Noob from NT

Postby schooner on Tue Feb 06, 2018 11:47 am

Hi all
Just bought a MN on the weekend....have had a 3.2 Paj and a 2.8 Delica
now for a new era of Mitsubishi.

My only concern was when i looked at it i noticed the radiator header tank was low
so old mate topped it up and ran well but now i read it looks like it might be a problem with this model.
Have a lot to learn.

oh well time will tell.


Cheers

I have had my mn for awhile and haven't had any issues and its done 135K. Just keep looking at the temp gauge for awhile to make sure there are no overheating issues. Also make sure the radiator cap has a 127 sticker on it. Coolant to water ratio should be 50/50. If it hasn't been serviced in awhile, do it asap.

I have remapped mine and made a huge difference, also added a K&N air filter and had no issues with overheating.

Don't trust the temp gauge, much better to use a scangauge / ultragauge etc and watch engine temps in real time.
Better to be silent and thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt.[

Getting mine ready for NT and WA run may this year.
Ive found it great so far (brought s/h with 26k just clocked over to 37k in 3 years :D )
Just keep an eye on it.
Not much else you can do.
