Isuzu MU-X 2021 Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Isuzu MU-X 2021 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

  • Air conditioning problems with the 2021 Isuzu MU-X LS-T SUV

    This is an annoying but relatively common problem in many cars, not just the Isuzu. Because a car’s air-conditioning system dehumidifies the air (as well as cooling it) the water that was suspended in the air has to go somewhere. When everything’s working properly, there’s a small drain-hose from the air-con unit, through the floor to under the car where the water can be dumped with no problems.

    But what often happens is that the little tube or drain-hose becomes blocked. At which point, the air from the atmosphere has nowhere to go other than inside the cabin where it causes the mayhem you’re experiencing. By locating the drain-tube and cleaning it out, the problem should go away. If not, you need to look more closely at the car’s heater matrix which also lives under the dashboard and can leak coolant into the cabin for a similar range of problems.

  • Why did the wheel on my 2021 Isuzu MU-X fall off?

    Unless the wheel nuts have sheared off or the bearing or axle failed catastrophically, the most usual way for a wheel to fall off a moving car is if the wheel nuts were not torqued properly by who ever removed the wheels most recently. Has the car ever had a new set of tyres? Or was the wheel that jumped ship changed at any stage because the tyre was flat?

    Perhaps the best advice is to approach your state motoring club. These clubs often operate a technical inspection service where the cause of faults can be determined and a written report supplied. This is then considered an independent source of evidence and may be helpful if the matter is taken to a dispute hearing.

  • Issues towing a 2150kg caravan behind a 2021 Isuzu MU-X

    Even though your caravan is not at the towing limit of your vehicle, more than 2000kg still puts a pretty big load on the Isuzu’s engine. And that, simply, put, is why it’s using its gearbox to keep the engine happy and revving at the appropriate speed to safely make the power and torque you require to move that caravan at highway speeds.

    The short answer is that you won’t be hurting the engine by allowing the gearbox to determine what gear it needs to be in. Quite the contrary, and over-riding the transmission to force the vehicle into a too-high gear would, indeed, damage things by overloading various components.

    Short of fitting a more powerful engine, there’s not a lot you can do about this. After all, you’ve taken a two-and-a-bit tonne vehicle and more than doubled its weight (with the caravan) meaning you’re asking it to do twice as much work with the same engine. Fundamentally, you can’t beat physics.

  • I am not happy with the fuel economy in my 2021 Isuzu MU-X

    It's true that new engines can be 'tight' and this can lead to higher fuel consumption than they achieve with a few more miles on board. And since you're almost at the 30,000km mark now, why not try the dealer's advice and see if things start to improve.

    The MU-X was never the most fuel efficient vehicle in its class, but even so, 12.2 litres per 100km on the highway sounds a little excessive (although not as much as you might think). I'd expect this vehicle to return highway fuel economy figures closer to 10 litres per 100km or maybe a bit less.

    However, there are several factors that might be skewing your results. The bluff aerodynamics of a vehicle like the MU-X mean that even a slight headwind can increase consumption. So can the addition of accessories such as a bull-bar and roof racks. A set of roof racks on their own can add a litre of fuel to every 100km travelled, and that's if they're not loaded. Throw a spare tyre and some gear up there and it's even worse.

    Bigger (taller) tyres can also increase fuel consumption, and so can running your tyres at too low a pressure.
