In 1996 the world was represented by 8-th of the account modification Mitsubishi Galant. This car is just like almost everyone - both in Europe and America, and Asia. Not for nothing the following year after the release of the model has won the most prestigious award the Japanese auto industry - Car of the Year in Japan ". Mitsubishi cars have always been famous for innovative technical solutions, but the Galant 8-th generation was still, everything else, very successful in terms of design. Perhaps it is - the most beautiful of all time Galant models. It should be noted that the eighth-generation Mitsubishi Galant was a lot of modifications - different engines, bodies, box. In the domestic market, the most common motor was 4G93GDI. In contrast to the European versions installed on Mitsubishi Carisma, he had much more "horses". On the features of this engine is already discussed earlier. There were two body variants: sedan and wagon. Wagon for the domestic market called Legnum. In Russia, the most common "Europeans" on which stood motors 4G63 (two-liter inline-"four" power of 133 hp..) And 6A13 (2,5-liter V-shaped "Six" power of 163 hp..). Indicated in the passport power may vary in small range depending on model year, the region and a catalyst. There were cars with engine capacity of 2.4 liters, which were supplied to the U.S. market. In Russia, on the secondary market, they are also found. There were exotic versions, such as the VR-4 - all-wheel drive, turbo and 280 hp. with. under the hood. Technical solutions applied in the car, aimed at achieving outstanding results on controllability - multi-link suspension front and fully independent multi-link - behind. Front levers of aluminum reduce unsprung weight, improving handling in general. The design of the car designed and quite modern even by today's standards. With the V6 engine car has outstanding dynamics. However, we must remember that the bad roads the 8 th European Galant does not like. If you frequently travel by car on poor-quality coverage, its content will be very expensive. In this case, it is better to look to another model. Shake up the suspension - the pleasure is not cheap, but it better not to delay. Ball bearings in a car alone do not change, the levers are in the collection, it is better to take the original. "Neoriginal" now appeared, but the price / quality ratio is still preferable to the original. When buying a car in the secondary market would be nice to look at the condition of the engine. Mileage these machines tend to have a decent, so it is advisable to draw attention to a leak from the valve cover. There may be streaks of oil underneath the belt cover. All of this seemingly small change. However, to replace the front crankshaft oil seal on the V6, not to mention the background, the work cheap. Easy clip-clop by a valve cap can result in replacement of 24 lifters. However, in the case of two-liter engine there will be only 16. Generally, six-cylinder engine - it is "Premium" even for business class. The dynamics of the car with this engine will please the active driver. Despite the fact that "horse", apparently, a little bit. Several of my friends assured me that achieved at a car speed of 240 km / h. Of course, keep in mind that the maintenance of six cylinders is much more expensive than ordinary terraced Quartet, even the candles on a transversely installed V-shaped engine is not always easy to change. Now body parts are not bankrupt owner of Mitsubishi Galant 8-th generation. Taiwan produces an array of non-original spare parts on the body and optics. There are radiators, condensers, fans, hoods, fenders, mirrors ... and optics DEPO already on everyone's lips - at normal quality compares favorably with the price of the original. Do not let the "neoriginale" only rear fenders, trunk panels. This means that the kick in the rear of the car is costly. But it is better to this, of course, not to bring. About the same consumables for Galant giving a standard, but useful advice: buy "neoriginal" from reputable manufacturers in the audited areas. Manual transmission defects are annoyed, the problems in my memory was not with them. Desirable to use a standard oil viscosity grade 75W90 GL4 or GL5 - porridge butter will not spoil. Synthetic origin of the oil will be an additional guarantee of a long and precise work of ILAC. The service life of synchronizers depends on driving style, it is desirable to reset the gas switching. As Auto Galant was put on the famous adaptive INVECS II, which was already mentioned earlier. Just want to remind you that this is - a very advanced automatic transmission. Learn how to use it, you can compete with the "mechanics". Every 60 thousand miles in INVECS change ATF and oil filter, which is outside. ATF is filled with brand DEXRON III SP3. Since 1999, automatic transmission have been upgraded, there was a box INVECS II Sport with manual shift. Galant for the U.S. market - a completely different car, although superficially very similar to its European counterpart. Construction and completion of the "American version" an order of magnitude easier, the same applies to the suspension. "American" bad roads are not afraid, as well as low-octane gasoline. 4G64 engine capacity of 2.4 liters, which is set for overseas clients, designed just for difficult operating conditions. In the U.S. they are difficult because of the mentality of the car owners. This engine capacity of 145 liters. with. and high torque has also used the company Chrysler, and later - and other automakers. This versatile unit with slight modifications, and moved to the Galant with serial number 9. Usually from overseas cars come with automatic transmission, with the same successful INVECS II. For our operating conditions, may be "American" seems preferable. But residents of large cities, traveling, usually on good roads, "European" would be more interesting. Not meaningless, and buying a car with right rudder and engine 4G93 GDI. Thanks to direct injection of fuel will be pleasantly surprised. The biggest savings are achieved on the track at a constant speed of about 90 km / h - 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers. This is - the norm for a country profile. Moreover, this flow with air conditioning and automatic transmission. Riding with sharp acceleration and braking will put everything in its place - in "open" mode, GDI uses the fuel for all its power, and the machine is rather big. Motor oil on a car with a run (especially if the mileage is unknown, for example, when buying in Russia) is recommended to use high viscosity - the motor will last longer, and the hydraulic lifters on a thick oil working longer. Optimally - 5W50, if the motor is not turning up to 8 thousand rpm. It is a pity that the next generation Mitsubishi Galant lost their attraction as a result of a failed design. And the motor was only one - a universal all-time 4G64 volume of 2,4 liter. "Classmates» Toyota Camry and Nissan Teana offers a wider choice of powertrains, and rightly so. Sales of the 9 th-generation Galant, to put it mildly, is not impressive. They are very well sold Lancer, which had inherited from his "older brother" is so successful appearance. Let's hope that Mitsubishi will consider their mistakes and the next Galant will repeat the success of the model 8-th generation.
