Good afternoon, dear members of the forum!
Yesterday my Padzherik left to serve the new owner faithfully, leaving pleasant memories of himself.
We operated it for 3 years, as planned. But the mileage was even more than expected during this period - 180 t.km. 5 days a week, the car was operated as a worker, transported people and equipment over distances of up to 500 km. And on weekends, holidays and vacations served as a vehicle for outdoor activities. Trips / expeditions on the roads and off-road of the Tver, Vologda, Kostroma and other regions. Hunting Fishing. Trips to a distant dacha when there is a lot of snow or in the spring thaw. The car pulled trailers (in the winter - with a snowmobile, in the summer with a boat or quadric).
Main costs:
The car was bought for 1.5 million. Sold for 1.35.
All three years he was insured under CASCO insurance. Tariff in the region of 5% of the sum insured.
Retrofitted webasto with remote control and timer. A very necessary thing for the comfortable operation of this machine. 3 years ago it cost around 60 tr. if I'm not mistaken.
The paintwork is weak. If the car is used on a country road and off-road (otherwise why such a car), it is necessary to tighten it in film. And that was done. The cost at that time was about 50 tr., If I am not mistaken. During operation, several elements were pasted over again when the film became unusable from an accident, stones and other mechanical damage.
Other necessary special stages: underbody protection, carpets were donated by the dealer upon purchase. I installed the towbar at my friends in the service. I don't remember the price.
Rubber. During the period of operation, 2 sets of AT rubber (Cooper) and 1 set of Bridgestone winter tires were purchased (the first set of winter tires came as a gift along with the car).
THEN. The car went through one MOT at the OD, and then was serviced by friends. OD breaks down prices as for Maybach. If my memory serves me, then the first MOT even at that time cost about 18 thousand. The frequency of MOT is every 10-12 thousand. The cost of filters, oils and other little things will bore neither readers nor myself. Moreover, over 3 years these prices have changed many times and by the current moment have increased by 2 times for sure. The oil in the automatic transmission was changed 2 times (60 and 120 tkm). Timing belt 1 time (90 tkm).
Fuel consumption on the highway depends on the load of the car and the trailer. From 9.5 liters.
There were also small repair costs.
Breakdowns and repairs.
In a big way, Padzherik never broke. The engine to 180 thousand was quite lively and cheerful. The checkpoint was also alive, but tired. Thousands to 200 will need revision / medium repair.
There were unpleasant little things and annoyed a little:
Amorth changed under warranty 2 times. The first time on a run of 20 t.km. The second time they said that they had installed modernized ones. They really turned out to be stronger. Still changed little things on the suspension (stub racks, etc.). Once (in the region of 140 t.km.) the rear springs were changed.
The chrome peeled off. Changed under warranty.
The plastic parts of the cabin deteriorated. They refused to change them, citing inaccurate use. Although if they were made with high quality, they would not scratch or break.
There were small glitches in the electrics (the airbag malfunction lamp was on);
The driver's seat swayed a little. The dealer was unable / unwilling to do anything. But this is probably an infrequent problem. My brother and I are large (I am almost 100, he is 110), the third driver (our employee) is also rather big. The design is flimsy. On the last day before the sale, the chair still broke.
Periodically, not the first time, the rear differential lock was turned on. Once it completely stopped turning on, tk. I tore off the tube, which is not very well located.
The windshield is quickly overwritten and does not resist chips well. Changed several times. There are scratches on the front side windows as well.
Stainless steel rusty J. Thresholds. Unexpectedly, but does not affect the operation.
There were 2 accidents in 3 years. Once at the crossroads, a Solaris flew under the back. Padzherik's bumper was smashed and the hitch was slightly damaged. The second time, tangentially, our side hooked the SRV. Padzherik wing and door for replacement. The metal is mediocre.
General impressions:
There may be a list of breakdowns and not very short, but all these are minor malfunctions that were quickly corrected, and the car did not stand idle.
A good resource is laid in the main components and assemblies of the car. Padzherik covered 180 t.km. And I believe that after eliminating the accumulated problems (now we need a gearbox revision, a suspension revision, a rack, a lot of maintenance, little things), the car will be able to safely go for the next 100 without much difficulty and investment.
The car, if you put it on at least in AT rubber, has excellent (for an unprepared car) off-road capabilities. The torque of the diesel engine and the lowering allow you to pull a boat on a trailer out of the water onto a steep and rather slippery shore. Thanks to the rear differential lock, it is enough to catch at least one side of the hard ground. It is better to turn on the rear blocking a little in advance, because it does not always turn on in place the first time.
Also, it was necessary to force shallow fords more than once. There are no problems with this. If I am not mistaken, the instructions indicate the maximum depth of up to 0.5-0.6 meters. I additionally had a snorkel.
There is almost always enough clearance. A couple of times I flew my defense against stones / bumps. Without consequences. The thrust of the motor is good, so most of the obstacles can be avoided by "running" and not run the risk of bumping into something.
The car breaks snow very well. The main thing is not to dig to the last, when the car is no longer moving forward. It is better to pass back a little on your own track and break through on the second try.
On a country road, if you go slowly, it shakes quite noticeably. Better to go faster. The suspension does not break through. It becomes more comfortable. It's a pleasure to ride.
On the highway, the dynamics of the diesel engine is also sufficient. But in general, in everyday use, I personally lacked a little comfort. The car works out roughly minor irregularities in the road. A bit noisy and there is extra vibration on the controls.
The seat and fit is generally not the most comfortable. The so-called "leather" on the seat is unpleasant to the touch. Very cold in winter and very hot in summer. Her back is sweating. If I had kept the car for myself, I would have altered the seats in normal / genuine leather.
The climate is not working optimally.
And, of course, the interior is too narrow. You notice this especially when 2 men in winter clothes are sitting in front. The three of us are cramped behind. There is not enough space behind the driver's seat and for the legs.
Demanding comfort from an off-road vehicle is probably superfluous. But apparently I'm getting old J
Sale:
The car skated for 3 years. A number of technical problems have accumulated that will require repair work in the next 10-30 t.km. We did not plan further use, because it implies periodic decommissioning for repairs.
The protective film has been removed from the machine. After which she acquired a very fresh look. The buyer was found very quickly. As a gift he gave him a regular rubber, which had been waiting in the garage for all 3 years.
Output:
I have never regretted my choice. Pajero Sport is a very decent car with honest off-road ability. He fully justified his 1.5 million. We can safely recommend for purchase and used Sport, but only to those who understand why it is needed.
I wanted to take a new Sport instead. They do not seek from goodness. But he didn't.
In the interior, the car, of course, has changed for the better. The seat has become a little more comfortable, the skin is better. There are more options. On the go, it seems to be softer, but there is nowhere to really try it on the test. This was the end of the pros for me.
Cons that outweighed for me:
1) No diesel. Which is strange, because the vast majority of previous sports were sold on diesel. I need a diesel for such a car.
2) Appearance and abundance of chrome. I'm not picky, but this is too much. Not mine. And if we imagine that there may be problems with this chrome (it will darken, etc.) ...
3) The car has become almost 2 times more expensive.
4) The salon has remained the same narrow.
If there were at least a diesel engine, I probably would have resigned myself and chose Sport again.
Early cars had in-line four-cylinder engines of the 4G64 series, familiar to owners of Galant and other Mitsubishi cars, but the main engines are still a 3-liter V6 of the 6G72 series with a capacity of 177 hp. with. and diesel 4D56, with a volume of 2.5 liters and a capacity of 99 to 136 liters. with. In regional versions, one could find larger 6G74 with a volume of 3.5 liters, and diesel 2.8 4M40, and other engines. But cars with them come across extremely rarely.

The three-liter V 6 prevailing in our market is really good. Cast iron block, successful design, worked out over the years, and very good traction characteristics. The timing belt is driven by a belt, but because the belt is strong and reliable.
The control system is far from perfect, but with minimal investment it can be put in order. Usually, plugs, high-voltage wires, ignition modules, lambda sensors and temperature sensors - and sometimes the wiring of the engine compartment itself - are brought in.
Serious damage to the motor can be caused by a malfunction of the cooling system - for example, antifreeze leaks (which are not uncommon) or fan failure due to viscous coupling or electrical problems. The radiators themselves are frankly flimsy, inflate when the system pressure rises, and are easily fouled in typical urban use.
The tendency to an increased oil appetite at age is usually tried to be eliminated with better quality oils and the replacement of valve stem seals, which is quite successful. With runs for 250-300 thousand kilometers, the oil appetite progresses up to 0.5 liters per thousand kilometers, but the engine remains operational, and even catalysts can withstand such a regime for a long time.
The main thing is not to miss the oil level, since the crankshaft is very easily damaged by the slightest fluctuations in the level. An oil with a viscosity of SAE 40 and higher is recommended, and a mandatory check of hydraulic lifters and hydraulic timing belt tensioner after 200 thousand kilometers. A little more trouble can be delivered by a leak in the intake manifold. Of course, you need to monitor the condition of the candles and high-voltage wires - interruptions in ignition lead to early failure of the catalysts, which, in turn, kills the piston group.
The condition of the gaskets of the front cover of the unit will also require attention. Leaks quickly kill the timing belt, the resource of which is typically about 90 thousand kilometers. Often it is able to pass even 120, but when oiled, it breaks down very quickly.

Unlike gasoline, diesel 4D 56 is not considered particularly reliable. A fairly old design, which was consistently forced from 70 to 99 or even 136 hp. with. corny does not withstand the load, despite the general thoughtfulness and quality of performance. The cylinder head and block crack, the pistons burn out under load, the rocker arm axles break, and sometimes even the timing belt tears at low mileage. With quiet operation, the engine can withstand both 300 and 400 thousand kilometers, but one trip at a speed of 120-130 km / h for a couple of hours can lead to cracking of the cylinder head and the appearance of excessive pressure in the cooling system.
The injection equipment on Pajero Sport engines does not cause any particular problems: the price of the components is low, EGR is easily muffled in the event of a malfunction, injectors are inexpensive. But all of this is in low-powered versions. As for the later European variants with a boost of more than 136 liters. with., then here the fuel equipment is different, and the reliability is also lower.
There are no special problems with manual transmissions, except that dual-mass flywheels and clutches on diesel engines are not particularly reliable. But the automatic transmission of the V4A51 series and its rarer five-speed version on the Montero 3.5 V5A51 can be safely attributed to one of the most successful and resourceful boxes. Before a run of 200 thousand kilometers, problems are extremely rare, even automatic transmissions with runs over 400 thousand without repair come across.
The main problems of a purely electrical nature are the failure of the rotational speed sensors during hard operation, as well as the rare replacement of the planetary gear sets of the overdrive. The resource of the clutches of the gearbox and gas turbine engine is about 200 thousand kilometers (twice as much as on modern 6-8-speed automatic transmissions), so, as you can see, the design is perfectly balanced.
On cars for the Asian market, you can also find the Aisin 30-43LE four-speed gearbox, familiar to many from Toyota Land Cruiser of different series. It is no less reliable and even withstands tough exploitation a little better. With proper maintenance, it easily overcomes the half-million mark, and in commercial vehicles there are automatic transmissions with a mileage of over a million kilometers.
What should you choose?
In the first part of the material, we have already made a reservation that despite the seemingly high off-road potential and reliability overestimated by many, it is better to prefer a car that spent most of the time in the city. In this case, the lack of a suitable and reliable diesel engine will not be a problem - the gasoline option will not only become more preferable for the wallet, but also not too compromise for operation. But the price of transmission malfunctions can be quite large, and there are many problems in it.
In the photo: Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 3.0 V6 AT "2005-08 For those who drive mainly in the city, cars with a permanent all-wheel drive AWD are recommended, with which the Pajero Sport's handling will be more or less light - these are mostly "Americans" after 2003 release. There is, however, an opinion that the best of all is a simple part-time 4WD, but it is based on the hypothesis of increased fuel consumption on all-wheel drive.
It makes sense, but the logic is broken: if you use a hardwired connection without a differential, then a disabled front axle really does save money. In the case of more "intelligent" transmissions AWD and Super Select, such a critical difference will no longer be, and the all-wheel drive will give you what SUVs buy for: confidence on slippery surfaces and mixed.
After all you've read, are you attracted to the Pajero Sport purchase option?
Mitsubishi Pajero diesel is of interest to many car lovers today. It is clear, because it is the diesel versions that are recommended by the experts of Japanese cars as the best options for the Russian off-road. All models are interesting, including Mitsubishi Pajero Wagon 3 2 diesel and others.
The main preference given to diesel Pajero is the possibility of good savings. Indeed, such fuel costs less, and diesel versions consume less, as a rule. The economy of diesel engines is mainly due to the high torque throughout the entire rev range. And the power units of recent years are generally super engines capable of showing the most unique capabilities.
The principle of operation of a diesel engine does not differ from a gasoline internal combustion engine. Inside there are the same cylinders and pistons, but the valve parts are significantly reinforced in order to be able to perceive the higher loads of the diesel unit without problems (they are twice as large as compared to a gasoline engine). This also explains the large mass and dimensions of a diesel engine in comparison with a gasoline internal combustion engine.
Differences are also observed in the methods of forming the combustible mixture and its further use. Here's what I would like to draw your attention to.
- In a gasoline engine, a fuel conglomerate forms in the intake system, igniting spontaneously in the cylinder from a spark plug. In a diesel engine, fuel is supplied separately. First, air enters the cylinders of a diesel internal combustion engine, then during compression, when the air heats up enough, fuel goes into the chamber under high pressure. It spontaneously ignites in an instant;
- Self-ignition leads to an increase in pressure in the cylinder, which causes the disadvantages of the power unit: loud noise during operation and rigidity;
- On the other hand, this development makes it possible to use fuel at a lower price;
- Diesel is also able to operate without problems on very lean mixtures.
Note. Interestingly, the environmental compliance of a diesel engine is also comparatively better, because when lean mixtures are burned, the emission of harmful components into the air is reduced.
Among the main disadvantages of a diesel unit are the following:
- strong roar when working;
- excessive vibration;
- lower liter power;
- problems with the plant during the cold season.
It will be fair to say that these disadvantages most of all relate to engines of the old type, and in modern engines these problems are no longer so obvious.
Turbo diesel
Mitsubishi Motors has been using turbodiesel units on its car models for a long time. It is believed that turbocharging is one of the modern and inexpensive ways to significantly increase the power of the internal combustion engine.
What is a turbodiesel - this is a separate type of diesel unit equipped with a turbocharger that increases engine power several times.
Pajero Sport diesel
This "ramnik", popular in our country, offers amateurs a couple of diesel versions today.
"Four" at 2.5
The 2.5-liter inline-four has many advantages. Let's consider the motor in more detail:
- This engine produces fewer horses than its analogue - a petrol 3-liter "six". The diesel power is only 178 hp, but the torque is 350-400 Nm, which is a good indicator for SUVs;
- On the other hand, the diesel "four" is called lazy by most experts and owners. Switching the automatic transmission to Drive mode, this is especially noticeable;
- Both boxes are easily integrated with the motor: both 5-speed "mechanics" and "automatic";
- The Quartet has 16 valves, but the timing belt has a belt, which is considered unusual for diesel cars;
- The engine consumes a little fuel, especially against the background of a gasoline unit. In the city "mechanics" consumes no more than 9.8 liters, on the highway and even less - 8.2 liters. The "automatic" version consumes relatively more, but these are already disadvantages of the box itself.
- The internal combustion engine is also distinguished by quite decent dynamics and accelerates to a hundred in 11.7 with "mechanics". So so, nothing. But with the "automatic" 2-ton Sport rushes much slower, accelerating to a hundred in 12.4 seconds;
- The disadvantage of the diesel Pajero can also be called sharp acceleration and overtaking. Indeed, it is inconvenient to maneuver on an SUV without it, and then there is a diesel version, where you need to adjust to the box and the accelerator every time, invigorating the engine with manual gearshifts from the steering wheel;
- The maximum speed of Pajero Sport with an automatic machine is 176 km / h, with a mechanic - 179 km / h;
- Noise - well, nothing can be done about it, diesel, nevertheless. On the other hand, such a uterine roar of the engine is appreciated by fans of brutal SUVs, but the constant "whistle" of the hand-out lever, vibrating from the engine, does not fit into any gate at all.
The 2.5-liter "four" is an upgraded 4D56 DI-D, known since 1980 as a very powerful engine. The third generation of this unit, endowed with electronic direct injection of Common Rail fuel, is already installed on Sport, which explains the good dynamics of the engine and moderate fuel consumption by most of the experts.
By the way, the L200 pickup truck is now being sold with the same engine. Only on it the 2.5-liter unit "Pajerovsky" is no match - the weak version is worth it. On the Elka, this same engine produces only 136 horses, which is 42 hp. less than that of Sport. But Mitsu Motors promises that they should soon enter the Russian market with an L200 with a 178-horsepower diesel engine.
A motorist who buys a diesel Pajero Sport gets a multifunctional computer-router with a proprietary inclinometer, which displays useful information about the angle of inclination of the car at a certain moment of movement (for SUVs, this is an important function that helps to determine by the angle of inclination whether the car will playfully pass various bumps or not).
Note. It is interesting that such a router is available only in the Intens and Instyle trim levels, but the expensive Ultimat does not have it (not counting the models released after 2014). But the top version has modern multimedia with all the bells and whistles.
Let us now compare the 2.5-liter diesel of Sport with the 3-liter petrol "six":
- The gasoline engine runs smoother, it's true;
- It is faster than its diesel counterpart, as stated in the technical data - for 1 second or more, but in fact, its "automatic" responds better to the gas pedal and the engine.
So is the momentary gain in dynamics and the high transport tax that is currently imposed on gasoline “sixes” worth the real savings on fuel consumption? We think not, especially since the gasoline version does not have the same traction as the diesel engine, which is felt well both on a flat track and off-road.
In general, the off-road for the diesel version is a expanse where the car easily overcomes such obstacles in front of which many gasoline cars fail. Dealers for an extra charge offer to install additional protection on the motor, gearbox and dispenser. If you are a lover of hunting and other purely masculine pleasures, and intend to often use Sport, like an all-terrain vehicle, then use the service. It is not worth saving on protection.
And winches, coupled with universal road tires with "toothy" mud tires, will generally turn the "Pajer" tank into a universal soldier.
3.2 liter engine
The Japanese offer another diesel Pajero Sport. We are talking about a version with a 3.2-liter engine, presented in Russia back in 2008. The car is available with both "mechanics" and "automatic". In mixed mode, this Pajero Sport consumes about 7-10 liters of fuel. It accelerates to a hundred square meters perfectly - in 10.4 seconds, and its maximum speed is 174 km / h.
Unfortunately, there are also disadvantages:
- Too free play of the brake pedal, although the car brakes well at speed;
- The steering angle is also too large, which negatively affects the handling (although, as anyone else - there are some drivers who like such a steering wheel).
Prices
Now Pajero Sport is being assembled in Kaluga. The Japanese decision to move production facilities to Russia is in some way explained by the natural disaster that struck Thailand in 2007. Recall that before the start of production of Pajero Sport in Kaluga, the car was brought to us from this Asian country, where it was assembled.
Note. By the way, the Outlander and other cars are also assembled at the Kaluga Automobile Plant.
The price of diesel Sport, assembled in Kaluga, has fallen in price. Now the brand new Mitsubishi Pajero Sport diesel 2.5 can be bought for 1.3 million rubles with the "mechanics" and for 1.4 million with the "automatic". A 3.0 petrol "six" with automatic transmission costs more than 1.4 million rubles. Pajero with diesel 3.2 costs 2 million or more.
Let's go over diesel competitors. Ssang Yang Aktion with a 2-liter unit is sold from 1,390 thousand rubles, but not everyone likes such a car. The new frame Chevrolet Triblizer is much more expensive - 1,444 thousand rubles and more. And the price of the Land Rover Defender and Nissan Pathfinder with a 2.5-liter diesel engine starts from at least half a million.
It turns out that only the "Chinese" and our UAZ are cheaper than Sport on a 2.5 liter diesel engine. Yes, Pajero Sport today has no "pure" competitors, since most frame SUVs have gradually left the race, and light crossovers have taken their place. So, if you need a real tank on which you can go into fire and into water, buy a Sport with a diesel engine, you will not regret it.

Mitsubishi Pajero
Let's present an encyclopedic reference:
- For the first time, the world saw a diesel Pajero back in 1981. It was a 1st generation Pajero with a 2.3-liter 4D55 diesel engine, which underwent engine restyling after 2 years. The diesel unit has been strengthened and equipped with a turbine, becoming even more powerful. Now it was called 4D55T or 2.3 TD for short;
- The next diesel engine began to be installed on the Pajero from the beginning of 1988. It was a 2.5 liter 4D56T with turbine and intercooler;
- Pajero 2nd generation or the Wagon was first equipped with a 2.5 liter diesel 4D56. Since 1993, the engine range has undergone a restyling: now the 4M40 with 2.8 liters with an intercooler and a timing chain has become the diesel version. In 1997, a full restyling of the second generation was carried out. Now 4M40 has become integrated with a 4-speed automatic transmission;
- On Pajero 3 generations, a 2-liter 4M41 was already installed, equipped with a DI-D direct injection system;
- The 4th generation Pajero was equipped with the same diesel version as the Pajero 3.
Throughout history, either turbodiesels or aspirated ones were installed on the Pajero and Pajero Sport jeeps. By design, these are motors of much larger dimensions than engines of passenger cars such as Lancer and others.
The main flaws of the Pajero diesel unit are called timing belt breakage, valve problems, jamming of balanced shafts due to lack of lubrication and other problems.
One of the stable, good engines among the diesel versions of the Pajero family is the 4M40 2.8 liter unit. It has been installed since 1993 and surpasses 4D56 in reliability.
If your choice fell on a diesel unit or you intend to buy just such a car from the Pajero family, then of course you will like its fuel consumption, and the price of diesel fuel is lower than that of gasoline. The diesel engine has a greater power reserve on one tank, which will allow you to call in at the gas station much less often. Among the strengths of the diesel engine is high torque, which makes it possible to accelerate from the very bottom. Decide for yourself what to choose: on the one hand, a modest appetite, reliability and good support from the very bottom, and on the other, more expensive service, lower speed and a worse plant in cold weather.
The 2nd generation Mitsubishi Pajero Sport SUV (restyled in 2014) is equipped with two types of power units. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder diesel engine produces 178 hp. and a torque of 400 Nm when equipped with a manual transmission (when installing an "automatic", the torque is reduced to 350 Nm). The engine is equipped with a common rail injection system and a variable geometry turbine.
The second engine available for an SUV is a gasoline V6, familiar from. In this case, it has slightly different settings. So, the maximum output is 222 hp, and the peak torque is limited to 281 Nm (at 4000 rpm).
Modification of the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2.5 diesel provides for equipping with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed automatic transmission INVECS II. The version with a 222-horsepower petrol "six" is completed exclusively with an "automatic".
The car has a frame body structure, sharing a platform with a pickup truck. All-wheel drive Super Select 4WD includes a symmetrical center differential that distributes the torque equally between the axles, as well as a rear cross-axle differential and a downshift. Both differentials can be locked, and the rear one is forced by means of a separate button.
Suspension Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is built according to the following scheme: front - an independent structure on double wishbones, rear - continuous axle.

Sport of the 2nd generation, produced since 2008.
Until 2010, New Pajero Sport was offered with two engines: a diesel 3.2 DI-D (4M41) with a capacity of 160 hp.
gasoline 3.0 l (6V31) with a capacity of 220 hp.
Turbodiesel 3.2 DI-D is a good engine, has a timing chain drive. Even with a run of about 200 thousand km, the condition of the timing chain does not have to worry about its condition.
There were warranty cases when, even on runs less than 50 t.km, it was necessary to change the turbine under warranty due to the rut of oil.
Also on the same runs there were cases of delamination of the rubber layer of the crankshaft pulley.
If not noticed in time, the pulley began to "walk", which led to abrasion of the engine frontal head up to the through hole through which engine oil began to flow.
The cost of spare parts is about 30 thousand rubles, and for work they will take somewhere from 30 to 50 thousand.
3-liter gasoline aspirated - sometimes, with runs of 20-40 thousand km, the intake manifold began (rattles) in the range of 1800-2000 rpm.
The malfunction is not massive, but you know, the cost of a new collector is about 60-70 thousand rubles. The timing drive in a gasoline belt-type engine, which is better to change every 60 thousand km.
You can watch the video version of the article on my channel:
In 2010, the 3.2 L diesel was replaced by the 2.5 DI-D (4D56U) with a capacity of 178 hp. The timing drive is also a belt, with a replacement interval of 90 thousand km.
But in fact, it is better to change the same every 60-70 thousand km: there are signs of wear and (cracks) on it.
By the way, the owners of the Mitsubishi L200 pickup truck, on which almost the same turbodiesel is installed, are well aware of this.
If you skip replacing the "tired" belt, then events develop according to a completely obvious scenario: rupture of the balancer belt, getting its remains under the timing belt, followed by destruction and meeting of valves with pistons.
The ventilation system of the crankcase gases of a 2.5 liter turbodiesel is electrically heated to prevent freezing, the contacts of which are melted.
Mitsubishi got out of the situation by changing the ventilation of crankcase gases with electric heating to unheated, and if it does freeze)))).
There have been such cases.
On Pajero Sport with a 2.5 DI-D engine with the arrival of cold weather, if there is a whistle after starting a cold engine.
This is the viscous coupling of the fan of the engine cooling system. You can change this node, but this whistle will most likely appear again.
This Extraneous Sound is a design flaw.
On runs in the region of 100 thousand km, the rear crankshaft oil seal is leaking.
It will cost you 8-10 thousand rubles to change it.
In general, this 2.5 diesel has a tendency to overheat during prolonged operation at maximum speed at high temperatures.
Many even install an additional fan on purpose.
Radiator cleaning is an integral part of Mitsubishi Pajero Sport maintenance.
Transmission
A 5-speed manual transmission is installed with diesel units.
Turbodiesel 3.2L, 4-speed automatic transmission (V4A5)
and with a 2.5 liter 5-speed "automatic" (V5A5).
On gasoline engines, only a 5-speed automatic transmission was installed.
Mechanics" reliable. The clutch lives more than 150 thousand km. The original clutch kit costs about 16 thousand rubles, for work - pay 8-10 thousand.
"Automatic" is technically reliable.
But on a 5-speed automatic transmission on Pajero Sport with a 2.5 liter diesel engine, there are often "glitches" of the box. "Automatic machines" on gasoline have different ECUs and control programs, and therefore this does not happen.
One of the jokes of all automatic transmissions is when the gears are not turned on and the car is completely immobilized, more often it happens on an unheated engine in the cold season, when the car is parked on a slope.
A similar thing can happen after a long skidding, but in this case, most likely it's all about overheating.
Automatic transmissions with 2.5 DI-D have their own "overshoots".
So, when the gas is thrown off in 3rd gear and the speed is significantly reduced to 10-20 km / h, an attempt to accelerate is unlikely to be crowned with success.
The engine will start picking up speed, and the downshifting will not happen, however, as well as acceleration.
Jamb in the logic of the box. Mitsu released firmware updates, but not everyone knows about updates, and not everyone undertakes a flashing.
Another nuance of a 5-speed automatic transmission is overheating during prolonged movement with interference (for example, uphill), and the transition of the box to emergency mode in 2nd gear.
To exclude such scenarios, some owners install an additional ATF radiator.
The design provides for its installation.
But on Pajero Sport for the Russian market, the ATF radiator is not installed due to the possible excessive hypothermia of the working fluid of the box in winter.
Transmission
Reliable when used regularly. Otherwise, the mechanisms may become acidified and the necessary modes will not be activated. It is necessary to inject the joint joints of the propeller shafts.
Pajero Sport has a fairly strong suspension. Levers go up to 150 thousand km.
Brake system
The brakes of Pajero Sport are more or less. But the steering is likely to upset you.
Rail knocks are a common problem.
The steering rack can knock even on a run of 30 thousand km.
The steering column also becomes a source of knocking in the steering column, which can knock up to 10 thousand km.
Until 2011, the steering column was changed, under a guarantee, which did not give any sense.Later, the column was filled with a special compound, which simply absorbs knocks.
But the worst thing is the biting of the steering shaft hinge.
There were also such cases.
It is possible to diagnose this node at an early stage, paying attention to the appearance of additional efforts when turning the steering wheel.
The cost of the hinge from dealers is 18 thousand rubles, in an online store - 2.5 times less.
BODY
Most often, the rear door is repainted on Pajero Sport. Clouded and chrome clouded.
The lowering / raising mechanism of the spare wheel often wedges in the lowered position. Well, such an unfortunate design of the mechanism. In general, I lowered the wheel, but could not raise it.
The airbag train ("snail") almost always crunches when you turn the steering wheel.
Electrician
Electrics have nuances only for owners of Pajero Sport with 6 airbags. On the dashboard, there are often malfunctions of the SRS system. Poor design in the contacts of the SRS control unit.
Cleaning the contacts, replacing the block, installing a tie at the base of the wires suitable for the contact, as a rule, do not eliminate the problem.
In general, finally:
It is worth paying tribute to the fact that with reliability, mainly in Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2, things are not bad. The suspension is strong enough, excluding the steering rack and steering column.
In general ... if you are ready to put up with all sorts of annoying, in my opinion, the little things of this car.
Cheap interior materials, no sound insulation as such, not very high-quality body painting.
Other details that prevent this car model from being the leader in this class.
Well, I was with you, Aker Mechanic, subscribe on the blog and YouTube channel.
P.S.
Pajero Sport 2 2014 assembly Kaluga, with a mileage of 18 thousand, the rail leaked, the entire power steering tank leaked out, the rail rattles on small bumps, a friend's car, bought in the same year, ran the rail ...
