Hi there, Just wondering what sort of mileage people have up on their Carimas?
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?

I have bought v2.5 and a cable from EvoScan to identify the DTCs for a recurring engine warning light on my 02 1900 DI-D.

It seems I am not connecting to the EFI ECU but when I try the ABS ECU I connect OK.

Can anyone give me any tips while I wait for a reply from EvoScan.

Front coil spring snapped today does anybody have any idea how much this will
cost to replace. I`ve been advised to get them both done at the same time.
Do you think it will be possible to do myself?

My 2001 1.8 GDI has lately started to cut out immediately after starting the engine.

The engine will fire and run for only a second or two and then cuts out, and at the same time of the cutout there is a click (sounds like a relay) from beneath the dashboard left hand side.

After a few further attempts at starting the car runs fine, and once running keeps going with no...

Hi, my 1999 1.9gdi glx automatic has, on a three occasions in the past two weeks, slipped out of gear for a second or so and then gone back into gear with a bit of a jolt. it seems to happen in response to acceleration (though this can be from a standing start as i was doing a three point turn on one occasion). for that second where it has not changed into the next gear, it revs as it would if i...

Hello,

I am looking for an owners manual for my Carisma 2002 (UK) DiD. There is a figure showing up on the dash LCD which is 44km/h (it used to read lower at about 38km/h) What is this figure trying to tell me.
There is also a symboy consisting of a circle with a stroke through it?

TIA

Hi all!

Like so many others my European 2001 GDI (4G93 Engine) went bad in the idle, erratic/uneven when cold until engine was like that even when warm and then loosed all power. Yada, yada, yada.

So I went to Google and spent quite some time coming up with possible solutions, almost all says "clean throttle body".

Away it went (how to , from ):

Hi all,
Does anyone know if this model/engine will be ok to run biodiesel?

Other than replacing the fuel filters more regularly and after the first 100 miles or so, are there any other parts that will need replacing routinely?

Any help is appreciated,

Which grade oil should I be using in my car and does anyone know how much it should take to fill appropriately? I'm hoping to do an oil change this coming weekend.

Hi, My Mit Carisma (Equippe, GDI, 1834cc, 2001, Auto) was running fine until last Sunday when this problem cropped up. I was trying to reverse the car over a pot-hole and suddenly the throttle response went off and the engine went to high revs. The diagnostic icon in the dash started flashing. The RAC man hooked it up to his computer but couldn't identify a fault code. He wrote in his report...

We need to replace the power steering pump for our 1.9L diesel Carisma model 1997.

The original one is difficult to obtain here in Sweden, and quite expensive.

I wonder if there is somebody on the forum with the experience on whether the pump for some other car/model is the same as this one and can be replaced instead.

In particular, I have in mind the Renaul...

Passengers in the back of my carisma complain that the seat belts seem to tighten up on their own, to such a point that they have to be released by pressing the red release button. Does anyone have any experience of this and is there a solution e.g. can the tension be reduced.

Hello, I have problem with my mitsubishi carisma 1.8 GDI 1998. The engine is shaking strongly and the car has some black smokes going from exhaust silencer. Anyone has an idea what might be wrong with it?

Hi all I've read a few posts that sound similar to my issue but all seem slightly different - hopefully someone here can help to save me a few quid in repairs.

What happens in my case is I could be driving along and out of the blue the engine management warning light (the amber one with a picture of an engine on it) will illuminate followed by a sudden drop in engine power. (If i...

Hi

I have a Mitsubishi Carisma Equippe 1.9 DI-D (2003) and have just been told via a quick diagnostic check by a dealer that I have an air flow sensor problem.

I have a 2002 Carisma. A fantastic car, unfortunately the display (clock, outside temp, miles per gallon etc) is now blank and my factory fitted CD player/radio (although works) cannot be controlled. It will play a CD without being able to skip tracks and the radio works on only one station! The radio also fails to illuminate when on. Garage told me I need new display at £420.00 plus fitting,...

I have a 2000 Carisma 1.8 GDi and my console display is simply showing the word 'LOCK' following the battery going flat. The radio works OK but of course there is no display of which station you are tuned to and no clock etc. I'm struggling to tell night from day without the clock!! Any idea how to recalibrate this/unlock the display without paying the dealer?

I recently bought a 2001 Carisma 1.8 GDI which had the throttle body repaired back at the end of May this year. However, the rev's were high and it was idling at around 1400 and when changing gear the rev's would go up to around 2500 and the engine was revving 'like I had put my foot on the accelerator when changing gear'.

So, my step dad had a look at it and said just...

Hi all,

My drivers side headlight has condensation build up inside of it. Anyone know how to remove the headlight or does anyone have a guide on how to do this?

Hi people! I have a 1996 Carisma 1.6 GL Auto with 82,000 miles on the clock. The car seems to like drinking fuel, returning about 20 miles per gallon! I have checked the air filter and it seems clean enough, there are no obvious fuel leaks although I can sometimes smell petrol in hot weather? The fuel guage warning lamp comes on and off intermittently too! The engine runs fine...

Hi all,
Looking at using Bio Fuel. Have any of you tried this in an 03 Carisma DI-D.

Ive been trying find the make of Fuel Pump on the car but have sadly failed. Reports Ive been reading say that the LUCAS pump is particularly UN-resilient to bio fuel at anything but normal working temperatures. So Im trying to make sure I dont have a LUCAS pump.

Hope you can help.

Hi All,

Does anyone know if in theory it would be possible to modify the circuit that operates the fuel gauge so that it works when the ignition is in the ACC position and onwards?

The reason I ask is that the gauage on my 2003 Mitsubishi Carisma diesel constantly shows the level of fuel and I'm being a bit paranoid what with fuel prices being in the media spotlight, that...
