Our "avtohirurg continues to share experiences. At this time - the exploitation of one of the most popular in the recent past cars - Mitsubishi Carisma. Concern Mitsubishi - a very versatile plant, which produces not only cars. Electronics - one of the most important products of this company. If the European cars is put, as a rule, Bosch, then the "Japanese" - basically Mitsubishi or, more rarely, Hitachi. Reliability of the Japanese electronics has long been known to all, and in the modern car, "stuffed" with such systems, the vast majority of failures falls exactly on the electronics. And in the same - a pledge of reliability "Japanese". I would like to talk about very interesting from my point of view, and a very popular car. This - Mitsubishi Carisma. The new one now no longer buy (discontinued). This "Japanese" hails from Europe, met in Holland. The platform is identical to the Volvo S40, but the similarities with the "Swede" on it and ends. Since 1997, Mitsubishi Carisma staged two brand new unit: 4G93 GDI engine and an adaptive automatic transmission Invecs II. Independent Rear Suspension "multilink" to the effect of passive rudder control Mitsubishi makes a very decent, GDI engine saves fuel, and the new "automatic" adapts to driving style. Officially, the car was offered with the mechanics of an engine capacity of 1.6 liters, a friend of Lancer. After restyling appeared engine of 1.3 liters and 83 liters. with. as well as manual gearbox with a shorter number of transmissions. The car also came with a diesel engine of 1.9 liters and another two petrol volume of 1.8 liters and 116 and 140 hp. with. Officially, Russia to supply cars with petrol engines in 1.3 liter, 1.6 liter, 1.8 liter GDI and diesel 1.9 liters, of which the most common were 1,6 l and 1,8 l 4G92 GDI 4G93. It makes sense to elaborate on the engine with direct injection, because it is the most demanding quality of service. This engine was developed in 1995, the series began to be installed on the Galant and Legnum for the domestic market in 1996. What is interesting is gradually power of these engines manufacturer began to decline. If the first Galant with GDI, which I had to serve in the PTS stood 170 hp. with. then a couple of years the majority of machines specified capacity was only 140 hp. with. At Mitsubishi Carisma raised quite deforsirovanny option - 125 hp. with. However, despite this car has a very serious dynamic. Good performance, high torque. "Pull" is already beginning with 1000 rpm. Fuel pump, which go into the domestic market are not interchangeable with European - so keep this in mind when purchasing used items. Fuel consumption, direct injection is much lower - the engine runs on sverhbednoy mixture. On average, 1/30-40. If you need a speaker - no questions. Slam on the gas pedal injection is carried out in two stages - at the intake stroke and compression. In the mode of cardinality ratio of gasoline / air is different - about 1 / 15. Accordingly, increases and consumption. Due to what a fuel economy? Required to ignite the mixture is formed directly around the spark plug due to injection into the cylinder. Spark plugs, special, iridium. Cost about $ 23 per piece. From bad gasoline quickly fail. The catalyst is also very sensitive to unauthorized additives in the fuel. Stands well, so I recommend only to refuel at gas stations tested. Subtilize with electronics not advise it, in case of failure of the neutralizer - replacement. Oxygen sensors, too afraid to lead. Despite some limitations on the quality of gasoline, the engine is worth the money. You see it right away, sitting behind the wheel. If you look at the car below, then it becomes clear that it was not designed for our roads. To a large extent this relates to Carisma, which were imported from abroad on their own. Clearance is so low that it is sometimes scary ride. In addition, the bottom part is the corpus siluminovy ??automatic. He is somewhat protected by the longitudinal steel girder, but if the strike will have little left / right - the body end. Interestingly, the pan with automatic transmission is not, box consists of two parts. Cars bought from official, have a higher landing - is where to place the protection of the steel casing. Longer springs, increased stroke shock absorbers - to the realities of our stuff useful. Package for the bad roads, installed on cars sold in Russia, is only the original - to save money and put Kayaba shock absorbers fail, the same applies to the springs. Shims under the cup will not be included - a move the shock absorber is small. Released two - or put the whole package, or go gently. This is possible too. A few words about servicing automatic transmissions. Unlike simple boxes, Invecs two filters - inside and out. Outside looks like engine oil filter is changed every time the ATF. Internal, under the rules, needs to be replaced every 100 thousand miles. True, none of us do not, even the dealers - a very complex operation, it is necessary to disassemble the automatic transmission. Oil in Invecs is Dexron III SP3. Changed every 60 thousand miles. The suspension is not plagued by malfunctions, but needs regular inspection. What to do - the more complex design, the more expensive maintenance. If you notice backlash rear levers and rods, of course, must be replaced. Front ball joints change with the lever. Props dampers go long, as long as are the shock absorbers. All, of course, depends on the manner and place of riding - a complex multi-link independent suspension does not include operation of the vehicle on the broken coat. Steering - with hydraulic booster. Criticism of the mechanism have not heard from anyone. In my memory, even tips nobody changed. ABS is necessarily present in the car class «D», as well as many other safety systems and simple amenities. Such as airbags, power windows, heated electrically adjustable ... Of course, air-conditioning. On sale you can find lots of non-original spare parts, but keep in mind - all the breaks on VIN. For restyled and dorestaylingovyh cars even consumables are often different. You can, of course, not the original place of well-known manufacturers, but the candles on the GDI recommend using only the "native", even though they are expensive. Valve gear on all engines belt every 90 thousand miles in need of replacement. Change is desirable, together with the rollers - in this case do not save, breakage will lead to a serious repair. At 4G93GDI are hydraulic lifters, so when a tapping from under the hood it is desirable to call for service until the cams camshafts were not round. At 4G92 valves are adjusted manually. This operation also should not be overlooked when purchasing second-hand immediately recommend checking clearances. Brake before restyling even on top versions is often walked drums - easily othazhivayut to 100 thousand kilometers. Front disc standard - 30-35 thousand km. Corrosion car is protected very well. 70% of the parts are galvanized - bottom and all its associated panel. If the machine is "in bloom", then most likely she had been in an accident. Not entirely clear what purpose is retired as a successful car. Lancer - lower class, Galant - above, Outlander - too big, and with parking spaces in the city problems. Body, which had been proposed for the Carisma, - a hatchback and sedan. Neither the Lancer, Galant or especially in the back hatch is not released. On the role of low-cost family car can claim Colt, but it is smaller and weaker. And besides, much easier and suspension, and engines. It turns out that the company Mitsubishi stripped capacious niche? However, they know better. The service life of foreign cars is high enough, then we have another opportunity to go on such a nice car, a Mitsubishi Carisma. No wonder he has such a name - the charisma he just is.
