OE Replacement Cabin Air Filter Part No: MR398288

^J^

2004 Mitsubishi Outlander XLS AWD (234186Kms) Just lately my daugther kneed my glove compartement and broke the latch. Do not panic. Here is how you can open the glove box without breaking anything. Picture #1 Broken latch: When you lift this latch you will see a slit approximately 1mm by 5mm picture #2. Insert jewellers screw driver pointing strait up even if picture shows at angle; picture #3 then pull screwdriver handle towards you; picture #4 and then open sesame;picture #5. (MR979806)Brown replacement latch but in my case (MR639803) charcoal gray replacement latch (12.46$). Two #0 Philips trust head screws hold the latch in place (last picture). Hope this helps for later problems.

Anyone need this? Mitsubishi Outlander Workshop Manual

I have a 2003 Outlander and was wondering what tool and part number so I can remove the crank GEAR and replace the counter balance shaft belt. Thanks for the help

I would like to put a hitch on my 06 Outlander just for a bike rack. I see both Curt and U-Haul hitches on eBay and I wonder if anyone has any experience with either. I won't be wiring it.

Also, I called a local hitch shop and the person told me I should get the highest class hitch as a bike rack puts more stress on the hitch than a trailer. I'm not sure if I believe that.

2004 Outlander XLS AWD 186000Kms.....Lately when I would release the accelerator and reapply pressure on the pedal, I would hear a thumping noise. Turns out the front supports for the rear differential were beat all to hell. Here is a picture of a new one, the one on the passengers side (Right MR961408, Left MR961407). Bracket was 84$ each plus taxes. You should also replace top and bottom stops at the same time( All 4 stops about 15$). Items 9,10,11 in exploded view. I will post a picture of the destroyed ones when I replace it after snow storm ends. Both bushings are broken. Front wheel drive Outlanders will not have this problem. It took me 15 minutes to change both.

Hi, I'm hoping for some advice on my new 2006 Outlander. It came with snow tires installed and four brand new P225/60R16 all season tires. The only problem is that each of the all seasons is different. I have a Echelon Telstar Premium 97T, a Remington 97S, a Bridgestone Insignia 97T, and a Michelin Symmetry 97S. I'm guessing the speed rating is close enough for these to work but I am concerned about putting the tires on because I read that AWD vehicles are particularly sensitive to tire differences. My thinking is to buy three tires to match one of these and I assume the Michelin is the best of the bunch. But I would love to hear other thoughts.

Thanks,

Rick

I have a dual fuel Outlander. It is the standard 2.4 engine built in 2004. The engine runs fine when running on conventional petrol but when I switch to LPG it does not run smoothly and is using a lot of LPG gas. I have changed the spark plugs for the correct ones but this does not make any difference. Thanks in advance for any help.

Just thought I would post a pic of my latest mod on my 2006 Outy. Just some cheap aluminium from ebay & some careful cutting plus abit of hot gun glue to hold in place on the top section & just cable ties on the lower piece.

A cheap mod if you like that sort of thing + a good protector of the lower part of the rad which was wide open to damage.

Hi,

Can anyone show me where I jack the Outlander up using a trolley jack rather than the one that comes with the car. I need to jack up the front of the car then fit Axel stands on either side so I can work on both the brakes so I need to know where I put the stands as well as where to rest the lifting point of me jack.

Any info would be helpful & a picture would be fantastic because I am not so hot on any tec terms as Outy knows.

Thanks all

Although my trans fluid is still a nice red at 55,000 miles, I'm going to do a drain/fill. Is the SPIII sold in liters or quarts? How many will I need? I imagine that dealership would have replacement crush washers as well?

Thanks!

Ordered a new set of headlights, specific to 03 - 04, and they are and have been, "on order".
My question is will the headlights from 05 bolt in and connect to the existing harness?
The newer headlights may be easier to come by, and if I have read things properly, the newer ones have addressed the cracking lens problem, although, with my Outlander, I can't fault the design for ALL the cracks. Headlights and impacts just don't mix.

They seem to be really expensive? Was wondering what others are using for replacement?

Thanks

When I bought the vehicle the previous owner let the hood chip away at some of the paint, probably a mixture of following too close combined with not having the bug shield thing to take the impact of most of the rocks. I was considering having the hood repainted at the same time as getting some other damage repaired that involved gently scrapping a guardrail at 100kph while dodging a deer.

Instead of simply repairing all of the paint chips on the hood, I had been considering swapping out the hood if there are any options out there. The only variant hood I have come across is the turbo's hood from Europe assuming it with also fit the North American models, which I don't really want to bother to ship. I know the repaint is cheaper and will probably be what I do but I like to explore my options, and I can use this an an excuse to tweak the Outlander a bit more.

Parts are definitely more of a challenge for a vehicle like this.

I did the brakes on my 04 Outlander today. It was fun and easy. There is a right and a left rotor. I also added a 1" wheel spacer to widen the track. Painted caliper bracket with alumniblast and the caliper with lastblast. Rotor was already powder coated silver.

Recently got an Outlander, see sig, and a PO apparently kept the owners manual as a keepsake. I did a search, and checked the posted shop manual for the spec, and the 1993 version calls for 10W-30 for general use, need to know if this is correct. The engine in the manual shows a distributor and the intake manifold on the opposite side of the head than mine, and would like to know if the specs changed when the design was altered.
Thanx.

Because existing sources of auto reliability information left much to be desired, in late 2005 I started conducting my own reliability research at TrueDelta.com. TrueDelta reports absolute stats like "trips to the shop" that make the differences between cars much clearer. Results are updated four times a year, so any significant changes in a model's reliability become apparent quickly.

Participants simply report repairs the month after they occur on a one-page survey. When there are no repairs, they simply report an approximate odometer reading four times a year, at the end of each quarter.

To encourage participation, panel members will receive full access to the results for free.

For the details, and to sign up to help out:

I changed the end-links on my front sway bar it helped but I was still getting that clunk-clunk noise whenever I would go over the slightess little bump so today I decided to change the front saddle bushings(OEM Part # MN100250) on the swaybar. Only one bolt (front driver side) was hard to get at because of a power streering hose that runs just above the head forcing me to use a box wrench instead of a ratchet. My Outlander now rides like a new one and it only cost me 20$ and one hour. Finally I can bring the radio volume control down a knotch......
Went for a long ride today it was so pleasant not hearing that klunk klunk. Believe me it is worth it.....

Good day all,

Interested in locating intake manifold from 03 or 04 U.S. Mitsubishi Outlander with 2.4L SOHC 16V I-4 non MIVIC engine. Your time is appreciated. Thank you!

Hi all,

During my 72000km service the dealer noticed that my drivers side rear wheel has some play (you can wiggle it very slightly). His recommended fix was to replace both drivers and passengers side upper control arms in the rear suspension. His quote was $700. The warranty on that part expired at 60000km. This ticked me off a bit. I'm sure the problem was diagnosable at 60000km when I went in for my service. They just waited until now so that they can bill me.

I jacked the car up and it looks to me like just the bushing is worn out. Thats clearly where the linkage is moving around. So my question is: How hard is it to replace the upper control arm bushing?

I've notice a few yellow spots in the snow under the engine area of the car. My coolant is green. Any ideas? I've seen this at home and at my office. I do not see anything dripping. It is the color of urine.
Washer fluid is blue.
Thanks!

I have been looking around for grill insert for the bottom open area on the Outlander. More so to protect the bottom of the rad since there is nothing protecting the bottom. I found a cheaper Mr Grille on eBay, they are not perfect however for the price will work well. It will be a while before I get it put in place and will provide pictures then.

Could anyone tell me where the cabin filter is on the UK Outlander 05 with 4g69 engine. Cheers.

Just about to change the axel oil, will I break it?
Managed the tappets anyway. First time since I had a Cortina.

Do any of these actually produce power gains? Most of the feedbacks state that they do, however, have yet to see feedback from the outlander. Do they reconfigure the air\fuel ratio's? I know they change feedback to the computer, but aren't sure exactly what happens. Anyone have one?

As i was talking to my friends, it seems all the cars have chassis number ( VIN # ) in hidden places. except the number we all see under the hood in front.
Since i scrap 4 outlanders untill now, I never saw any hidden, vin number. anyone have any ideea where it could be located this 2nd , 3rd chassis number ?
thanks

Guys,

there is a late 2006 Outlander Turbo located in eastern Slovakia, city of Michalovce. In case you think you can use some of parts which did not got lost in the forrest where this car crashed, just PM me. Providing CAPS part product number will be most effective. I am able to ask people for pricing. The price will be puzzled from the cost for de-mounting, shipping if requested (Europe only) and the part price itself. Front of the car and tail are completelly gone. Front radiator's fans are available, but not checked for function. On the other hand, the interior is almost untouched, seats and door windows available etc. See pictures.

[attachmentid=7921] [attachmentid=7923]

This is a nice crash test view as well. Let me tell you that the driver was driving to the dealer for winter tyres. On those shitty Geolandar G035 (this season is the last one I tolerate them). It was late November 2007 and roads were slippy and wet. The driver underrated a long and fast 60-70 degrees curve and in about 130 kmh he left the road in slow spin. First impact in the ditch to the tail, then after "sailing over" to the other side of the road front of the car crashed in opposite ditch. The 55 years old driver had just small scratches on face and hands. Good protection, quite high safety level I think.

My outlander has been running better recently, the markings for the timing belt were off, resulting in no o/d & lack of power, but that problems been fixed. Just had inner tie rods replaces, and car aligned. It still vears slightly right.

So today, my 2003 153,xxx miles outlander has been running low idle, around 500rpm. If stopped more than 5 seconds without touching the gas, it stalls. Shifting from 1-3 is all kinds of trouble, with much hesitation often in 1st and 2nd. And if I go into reverse, the car stalls quicker than drive.

I added fuel injector cleaner, hoping it might remedy the problem, but highly doubt I have such luck. Any reason for the low idle out of the blue?

Any guesses? Thanks, Mike

Hi

Can anyone please let me know if the 2002 Airtrek has a cabin filter? I have opened the glovebox and cannot see any screws to remove.Looks like a sealed unit?

Thanks.

My lighter socket has become detached from the cable/wire inside the dash. I use the lighter socket for pluging in my GPS. THe unit has come right out and i can see the connector inside the dash. The problem is i cant attach the wire because i put in the lighter i can't see the connector?

what to do?

Do i have to take the whole dash plate off to get to the wires? Any ideas good people?

thanks

I just bought a 2003 Outlander and ordered an extra keyless entry remote. It took me a bit of research, but I was able to find free instructions and wanted to share them since most of the directions I found were unclear or incomplete. Since I'm a noob I didn't know what the DLC was and where to find it so I've tried to dumb up the instructions a bit.

1. Locate the data link connector under the steering wheel (slightly to the right of the steering wheel under the dash). There are two connectors under the steering wheel. The DLC is the black one and pin 1 is the top left hole and pin 4 is the forth top hole from the right. See the attached image or visit this link to see what the DLC looks like and where the pins are. http://www.justanswer.com/view_image.aspx?..._190256_dlc.jpg

2. Insert the ignition key into the ignition. DO NOT TURN IT ON AT THIS TIME. Just put the key into the ignition.

3. Using a jumper wire (I used a paper clip), connect pin 1 of the data link connector to pin 4. I simply bent an unpainted paper clip and inserted one end in pin one and the other in pin four. Once you insert the paper clip it will stick and there is no need to hold it in place. Refer to the attached image/link under step one for the location of pin 1 and 4. You'll need a flash light to see the holes.

***** Important ***** You must do this step with all doors closed. I tried to do it with the door opened at first because its very difficult to access with the doors closed and it didn't work. I moved to the passenger seat, lifted the center console lid to create more space, and leaned from the passenger seat under the steering wheel.

4. Press the HAZARD WARNING LIGHT/SWITCH 6 times (3 on and 3 off) within 10 seconds of connecting the ground wire to terminal 1 of the DLC (data link connector).

5. If you are successful so far, the vehicle will lock and unlock all doors and liftgate once signaling that it is ready to program transmitters.

6. After the locks cycle, press a button on the first transmitter once, then press 2 more times within 10 seconds of the first press. (press it once, pause for a couple seconds, then press it again, pause for a second, press it again). This initiates the programming sequence. When complete, the door locks cycle again.

7. Repeat step 6 for up to 3 more transmitters. 4 transmitters is the maximun number of transmitters that can be programmed to the vehicle. All transmitters must be programmed within 1 minute after completing step 5 or the procedure must be restarted from the beginning.

8. Remove the jumper wire from the DLC. Remove the ignition key from the ignition. Close all doors. check operation the transmitters.

I hope this helps and isn't a repeat post!

I was looking to stick a new rear muffler on my 2006 2.4 Outy but was put off by the fact that I would need to have to buy a basic muffler then have it modified so it would fit in place of the standard one as the do not make off the shelf mufflers for this car in the UK.

My question is would it be possible to remove the original one & somehow remove some of the packing so I could achieve a slightly better sound for the engine (More sporty) & perhaps a slightly better flow out of the exhaust.

I'm not looking for it to sound like a rally car but just want a better note out of it as the 2.4 block is a lovely engine but it sounds stifled.

Any help/advice is much appreciated.

HI.

Im wondering were you guys have hooked up your boost gauges?

I have -06 OUtlander turbo.

And i want pointers on what vaccum hose to cut and put the T-pipe for the boost gauge.

Im guessing the best place would be somewere around the intake?

Can you point out a specific hose and/or evene better, a pic.

thanks

I have a mitsubishi outlander for spare parts. on request, any part can be shipped.

Hi guys,

Today I put H&R lowering springs under my Outlander Turbo. The car is very nice now with rideheight and cornering etc. but I have this weird squeeking noise coming from the top of the strut. This noise only occurs when you turn the steering wheel while standing and when you start off.

So I am afraid I did anything wrong with the install. Does anyone know what could be the problem?

Regards,

Johan

Thought I would run this past you.

I have had my 2006 2.4 Outlander since September 2009 & worked out that on average I get 21-23 mpg but since the weather has gotten very cold here in the UK over the past week or so I average 17-20 mpg.

I can't see why this is happening so do you have any suggestions ?

Thanks

Hi
I would like to change my ATF fluid on my airtrek 2002 turbo, wanted to know if it has a external filter or not and how many litres to top up again. Does anyone gave pictures of the drain plug and how to refill again. I dont have the car manual so am getting conflicting information from different people.
Thanks.

Hi again,
Just about to fit a new K & N filter in the air box but wonder what the Resonator box does on top of the air box, the thing that clamps on top of the whole box assembly.

I have looked at it for 30mins now & can't work out what it does ??

This is now driving me mad so please tell me what it does

Are the valves on the outlander adjustable, if so what is the valve lash at cylinder 1 TDC.

Thanks,
Jason

I only have 232000Kms but 5 times out of the last 6 fill-ups my Outlander would not start unless I floored it and cranked it. The first time I tought I had run out of gas and it just took a little time to reprime. But then it did it again and again and only when I refuel. I tried unscrewing gas cap for 5 minutes and putting it back on and it started fine. This is one for you expert Mitsubishi mechanics because I'm stumped. No check engine light and no codes.

So do I get Pipecross (UK) K & N or just a box standard Mitsubishi one.

Is it worth paying £68 for a K & N when Pipecross is £45 ?

Thanks

Hello

how as the title said I'm looking for Outlander turbo or Outlander 2.4 mivec ( MT = manual transmission ) ECU ! It can be a wrong unworkable one too !! I need a cheap solution only a part need from it ! If you have one lets send me a PM ;-) Thank you !

I have over 230,000Kms on my Outlander and I'm wondering about the life expectancy of a Mitsubishi alternator. My GM alternators never made it pass 125 000 kms.

2003 outlander front wheel drive

The sport shift has never worked and i used to have the PNR lights but no led display, The tranny shifted fine up and down by itself though.

Now, none of the lights light up and the speedo and odometer dont work. The odometer display comes on but does not change.
Also, the tranny seems to be stuck in Drive. It does not go into OD or downshift automatically.

I took the tranny console cover off and I see 3 loose wires (not the ones to the shifter). It looks like they used to connect right below it.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

hi to all,i'm new to this forum and i like to do things by myself on my cars whenever possible due to the rip offs of the mechanics,(if you know what i mean) i have a outie 2003 with 100k, but several miles ago,i found that the passenger seat floor was soak,i mean soak wet!! omg! like it was flood it! unplugged the drains in the bottom of the car to drain it and wait until it got dry,researching and researching i found out that there was a recall for this, ( corrosion on the wiring harness due to water leaking tru the upper dash area or side seals) and when i went to the dealer and contact mitsu north america said that my car was not included in the recall,cause the cars affected are the ones manufactured before 4/11/2003 and my car was manufactured 4/15/2003!!! can you believe!! my car is exactly doing what the recall says and for 4 days my car is not included,i bet you that most cars affected for this were manufactured on the same date as mine,so mitsu is pulling a fast one here,ugh! i'm always being happy with mitsus,my fam had 3,but this men.... ugh! anyone have had this problem?

Just browsing through a couple sites found a coilover set actually designed for the 1G Outlander.

I honestly don't plan on doing much more to the Outlander anytime soon besides a bit of tweaking to the exhaust and some minor stuff. At least until we get a second vehicle, which at that point might become what I tweak depending on what it is, and I might leave the Outlander alone.

The idea of dropping it a touch during the summer and raising it back up for the winter is kind of appealing as I think about it. So was curious if anyone had any comments about them, as I might put it on the list of planned modifications when we do pick up a second vehicle.

Does anyone know if parts from the Eclipse 4G64 fit the Outlander 4G64. Im specificaly looking for the headers.

I know the intake mass air flow adapter fits, but i want headers.

If not does anyone know where i can get aftermarket headers for my 03 2wd Outlander 4G64.

Thanks,
Jason

Should have looked earlier, but I see on Mitsubishi's website that the timing belt and water pump are both covered for defects, but not for wear and tear under the addendum. Does this mean that my water pump that failed at 52k on my 2003 would have been covered under warranty? Or would they have said that mine failed due to wear and tear?


Any experience with this addendum that I've never heard of till I researched today???

Hello everyone i am new to the group and have some questions about my 2003 Outlander.

A little about my car its a 2003 with 126,000 miles and still going strong. I am the only owner had it since new.

Questions,

1. I was told that i had a bad tie rod end by the tire shop (is this common) he showed me slack while it was jacked up. And what i have found was inner tie rods cost about 100 a piece or i can buy a remaned rack with inner tie rods for around 300. What do you think. The car does drive a little sloppy ie drifts side to side allot. I also know i have bad struts too.

2. I had to replace the engine block after an accident because the center carrier bearing mount broke off the engine. while i had the head and intake out i had a threeway valve job and had the intake polished. when done i put an aftermarket air intake from an eclipse 4g64. I was wondering if anyone knows if an aftermarket exhaust manifold for the eclipse 4g64 will fit the outlander 4g64.

3. What other performance mods can be done to this engine.

I am very mechanicly inclined just not when it comes to suspension so if anyone could tell me what needs to be replaced on the front and back to make this thing solid again i would appreciate it. Also if you have part numbers and manufacturer i would appreciate it also.

Thanks,
J

Hello everyone. I'm driving airtrek turbo, and I noticed that when it isn't warmed up completely, it accelerates really fast, but after some time in the traffic when it warms up, the acceleration becomes much less intense:(
could someone advise me what might be the reason?
thank you:)
