Mitsubishi I-MIEV 2016 FAQs

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

• Why aren't my 2023 Mitsubishi Triton's windscreen washers working?

  Let’s go back to basics here: Is there water in the reservoir? It might sound like a silly question, but many owners don’t think about routine maintenance like this, mainly because modern cars are so reliable in the first place.

  If there is water in the reservoir, can you hear the washer pump motor when you hit the lever for the washers? If you can, then there could be a blockage in the line somewhere (it wouldn’t be the first time an insect or dust has blocked one of these tiny tubes). If you can’t hear the motor, the problem is most likely an electrical one and could be anything from a fried pump motor to a simple blown fuse.

  Don’t be confused by the wipers working and the washers not; they’re two very separate systems.

• Cracked cylinder head on a 2016 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Exceed

  Cracked cylinder heads and blown head gaskets are not completely unknown on this engine, but exactly how big a problem it is is the real question. There’s one theory that the cylinder heads crack when mechanics over-tighten the fuel-injector hardware or try to remove stuck injectors with too much force.

  The good news is that replacement cylinder heads are readily available and can be had in bare form or in fully built-up form including all valves and springs.

• What year did Mitsubishi start using a CVT on the ASX?

  The ASX was launched in Australia in 2010 and from the very start was offered with a CVT transmission, as well as a conventional manual transmission, depending on what specification you chose. The ASX’s CVT differs from some by having six fixed steps which makes the car feel and sound a little less alien to drive, but also potentially sacrifices a small degree of efficiency. That’s because the CVT is most efficient when allowed to use an infinite range of just-so ratios, rather than the six fixed ones Mitsubishi specified.
