Mitsubishi Mukdahan

[carlyai]

Any reports on the competence of mechanics?

Son's Mishi a problem under load and tappet sound and big cloud of black smoke.

Not all the time.

So he's taking my car back to Banggers and I'll take his car to Mishubishi Muk. on Monday.

So Mishu Muk. Ok or not?

Can't say about Mitsubishi mechanics, but big clouds of black smoke does not sound good. Diesel or petrol?

Diesel Pajero. But black smoke not all the time. 

Seems when you apply power going up a hill this brings the tappet sound on.

Any clues on maybe problem?

Ten years old, over 250000km.

I am not sure if or when the injectors have been replaced or cleaner.

I had similar problems with a toyota mighty x, problems turned out to be 2 slipping drive belts

That was going to be my next question.

 

I reckon the injectors need replacing.

May be just dirty injectors, or something more serious.
