The head gasket in my 2004 Mitsubishi Challenger has blown and the mechanic has found more problems when he opened the engine. Does Mitsubishi assist in fixing these types of problems?
Answered by CarsGuide
11 Apr 2024Under Australian Consumer Law, all brand-new cars sold here must come with a factory warranty, but it’s up to the manufacturer where to set the time and distance limits for that model. But even the most generous car-maker isn’t going to apply a warranty to a car that is now two decades old and has covered goodness knows how many kilometres.
For reference, most new-car warranties now cover a vehicle for between five and seven years. You will sometimes find a manufacturer will help out with some of the cost of repairs if the vehicle is only slightly out of warranty (and then, usually on a pro-rata basis). And that will only ever happen if the vehicle is question has an absolutely perfect service record.
If your engine has multiple problems, the best advice might be to look for a good, tested second-hand engine and replace the whole thing.
