hi,

i ve had a mitsubishi colt 1.5 diesel (58 plate) for about 8 months and it has been vibrating in the cabin and also the steering feels like it isn't connected to the road, amd i being paranoid or is it a characteristic of the car?

Is there anyone who is familiar with the "ARMSTER" armrest for Colt CZ ?
And What is your opinion about it ?

Ok well hello to you all...

I have just bought a brand new Colt and Im looking for some inspiration with the stereo system.

I would like to upgrade the existing system to an MP3 player, either by completly replacing the CD head unit for an MP3 player or by adding an MP3 changer to the existing head unit.

The only problem is that I would still like to be able to use the stereo's steering column controls and the cars centre display console. I know that normally you can buy modulators to enable a person to continue using these functions, however I am having problems finding anything for the Colt.

Can anyone help with a friendly point in the right direction????

thanks

Today I got the adaptor from Mitsu (MME31490
) to have AUX in.

But in fact you don't need the adaptor, just need to know the pins.





Lower row of pins in the plug are from left to right: ground, right, left =black, red, yellow.

Does someone know how to remove and replace the rear speakers of a Colt CZ3 (3 doors model) ?
Do i have to remove the whole plastic cover ?
I want to put some Pioneer speakers in the car.

Hello,
How straight forward is it to change the front speakers of my 3-door CZ1 Colt, and can it be done without breaking anything?!

Thanks,
Dave

I own a colt cz3 (2005) for 2 weeks now.
I have noticed that the steering wheel "sticks" in the position that you have at that moment.
So when i make a long corner and than straight on, it doesn't go to the neutral position very supple.
Is this typical for the Colt or not ?

I'm not pleased with the stock lights and want to install HID 35W 4300-6000K kit on my Colt 2007. Anyone did this? Please feel free to give me a piece of advice.

Hi,

Got a weird wiper problem.

They started making a "dry screen" type of scraping noise,
but it also continues when wipers are pulled away from the screen.

Tried wd40 round the bushes and no change.
Doesn't sound metallic at all.

Could this be my motor on the way out, do I pop it into a local dealer?

Thanks
Martin

Hi all!
Just got myself a lovely '55 plate, 32000 mile Colt CZT in Ice Blue.
Anything you would suggest looking out for with ownership?
Just come off the back of owning an MG TF so i'm hoping for slightly better reliability!

Mitsubishi has confirmed that the new small car it will introduce to North America next year is the Colt. Currently the Colt is in its 7th generation overseas, with some of the past iterations having been sold in North America as Mitsubishis, Dodges, Plymouths and Eagles.

Mitsubishi, it seems, will be one of the last automakers to re-enter the sub-compact market in the U.S., with both Ford and Mazda having just debuted their new (respective), Fiesta and Mazda2 models at the LA Auto Show. Currently the market is already dominated by cars like the Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit and Nissan Versa.

Overseas the Colt comes with many different engines, with a 104-hp 1.5-liter four-cylinder a likely candidate for North America – although even that seems underpowered. Some special edition Ralliart models have, however, produced in excess of 150-hp.

Now we're just waiting for Suzuki to bring back the Swift as VW takes its time getting the Polo to U.S. shores.

I am about to buy a new colt CZ2 1.3 3door 2009. I just had a few questions about it.

1. It says it has keyless entry. What does that actually mean? Is it just there way of saying remote central locking or are there no keyholes on the doors to open it with the keys?

2. Are there any problems that people have found with the 1.3 engine/gearbox etc?

3. Is it easy to change the head unit to a different aftermarket one and does this disable any of the features?

4. Any other general info about the car.

Thankyou for taking the time to read this and hopefully it'll give me some useful information :-)

After an annoying crash i'm having to break my cz3, salvage offered me silly price, so i'm going to break it to try make some money back on it.

Its got the following parts
-Full leather CZT seats
-16" alloys
-rear window colt blinds
-CZT mats
-underseat drawer

Its has damage to the bonnet, h/light, bumper, both wings, and n/s door.

I'll get some pics up asap, feel free to PM me asking for any parts/prices and more detailed pics

Thanks guys, Ste

well after nearly 12 months of owning my czc its time to say goodbye, ive had many faults with the car and all seem to have in the end been fixed its a great little car and is good fun wjen your topless
ive experineced most of the common problems and some of the less common too!!! so i have a fix for most things, having had spacestar before i have now decided to go for a brand new lancer in black which i hope to get very soon so ill still be poking around the froums for a while to come, if you need to know anything about your czc shot up a post and ill help out if i can.

common faults on the czc which ive come across are......

leaky roof
poor roof seals
windows that go up and down when trying to close
boot opens for no reason
squeaky windows
engine hunting
crunching on reverse
noisy display
central door locking
steamy headlamps
drifting to left

all of these have been fixed and are now fully correct!! my little czc has done only 2408 miles so the next owner should be well happy with her and its got the exclusive chrome hoops behind the rear seat as well as the full chrome trim inside.

well im off to read my lancer brochure agaun for the 100th time!!!!!
hope you all enjoy your colts

Bought my new Colt 1.1 3 door in black last Friday. VERY impressed so far, but for one thing.

Now I don't know if I'm just being paranoid, or if this annoying sound actually sounds louder than it is because I'm thinking of it, but there is a constant high-pitched monotonous buzz sound coming from my central display (with the clock and radio/cd display) as soon as I turn the key and the clock comes on, before I even start the engine.

And this buzz is sooooo annoying. Although it is at quite a low volume, it is very high pitched and although it is mostly drowned out when I have the radio or a CD on, a change in track or some dead air on the radio makes this ear-terrifying sound creep through and I am beginning to hate driving!

It is really starting to do my head in.

Has anybody got any suggestions before I take it back to the dealers?

Thanks

Hi,

I have just found the 185 hp kit (Bonalume) but no other.

Hi everyone, I have a urban silver czc2 colt carbrio, the bumper inserts are a different colour and need spraying but i can't find a paint code for these. Mitsubishi say their is no code but there must be as this is a factoryn colour. Help!!!!!

I had a flat tyre last week and put the spare on but as luck would have it cross threaded one of the stud bolts. I have been looking for for a spare everywhere with no luck. It seems that Mitsubishi only produce the entire hub which will cost around £140 !!

Could anyone please tell me where I could purchase a bolt or if there is anyone out there who has a spare that I could buy. I really would appreciate it.

THANKS

Hi everyone. Actually its my dad's car. its a 1.1 colt mirage, 2006. Been giving it a good clean in and out whilst he is on holiday.

To the point -

The car wont start, turn the ignition and it just makes a clicking sound. The immobiliser light is displayed on the screen, but not all the time.

i have had the radio running for hours on end i must admit, but not longer than i would have done in my own car, which ive done before with no problems.

Anyways, tried jumping it today and i honestly dont think its the battery. And the head lights dont seem dim enough either.

Now i cannot find the spare key for some reason. i figured it might be a problem with the key after reading the manual, but i dont know where hes put it so i guess for the next 2 weeks that option is out of the window.

Would apreciate help or advice, hope to hear from someone soon !

Thanks, Mike.

I just wanted to get everyones opinion on the new Colt Convertible that is currently on the market at £10000 in the U.k?

As i have only seen pictures, what does everyone think about it? Would you call it a guy or girls car or both?

Hi there!

I live in Cairo, Egypt, and I'm buying a new 2007 Mitsubishi Colt next week (yes, the local Mitsubishi agent still has an inventory from 2007 for that model) but unfortunately all Colts sold here come with no radio/CD and the local agent doesn't provide it as an option either (they only have those for Lancers ). So my question now is, can I buy one online and have it shipped to Egypt? Does anybody know of an online shop that carries those radios? I want the stock radio in order not to mess with the original dashboard appearance

Cheers,

Hello.

This is the first post that I write here, and I´m very happy to know that there is a place where colt owners of all arround the world could talk abaut our little mitsu

This time I´m going to talk abaut the electronic hidden menu that we are tryin´ to discover in our spanish mistubishi forum (http://www.forosgratuitos.com/index.php?mforum=mitsubishi )

As you well know, we´ve got a LCD screen where we can see the temperature, the hour, and the instant consumption. But there´s a hidden menu over the colt computer, where we can changed some funcions that will show us different data information over this LCD screen.

For example, having the engine key in OFF position, press the A button (in the up right side of the screen) and hold it during you change the engine key to ON position. If you have done it right, you will be able to change the instant consumption choice to a velocity average or a km number that remain you to put more gas on the tank.

We think that there´s a lot of more tricks over this "cz3 inside computer" that we don´t know yet, but tryin´ I´m sure that we´ll discover many interesting things.

Best Regards.

Hi all,

I have successfully tuned the Original ECU of the Colt Turbo Version R. I would like to share the result of the tune.

hi
im looking to buy the orange gear knob for my czc however its not available in the uk would anybody please see if its available in their country and at what cost i would of course send payment before you buy it,
thanks

I have Colt CZ1 and it needs 8L/100Km... It's a lot for 1.1l engine, don't you think so? What about your cars?

hi, i'm new here and I would like to know if anybody else has problems getting into reverse gear.
The car is a new (6 months) cz3 1.3 and i've took it back to the garage (brindleys A5 staffordshire) and they say it's a common fault and I should first put it into 1st gear then into reverse gear otherwise the gearbox "crunches"
is this true is it a common fault and i'm being too fussy over a new car?

"Mitsubishi will unveil at Frankfurt Motor Show the 2008 Colt, best-seller status for Mitsubishi Motors in the region. Since Mitsubishi launched the Colt, in 2004 there were 205,561 cars (3-door, 5-door and coupe-cabriolet included) sold. New Colt has successfully re-established the “Colt” nameplate in many a major European market, like Italy (9,122 units for CY2006 / + 8% in Europe’s largest B-segment market) or Germany (20,129 sales for CY2006 where it commands a 3.5% market share in the segment)..."

Here's a new review on the 2008 Mitsubishi Colt, with information on its features, design and performance.

Hi Guys 'n' Gals.

I have purchased a Smart Brabus Forfour (yes i know a mitsubishi in a different look) but i have questions on 'Full Induction Kits'.

I have already found a tuner which will up me from 177PS to 200PS in germany, but i want to add a decent induction kit to make it breath even better.

Love the look of the new Green Induction Twister Kit, But I dont think the application will work.

Let me know what fits as of today and i will have a look, any pics would be a bonus????????

I shall be lowering with K&W suspension.

Hello
I just bought a mits colt 1.1 (06 reg) after months of problems with my other car, I wanted something reliable and problem free. I bought it from Mits dealers. when i test drove it i noticed a rattle in rear (high up). i mentioned this to dealer and he promised to get it sorted. when i picked it up a few days later it appeared ok and ipaid. He told me he didnt know what the problem had been and that the service bloke was on his break which made me uneasy. A few days later the problem returned. I took it back and the mechanic told me he had thought it was the rear seats. On inspection he said it was to do with the tailgate (loose clips maybe?) and that he had done something but if that didnt fix it he would have to replace the panel? Anyway it didnt sort it and its worse than ever and driving me crazy. I now feel sick when iget in the car because its stress i didnt need. they have ordered a part to sort it but i dont think i can drive it anymore and may drop it off tomorrow and ask for a courtesy car

Aside from this its difficult to get into 1st gear and often crunches in reverse ( ive read on the site about this) which i didnt notice when i bought it

And to top it off although they promise they have serviced it and has FSH etc the service book didnt come withit. The salesmanassured me its because it didnt come with it and they have ordered a duplicate from Mitsbuishi or something but its been five days and still no sign

im very stressed and thoroughly p'd off, i will never buy a car alone again.

Anyone had similar issues re rattle and service book or am i just a total dork

please be gentle with comments iveposted on sites before and been faced with unneccessary abuse

Miss S

Hi
Help wanted. I live in Turkey and drive a Colt 1.3 2005 model. My problem is this. I can move the rear seats fully forward and and fold the back rests down but I can't roll the seat forward. I gave tried the lever at the back of the seat but no joy.
My Turkish is hopeless and the dealer is 3 hours away. I really need to lift these seats so I can remove the carpet at the back to clean off an olive oil spillage.Any help will be most appreciated.

[attachmentid=4690]i have owned quite a few mitsubishis over the last few yeasr and mostly space stars, now that the space star has been discontinued ive been looking around for a new car as mines nearly 3 years old.

after my space star went in for service i was given a colt for loan car but wasnt too impressed as it was a small tiny 3 door with a small engine so i decided to look at the lancer but i didnt like it!!

whilst dropping off the loan car i spotted a czc in the showroom and went for a look and the sales team took me for a test drive with the roof down and it wasnt too hot neither

any how to cut a long story short i will be picking up my new czc next week in oriental orange with orange trim

the dealer was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and the whole experience was fantastic so i hope i dont get my knucles wrapped for mentioning them on here


only 6 days to go!!!!!!!

is it possible to get a chip to increase the bhp in this car and if so will it effect the clutch and make it slip? Is it easy to install and will it effect the warranty??

Ive seen this car on autotrader and the Mitsubishi used car website and I quite like the side skirt vinyl. I was wondering if this is a custom vinyl or mitsubishi supplied. Does anyone know where I can get it?

i have a cz3 di-d

i want to lower it, fit adapters from current wheel config to 4 x 100 or 5x100 and have it remapped with a induction kit and a exhaust.

why is it so difficult to find ANY mod for these cars???? can anyone help me out with a british link for any of the above points...


thanks 2 anyone who replys!

hi i just bought a colt czt and i am very happy for my selection

What is it ?

Thanks

I own a colt czt and i find the ride rather disappointing.The suspension is too stiff.I would appreciate if anyone could suggest a set of shocks that will improve the ride comfort of my car.THANX

Hi everbody,

I have just bought a colt CZT. What kind of engine oil should I use?

They have told me to change the oil every 5.000 km !! (10/40W)

I can't get the point.

Is there anybody to suggest upon that?

i have a 2005 european colt and the dashboard always ratling. did any one has Structure manual?or any one with this proplem?

Hello everybody,
I have a Colt Cz3 1.3 invite SR for 3 month and I have a problem with a noise which comes from rear seat. After some effort to find out what occurs this noise, I discover that this noise comes from right rear seat-belt when I go over a bump.
Have anyone this problem?
Additionally, when the car accelerates slowly I have a different noise from the same place. The same noise appears just little before the car stops.

Greetings to all, from a newbie. I have just purchased a 2006 CZ3 DID ex demo. I am assured that there is an alarm fitted, as a dealer fitted option. Short of trying to break into the car is there a way I can tell if it has been fitted, there does not appear to be any flashing indicator that I am used to on previous vehicles, although as this is my first Mitsubishi I cant compare.
Many thanks for any help, regards, Richard

Hi there.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with what I suspect is a silly query. I've just bought a Colt 1.3 (05 plate) and when I get in and turn the ignition there is a beeping noise for a few seconds (sounds like it's coming from the dashboard somewhere) then stops.

I don't think it does it everytime I start the car (but I'm not sure), and was wondering if anyone knew where the beep might be from. I wondered if it was something to do with the immobiliser or maybe went off if the door was open etc. but I'm a bit worried in case it's something important.

Thanks for advice in advance, to what I hope is a silly question!


Great forum BTW.
