After MONTHS of trolling the net I couldn't find any answers to this simple problem. Part numbers for the crossmember/gearbox stabalizing mounts in my 2002 1.9 DiD Carisma.
Ended up I removed the mounts Googled the part numbers put the old mounts back into the car and waited.
Volvo part numbers are
Front crossmember stabalizing mount 30611143
Rear crossmember stabalizing mount 30611465

Replaced the mounts today now I have CLONK FREE gear selection and NO rattles or banging when turning right or reversing.

Hi there, Just wondering what sort of mileage people have up on their Carismas?
I have 118000 and she is still smooth and reliable. What is the highest around and how many can I expect to get out of a well looked after and serviced car?

Hello,
Crashed by carisma DID and replaced with anothe carisma DID.
Stripped all pieces of the old one (2002).
What is the shown electrical piece does anyone know. Something to do with the immobilize system.
It is not the keyless entry system as it is a seperate item. Perhaps it has something to do with the
keyless entry.

Thanks
JC

Hi Everyone,

I currently am living in Finland (Helsinki) and I do not know how to find 1.8 GDI new exhaust and intake valves to replace with the old ones. Open for any suggestion!

Cheers,

HI, the rad fan on my 1997 Carisma has stopped working. An auto electrician has tested it and has proved that it is not the fan itself that is faulty. He has asked me to order a new switch but I'm told this model doesn't have one. Any ideas what the fault could be and how to rectify it? Thanks

Evening

Unfortunately I have justly got rid of my 51 plate Carisma 1.8 GDI for a nice SEAT Leon FR TFSI the car has been towed away but I realise I still have an uncut key here if anyone in the Leicestershire/Rutland area wants it...

Cannot be bothered to sell it on eBay so if you pick it up you can have it...

Just the key no fob or anything, it's a new blade and is ready for a new code...

Pm me if you want it...

AutoZone gave me, free, an adapter that fits onto the wiper arm after you remove the old blade (2 screws to remove). The adapter fits over the arm and enables you to put a more conventional blade on it. Attach the adapter with two new screws that are a fraction longer to accommodate the thickness of the plastic adapter. They told me Toyota had a similar set-up and they kept the adapters to help customers. Adapter comes with a pin about 2 in long that slips into the adapter and enables a new blade assembly to fit onto it. I think it was a Bosh blade as they said it was the simplest one to attach, $12.

Hi all,
I put my 2004 carisma 1.9 DiD in for a mini valet today but when I picked it up the rear wiper wasn't working. Thinking that it may be a blown fuse I consulted the owners manual but can't find the rear wiper fuse listed in the diagram.
Would appreciate any help as to which fuse is for the rear wiper or any ideas as to what the problem may be.
Many Thanks

I have a Carisma '04 1.9DI with the radio casette head unit capable of controlling a multi CD

1) what is the cd changer model i should be looking for?
2) where are the cd changers located in the carisma?
3) can you fit an after market stereo that will still operate the cars computer - mpg etc?

thanks in advance

Hello all

Does anybody know where I can check the fuse for the cigarette lighter on a 1996 Carisma.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Just recently I acquired a 2002 1.8 GDI Carisma auto with 110K km and so far i love it. Fuel economy is very good (around 6L/100km on highway) and i actually like the handling - not a race car but very easy in town and stable on highway.

The only thing that really annoys me is the squeaking/creaking noise the interior makes. My cure against it would be to user cloth tape. I managed to silence the trunk with it but the noises from the dash are still killing me.

Could you please help me to guide through how to take out the center console.
Here is a random picture of dash from the internet.

Hi all.
I now have a 1996 Carisma 1.8 auto, but I don't have the owners manual. If anybody has one then please would you mind post some pages for me. I just need to know what all the buttons, switches, knobs are for, how to work the radio, etc. Just general owner information really.

Many thanks in advance.

is there much of a differnece between the manaul and automatic front pipe its just that i may need a new front pipe should hopefully find out tomorrow and i can only find the manual front pipe and i have the automatic box in a 1999 1.6 glxi carisma and is it easy enough to remove the oxygen sensor if i decide to change it myself

Hi guys, i have a carisma 2004 diesel and i am having problems with very slow idle and the car is shacking alot when car is stationary. The car runs perfectly apart from this it has good power when on the move and is not sluggish. The idle speed is around 500 rpm and whilst idleing the engine does not cut out but if any slower i think it would i have changed air and fuel filters
But no luck thanks in advance for any help

Hi Everybody!

A week ago I notices that when turning the steering wheel at low speeds (parking) there was a rattling noise. If done quickly It was normal. The car felt ok. Today the noise started increasing and now I can even hear it at normal cruise speed. I can also feel some feedback on the wheel. The car is a DAO 1.6. It has around 150000 miles on it. Can you guess the problem? I hope it's not the rack and pinion steering...... That would hurt..


Thanks!

I have a very strange problem with my Carisma 1.8 GLS from 97. It all began with the car grinding in reverse, at which point I decided to have the clutch replaced as it had driven about 300k kilometers (~186k miles). At first, this seemed to solve the problem as the shifting became easy and the reverse stopped grinding. However, after about 120 km (~74 miles), the clutch failed and I could not get it to shift anymore.

This did not make any sense as both the master and slave cylinder had been replaced and bled, so the clutch housing was yet again disassembled and out came the clutch. There was no visible damage and as there was no testbench available, the clutch was deemed defective (the pressure plate to be more specific). I then got a new clutch, which was then fitted. This one seemed to work too, but after about 30 kilometers (~18 miles), the reverse began grinding. However, the grinding does not happen all the time.

Does anyone know what may be the cause? My only theory right now is that the flywheel needs to be calibrated/replaced or have its bearing replaced.

--

First clutch: Valeo 826008
Second clutch (current): Exedy MBK2073

Hi all i just wanted to ask if anyone elses fuel range display actually works all the time and not just intermitently as my car. its works great when i have a quarter of a tank of fuel left but when i fill up it just freezes until its back on a quarter tank???

Have YEAR 2000 W reg 1.8 GDI 5 DOOR HATCH and have lost my only ignition key. Only had the one key and none of the immobiliser keys either. Has anyone had a replacement done in the LONDON area and by who, any help would be great, thanks

Hi.

I have strange problem with my Carisma GDI. I unsuccessfully tried to find similar thread, so I apologize if this was discussed before.
Problem is when engine warms up and then cooled for approx. 20-30 minutes, engine light stays on and engine won't start. I manage to start it up after it is cooled down or after 15-20 times with engine light on. Engine is starting perfectly when cold.
Has anybody came across this issue before and what might be causing it?

Thanks.

The air con (not climate control) works only with the fan in speed position 1. If I want more cold air, I normally increase the fan speed, but the air con now switches off in switch positions 2, 3 and 4. The car is a Carisma 1.8 gdi 2001 model. Any suggestions what the problem might be and where I might start to fault-find ?

Hi,
I'm trying to change the timing belt on a '98 1.6 SOHC Carisma - 4g92 engine.
I have all the info on the engine itself, fitting the belt, timing, tensioning etc.


The part I can't figure out is how you are supposed to remove and refit the engine mounting block that straddles the belt....

I've got it out by removing the cam pulley, but that has to be back in place with the belt on before fitting the mount bracket, to set the tensioner.

I have the engine in blocks & a jack, so I can raise or lower it slightly, but I don't want to overdo it and damage or strain anything. It looks like it would need to be lifted / lowered several inches to put the bracket cleanly back over the belt.


Has anyone done this in the vehicle & can give me some pointers?

Thanks,
Robert.

I have trouble changing the clock light in my car. I can't fint any way to open the clock on a easy way.
Can somone describe who this is done?

My 2002 Carisma (97.000 miles), sometimes lacks power and the revs won't go over 3000 rpm, It has actually cut out a few times and I have had the AA put their diagnostic machine on it and nothing showed. I have had a friend clean all the engine sensors, hoses, put engine flush through her and renewed the filters and oil; and it is still doing it! My friend says it could be the EGR valve, but I dont want to go and buy this if it is not that's not what's wrong with it. Can anybody help please?

Hi all, first post I think. I've been having some trouble with my 2001 (X) carisma for a while now, it starts nicely every time, when I pull away its ok most of the time, but between 1800 and 2300 rpm roughly (mostly in second gear and occasionally in 3rd, 4th and 5th) it looses power, no matter how hard I press the gas pedal nothing happens, if however i take my foot off the gas and re apply it the problem goes away, it has happened a couple of times when i drop down to fourth gear to over take a slower vehicle which is not such a good thing really when you need the power to pass safely.

No error codes or ecu issues displayed.

I have been advised to replace the air flow meter but want to make sure that if I buy a second hand one I get the right one, I can't afford £358 + vat for a new one.

The numbers on mine are as follows on the ident sticker:-

Top left big 500 Top right 9426
Bottom left E5T08371 (and directly under 9426 is) A

Can anyone please tell me what these numbers mean and which ones I need to ensure are the same?

At a guess I would say that the 500 and E5T08371 need to be the same and the 9426A is a serial number?

Thanks in advance for any help. Greg.

My Mitsubishi 2003 1.6 Carisma has the engine management light staying on. The code reader informed me it was the 02 sensors!! I replaced the front one and the light came back on after 30 seconds so I refitted the old one, I then replaced the cat sensor one and same again after 30 seconds so refitted the old one. I had an MOT done and the CO at 2,500 RPM was 0.000 and the reading at idle was 0.002 so like a new car, the old sensors were very clean especially the front one and the car performance is fine. I disconnected the battery also to do the reset and started the car and the idle was 300 to 500 RPM and I could then drive 20 miles or so but the light only comes back on after you restart the car and the idle would go up to 500 to 700 RPM. Originally the light came on after the AA had to get into the car as our spare ignition key would not open the door due to a badly cut key!! s strange one. I hope someone has seen this before as the light just annoys me that's all.I had this checked once before and I was informed it was to do with the central locking?? and not to worry about it. If you continually get he codes checked the garages are not frightened to charge you but this time I new someone with a reader this time but still unable to get to the bottom of the problem.

Cheers Bob.

Hi, I have carisma 1.6 from 2000, the newer body.
I am about to replace my screen wipers linkage in the front but I don't know how to remove the plastic panel that is covering it. I removed all the visible plastic pins but there is still something holding it just in the center. No access from outside. I managed to download some manuals from the net but it doesn't show anything. Anyone knows how to do it?
Thanks

Hi!

I have bought a Parrot Asteroid car stereo which have a 30 min standby time when I turn it off (ignition off).
But this doesn't seem to be working on my car because when I turn on the ignition the car stereo is starting fine and the player boots up fast from standby (within the 30min). But when I start the car the stereo goes black and then cold boots (takes a long time). Do anyone know if I can do something about it? I have tried to switch the yellow and red wire on the ISO but the same thing happends. Do i need to get power directly from the battery to the stereo?
I have a Mitsubishi Carisma 1,6 2003

Hi
My heater control light doesn't work -carisma 1.9 did 2003- has anybody changed the bulb in one of these units if that's possible ?
or is it a case of buying a new complete unit ?

hi my carisma 02 inside of tyres are worn through the steel and rest of tyre is as new this is on both sides anyone with any ideas of what is wrong also top shock mounts are gone aswell in the front im in ireland and cant get these parts without going through main dealer and dont have the kind of cash to get them parts any where i can get them

I've been working through diagnostics to sort out some problems on my 2000 Carisma diesel [f8qt motor with Lucas rotary pump].

When I get to the injection timing I hit a brick wall; there are some electrical gizmos on the fuel pump. does this model have an electrical timing advance mechanism?

According to the repair manual I downloaded from this site, the pump pulley is adjustable, but when I had it off I was sure it was one piece.

I eliminated the imobilizer already [replaced with a simple solenoid].

There is a fuel lever position sensor.

And a third mystery device.

There's also an actuator connected to the intake manifold by a pressure hose; this is mechanical and obvious.

Mitsubishi Portugal went bankrupt last year; all the dealerships here were closed, and the experienced mechanics dispersed. Maintenance and sales are now resumed by other shops [Nissan dealers, etc.], but they don't seem to know much more than I do about the older Mitsubishis.

hi i have just got a carisma and now the heater fans in the car have stopped blowing, at the same time the heated rear window and also the sunroof all stopped working, i have checked the fuse and they are all fine so i have been told its possibly the relay. is that correct and if so which and were are the relays located that i would need to replace?

many thanks in advance

Hi:

My car is a Mitsubishi Carisma GDI (model 1998). Some days ago I have been listening a clicking noise that comes from the control climate console. It sounds like "clack, clack, clack..." It sounds only for 30 seconds or so and then it stops. Usually it sounds when I touch any climate control to reduce the temperature. First I was thinking that it could be produced by any damper electric motor which opens the mix or the outlet air changeover but sometimes it also sounds when the climate is not working. For this reason now I think that it could be any electrical relay that is misworking. It could be also the blower motor but it is strange because sometimes it sounds when climate is not used.

Any clues will be welcome.

Best regads

hi all
hope someone can help with my problem

i have a 1998 carisma GDI which was running fine when i bought it.after having the car for about 8 months(quite a lot of long journeys during this time without problems), it started it playing up. the ride was not as smooth as it used to be . It was not pulling when the gas paddle is pressed.Sometimes you could step on the accelerator and nothing happens. the car will not rev or respond. Plugs were changed, fuel pump and fuel filter were also replaced , still there were judders, shakes, and just NOT smooth.

After these changes,i was travelling and drove for about 2 hours, when the engine went off by it self. It would not start until I left it for about 1 hour , then it started. From then on, i can only drive the car for about 30,50, 60 minuets and the engine will cut off . Leave the car for some time and it starts again.

The AIR FLOW METER has been changed as well. CRANK SENSOR ALSO CHANGED.

am still having the same problems with it. has anyone had similar problems and if so what was the cause? can anyone help,as a few mechanics have had a look and the problem is still there.

many thanks in advance.

Hi im after bit help trying to solve a power issue i own a 99 carisma gdi hatchback during normal driving my car looses power for
few seconds then power resumes i have checked egr valve looks preety clean with light coating carbon the valve moves freely
i have also checked the throttlebody same very light build up mostly clean car. doesnt smoke no error codes
tappets little noisy but quits down on a good run i checked the breather pipes to throttlebody they are clear
the car got new sparkplugs the proper sort for this car.
i cannot think what else could be causing this what ever it is the ecu dont seem to be detecting it
which is bit of a pain any advice i would appreciate it.

Hi,

I've currently got a 2003 plate 1.6 Mitsubishi Carisma. Although it is running well I was wondering if someone could satisfy my curiosity by telling me why the car beeps when it is cold? By beeping I mean two pairs of short beeps (4 in total) that happen when it's cold i.e. when the outside temperature is showing as 3 degrees or less?

It doesn't seem to affect the running of the car but I just wanted to check that it's not warning me of a problem?

Many thanks in advance

My 1968 -1600 engine don't wont to move each morning . it starts o.k , but then when I start driving , the engine goes off. I also feel there is no power like it had before. but after about 5 or 10 minutes when the engine is warm - then everything returns to normal.
Maybe someone on this forum experinced these behaviour?

Does anyone know where ( apart from a main dealer) i can get a remote key fob? Is the fob for this model just a fob or can a key be integrated?
Any help will be appreciated

hello all, on my mitsi space star 2003 (UK version of carisma app') the rev counter & coolant gauge do not work I have tried cleaning contacts but it still doesnt work any ideas how to fix this also on this forum I read this.....The Power Transistor sends the TACH signal to the PCM and instrument cluster. It also controls the firing of the ignition coils on this distributorless ignition system. A malfunction with it can cause it not to send a TACH signal and also cause a stumble/misfire. any one got any idea where this power transitor lives???????

I have recently installed a new cd player( not mitsubishi; kenwood) (iso) and have lost a lot of features on the dashboard display, eg. Fuel consumption, Temperature etc. Is there a way to rewire or have an adaptor to view this info. Also it is not possible to get a reading from the engine diagnostic management sysytem, via the connector in the passeneger footwell. Is this connected in some way to the radio wiring loom?
Any help will be appreciated.

I am having some problems with the idle on my Carisma 1.8 GLS from 1997. I have tried to replace almost everything on the car but the ECU keeps lowering the idle. When the engine is warm (operating temperature), the idle drops to about 600 RPM. The engine does not idle roughly but it keeps idling low which is a problem when trying to use electrical equipment. If I try to close one of the windows using the electrical switch, the idle drops to 150-200 RPM when the window seals itself. Once sealed, the idle increases to 600 RPM again.

Many would simply argue that the idle engine (the step motor) is the culprit. However, once I reset the ECU, the idle stays at 800 RPM for a while but reverts back to the 600 RPM at some point. The same happens if I adjust the SAS screw (not fixed SAS) which results in 800 RPM for a while before it drops to 600 RPM again. Sometimes when it rains and the rain is like dust, the car starts to idle at the proper 800 RPM.

My question is: Can the MAF be the problem? I know what it does but can it really cause low idle when the engine seems otherwise fine?

When the engine is running and im stationary I can smell petrol - yet there are no leaks and the fuel guage is as normal. Any ideas? 1997 1.8 auto glxi

Help! my 1997 1.8 carisma engine light is on.. anyone know a way to read it without a reader (old vauxhalls you used a paper clip)

Heres what happenes. I start the car and on tick over it just dies. When driving if i floor it it dies..

I have previously snapped the key but it has worked fine for a good 8months..

Has anyone experienced this problem ?

The car starts fine - first time and idles around 700rpm.

When you press the accelerator the car revs to 1500 rpm but won't go above this.

After it warms up the car runs Ok but is hesitant when in traffic. If travelling in a queue of vehicles at about 30 and they all pull away then when the accelerator is pressed nothing happens just a very gradual build of speed.

Hills are a no-no when the car is cold but no problem after it warms up.


Any ideas what to look for, or what could cause this issue ? Comments please ?

Hello,

I opened an old EGR Valve. Picture enclosed.
Can anyone tell me what type of sensor is, or might be in this valve. The sensor is used to tell of the valve is open or shut. I don't think it can tell the actual position of the valve (a little bit open, more open etc etc) though I might be wrong.
There is nothing to be seen be putting on Ohm meter to either of the three pins associated with the sensor. I also put an ac generator (sin wave signal generator) to the pins hopeing to see some output or other as I placed the plunger (iron) close to the sensor but there was no noticable output. The sensor may of course be broke.
The sensor is the small cylindrical thing which has the green box+arrow pointing to it.
It is made from some sort of ceramic or hard plastic on the outside. I could break it open but it is too small and I probably will not see anything meaningful

Anyone any ideas? Or where might I ask. I could try some of the Renault forums as some Renaults use the same engine.

Cheers.
JC

I just bought a used Mitsubishi carisma with about 137,000 mileage on it and there seems to be some issues i do like you knowledgeable guys to help me with. Note that this is the first ride am buying
Meanwhile this is my first post here and i want to see the forum has been educative and enlighting.

First and Foremost, What i believe to be my My check engine light indicator (Helicopter in flight amber light ) came on the very first day i picked up. i have got a mechanic to change the engine oil and the oil filter yesterday but the light is still on.
Pls what do i do about this now.

Also the car does this serious forward jerk when you begin to accelerate it. what could be causing this and solution pls

Also how do i see the exact year model of the car cause i do like to get a manual of the car. so where on the car body can i see this.

when i drove the car around after the engine oil has been changed, i kept hearing this wheezing sound like sandy gritty sound from the engine.
what can this be and what do i do about it.

Will it be possible to get a new car key as the one that the dealer gave me is almost broken. also whatz the best Transmission oil to use to top up the gear oil.

I dont really have or know mechanics i can trust to service or look at the car since am a novice here

Thanks all as i expect your good advice on these
