrosive treatment, arch niches, spars, brackets, seams and a niche near the fuel tank. In the engine bay, seams and cups are a concern. Among other disadvantages, it is worth highlighting the softness of the protective plastic of the front optics, which, moreover, becomes cloudy over the years, which reduces the quality of the light beam. Polishing will help restore the headlights to their former transparency, and you will have to glue the film to protect them from scratches. It is also worth highlighting such troubles as leaky foglights, play in the door handles, unreliable fastening of the mirror linings and front door seals.

Power units

In our market, Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is found with gasoline engines 1.5 (4A91 109 hp), 1.6 (4A92 117 hp), 1.8 (4B10 143 hp), 2.0 (4B11 150 hp) and 2.4(4B12). Rarely, but still, diesel versions 2.0 DI-D (136 hp) come across. Looking ahead, I’ll say that all the engines of this model are reliable and, with proper care, do not present significant surprises.

Petrol

Gasoline engines have one common disease - the sealing ring between the manifold and the catalyst quickly burns out, because of this, unpleasant sounds appear during acceleration. Ignition coils do not differ in survivability (symptoms - the car does not start well). It is also worth noting that the throttle is sensitive to pollution - it is recommended to clean it every 30-40 thousand kilometers. For cars of the first years of production, the “Check” indicator on the instrument panel may light up for no reason - it is treated by updating the firmware. Since these engines do not have hydraulic lifters, every 80-100 thousand km it is necessary to adjust thermal gaps valves. For cars with HBO, this procedure should be carried out more often. If this is not done, the valves will begin to hang over time.

The most problematic in the line are the stock engines of the 4A9 series - 1.5 and 1.6 liters. The main disadvantage of these internal combustion engines is the tendency of the piston rings to coke - leading to an increase in oil consumption. If this trouble is not followed up in the future, the maslozhor can adversely affect the resource of the connecting rod and piston group (the liners rotate, scoring appears). The timing chain is also not reliable, which often needs to be replaced on a run of 100-150 thousand kilometers (stretched). The crankshaft seals and gaskets withstand about the same amount. If tightened to fix leaks, escaping oil will kill the pulley drive belts. On average, the resource of motors is 300,000 km, but with proper maintenance they can withstand up to 400,000 km.

The 4B1 series engines are also not without problems that cause a progressive oil burn, but here it manifests itself after 200,000 km of run. Of the shortcomings of these internal combustion engines, owners most often note increased noise and a tendency to vibration. For cars with high mileage, problems can be delivered exhaust system(walls burn out) and the timing chain (stretches). On older Mitsubishi Lancer 10, it is necessary to monitor the condition of the wiring and injector connectors (they break). If you do not keep track of the catalyst and oil level, there is a high probability of scoring in the cylinders. In a 2.4 engine, the cause of scoring is aggressive operation without preheating. A signal about the presence of a problem will be tapping on a cold engine. These motors are not without minor troubles, such as leaks in gaskets and seals, damage to pipes, etc. The resource is about 450,000 km.

Diesel

Diesel versions were equipped with a modernized two-liter engine of the EA188 series, borrowed from the VAG concern. Of the main problems faced by owners of diesel Mitsubishi Lancer 10, it is necessary to highlight the rapid wear of fuel equipment, the hexagon of the oil pump, the USR valve and the particulate filter (only the BSY engine has a particulate filter). Also, there are frequent cases of loss of lubrication due to a burst oil supply pipe to oil radiator and turbocharger failure, but these ailments tend to occur on high mileage. In addition, this diesel is famous for its good oil appetite, which can reach 1 liter per thousand runs.

Transmission

For Mitsubishi Lancer 10, three types of gearboxes were available - mechanics, automatic transmission and variator. Strange as it may sound, but the 5-speed manual transmission, which is paired with 1.5 and 1.6 engines, causes the most problems. In this box, in addition to the unreliability of synchronizers, bearings, couplings and gears, a rather weak case. Before buying a car with such a box, be sure to listen to the box if there is a hum in it (it is advisable to check it on a lift). It is also necessary to look at the oil, whether there are pieces of metal and gray turbidity in it. But manual transmissions, which were combined with 1.8 and 2.0 engines, turned out to be more enduring. Of the general problems of mechanics, weak drive seals (flow) and noise when shifting gears can be distinguished.

Among automatic boxes gears, the most widespread was the 4-speed automatic F4A51. This transmission is quite reliable and, with timely maintenance, does not particularly bother with breakdowns up to 300,000 km. From weaknesses Automatic transmission should highlight the pump, speed sensor and oil seals. On long runs of 200,000+, failures in the operation of solenoids, valve body, planetary gears and brake bands are possible. It should be noted that this machine does not like dirty oil, overheating and sudden starts. The six-speed JF613E is a rarity for our market, as it was installed only in diesel versions and with a petrol engine 2.4. The main problem of this machine is the rapid wear of the friction clutches, the particles of which are carried along the gearbox, clogging the oil channels, solenoids and valve body. Despite this, for owners who change oil every 30-40 thousand km, the box takes care of about 200,000 km without significant repairs.

But the reliability of the Jatco JF011E variator largely depends on the quality of service (it is recommended to change the lubricant every 40-60 thousand km) and operating conditions. With proper care and correct operation the variator will last about 250,000 kilometers. This transmission painfully endures work in traffic jams and over long distances - it overheats (after overheating, it is recommended to replace the oil in the transmission as soon as possible). The first in this unit are the solenoids, shaft bearings, step motor, spline connections of the planetary gear and its clutches. With an aggressive driving style, the belt quickly stretches and the cones are damaged (seizures appear), after which it will be cheaper to change the box to a used one than to repair it. Signals about the malfunction of the unit will serve extraneous sounds, jerking and hanging. Also sure signs of imminent death are the presence of small metal particles on the tip of the dipstick and the smell of burning.

Resource suspension, steering and brakes Mitsubishi Lancer 10

This model is equipped independent suspension with MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link design at the rear. Chassis Mitsubishi Lancer 10 has a good resource and is well adapted to domestic operating conditions. Of the weak points, it is worth highlighting the rear springs, which sag after 120-150 thousand km. The rest of the suspension resource is above average. Stabilizer struts run about 30-50 thousand km, bushings up to 60,000 km. Front shock absorbers and thrust bearings are enough for 80-100 thousand km. Silent blocks of levers, wheel bearings and ball bearings withstand a little more - 100-120 thousand km. The silent blocks of the subframe need to be replaced after 150,000 km. Multi-link rubber bands with moderate loads last 100-120 thousand km. But rear shock absorbers and hub bearings (change assembled with the hub) can last up to 150 thousand km. Trailing arms need to be replaced every 150-200 thousand km. It is worth noting that the camber and toe adjustment bolts are prone to souring.

The weak point in the steering is the rack, which will often make itself felt by the appearance of knocks in the first hundred thousand kilometers. Closer to 150,000 km, the rail starts to flow. Buying an original part is a costly business - $ 600-700, fortunately, the rail is maintainable (repair costs $ 150-250). Another disadvantage is a small resource of steering tips. The electric power steering, which is equipped with versions with the 1.5 engine, does not differ in exemplary reliability - it starts to fail closer to 150,000 km (the part cannot be repaired). The remaining versions are equipped with a classic power steering, which, when regular maintenance and the absence of line leaks does not cause unnecessary problems.

The brakes of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 are reliable, but owners of cars with top-end engines often blame them for insufficient efficiency. brake system and rapid wear of pads (30,000 km) and discs (50-70 thousand km). The calipers are very afraid of dirt, since the finger covers are rather weak here (it is necessary to change it every 4-5 years). In "older" specimens, wedging of the rear brakes is possible due to souring of the pistons of the brake mechanisms. Early enough, the ABS unit also requires attention (when driving through puddles, it floods) and sensors with wiring.

Salon

The interior trim materials of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 are quite budgetary, and the build quality leaves much to be desired - the seams of the front panel are poorly fitted, and there are backlashes in the attachment points!
