Please What Are The Signs For Replacement Of Time Belt In Vehicle Generally by oba009(m): 4:50am On Mar 07, 2015 |
Good day nairalander, the increasing in the issues of time belt is getting me worry especially in all this vehicle that are not common in our road. Example Mitsubishi space wagon GDI to mention one. My questions are: 1. What are the signs your time belt need to be replaced. 2. Any interval for the replacement like we always do for engine oil. 3. Peradventure yours is not visible, hope the mechanic will not damage the engine while trying to remove it. please your contribution if you experience it before and how did you solve will be appreciated. thanks. |

oba009: For your Mitsubishi GDI which is an "interference engine" (type that bends valves when timing belt snaps), your timing belt change interval should be at about 60,000miles if its an OEM belt. (Manufacturer specified) |

Lolz! oba009: You can do it yourself if you know how. Doctors or lawyers don't work on cars but mechanics. (just kidding) All mechanics are equal, but some are more equal than others 1 Like |

Why do people have issues with this motor like this I used too have one till 2012 Manual Transmission And I tell u its A Cool Ride The 2.4L Gdi engine is a horse, I had over 375,000km in that ride with the engine that came with it Known issues The legs , I work on them every 8months because they start making some kind of noise on bad roads Lik 15k to fix... So affordable I service with recommended oil every 5months Plugs easily Go out. , as for dt one I replace them twice a year .... I had my timing belt snapped Thrice The first time my valves Got Bent 2nd and 3rd the valves survived All this 3 snaps withing 7000km The culprit was one of the pulleys that drives the belt It was replaced And since then she worked fine for a long time till I sold it when I bought My dodge charger I serviced nozzles too for dirts .. Never had any issues with fuel system or pump or Gdi problem Owned it for 4years Overall Nice car and Awesome Fuel Economy |

You are the first person that comment good on this car, though I have not experience time belt issue and i dont want to experience it so I got to take precaution. The reason is that I have seeing quite a number of users stranded here in Abuja because when the time belt cut it affect valve which will later result to ordering for another engine.There is case now that have being packed for close to a year in a mechanic shop the current issues on that is the electrical system even after they place new engine of close to 120k. Mine is still within a year that I ordered it from germany and i dont want to experience that ugly side as the machine is good. Thanks all the same. Readonee35L: |
