Your Mitsubishi dealer can supply & fit on your next service - it'll just cost more

[rics21]

hey MRO where did u get the Bosch aerotwin? and how much ?

hey MRO where did u get the Bosch aerotwin? and how much ?

Genuine Bosch Aerotwin's cost 1200 Baht for both front wipers (19" + 22") inc. EMS delivery. Fitting is so easy it doesn't even qualify as a DIY

Chinese copies can be had for about 500-700 Baht/set, but will not last/perform the same of course, perhaps an option if you're just interested in getting rid of the 1970's look though Best place to find these is Khlong Thom markets.

My supplier for the genuine Bosch units was Khun Peng, phone 08-2687-6911 (speaks a little English).

I know you will laugh but l bought some ' silicone ' wipers in Tesco, they work great although they have the old design technology. Better than the factory kit, only downside is the blade is white.

No laughing, at least you changed them! Most people leave wipers on way past their service life (~12-18 months) and become road hazards the moment it rains.

no reply from khun peng, so i called the bosch thailand, they gave me the number of a dealer at worajak.

called the dealer and was told that they dont carry aerotwin.

totally confused at the moment.

I've also sent an email, will let you know if/when I hear back..

BTW, got some projector fog lights with ccfl rings, just need to get some xenon's and fit them

Beam pattern is perfect - I can go as bright as I want with them

nice......

this is really getting interesting.

[elrey]

Now how much were those Cabrones, MRO? they HID?

where can i get em?

Projectors were 1800 baht/set from R-Style, and came with standard H3 halogen bulbs. They have two models - one with white CCFL rings and the other with blue CCFL rings. I chose the blue to match my FITT mirror covers

Now fitted along with a 35w 4300k xenon kit. Fitting was not strictly straight-forward however - you'll need a collection of nuts, bolts and washers to do it as the projectors are ~20mm narrower than the OEM foglights. The trick is to flip the OEM bracket around so it's back-to-front, then it all lines up perfect. The CCFL's are hooked up to the parking light circuit.

[SoloFlyer]

Nice indeed.

My FITT covers arrived today with as did the rear left and right skirt. Hopefully fitted tommorrow, along with the simply cool folding mirrors.

[MoonRiverOasis]

Wow, the difference with the xenon foglight projectors is great

OEM headlights (projectors) with 4300K HID Xenon:

As above, plus foglight projectors with 4300K HID Xenon - as you can see there's no additional light output above the OEM headlight cutoff, except for that reflected by the road:

And just in case you think I might be blinding traffic, here's a pic at head-height for a small car:

And here's what the road and small animals see

Khun Peng just got back to me and confirmed the phone number and email address I've already supplied is correct. Not sure if you want to try again?

MRO, it will be good if u can get me the phone number.

maybe i parked in the sun too often? should i lift up the wipers after i park? it will be so troublesome.

Aerotwin vendor: 082-6876-911 (Khun Peng)

As for your problem, it depends on why they failed to work.. Was it because they were stuck to the windscreen, or something else? If the former, the Aerotwins will help - their synthetic rubber resists sticking much better than the OEM rubbers.

great thanks MRO,

my colleague bought me a pair of "B50" silicone ones. so i m trying them on at the moment.

contacted Khun Peng and he is in Chiang mai, didnt wanted to bother his family, so i will stick with the silicone wipers 1st.

Hey guys, am sitting here in Mitsu service centre- supposed to be here for 5k, but they claim they are no longer doing it - people on the web claiming its unnecessary - as in why pay 171b for a check-up when no oil or anything is being changed??

I need to have my breaks checked anyway - as they are squealing on a slow break. That is normally 300b to check; they say they'll check it for the 171b 5k service fee.

Can someone give us a run-down of how the service scheduling is supposed to work?

The 5,000 KM intervals are only if you have the 5year/150,000km warranty - if you miss three of them, your warranty reverts to 3years/100,000KM.

You should have two service books for the car - the main book which has the 10,000KM service intervals, and a separate, smaller "coupon" book for the 5,000KM extended warranty service intervals.

Do NOT trust the dealer on this one - three strikes and your extended warranty is out.

[SoloFlyer]

Thanks MRO. I have the 'diamond warrnty' - and both books.

He didn't stamp either book until I got them out and asked him to - he's stamped and signed the larger book, but left the smaller one alone.

Pg 17 of the larger book has the service intervals at every 5k as well - is just getting this stamped sufficient? Or should I take the small book back to them as well??

MRO, do you think their claim that they have stopped using the 5k service because of 'internet chatter' is pure BS?? (sounds like it to me, but I wouldn't think a mitsu dealer could outright lie like that ) If so, how do I check? Do I contact a Mitsu head office somewhere?? And do I start servicing elsewhere?

Thanks. And please let me know where I can buy you a beer or three (happy to leave credit somewhere).

The stamp should have gone into the warranty extension book - that's your proof of validity for the 5 year/150,000KM warranty.

I've heard nothing re: the service necessity being canceled, and I definitively haven't been supplied with any official letters stating my 150,000KM warranty is now valid without the need for the 5,000KM services (which is what it would take - the conditions are in writing in the book).

For clarification, you can contact MMTH customer service at: customer.plus [at] th.mitsubishi-motors.com

[SoloFlyer]

Cheers. Have emailed MMTH. How long should I wait for a response?

In future I can just take it to any other mitsu service centre, correct?

[rics21]

try Mitsu Kwang Thai, they stamped all the entries.

i called Mistu Thailand the other day to ask them about the engine oil and servicing for the 10,000km. i m going deep south this new year holidays and may not be able to go in for servicing till 13,000km.

was told if i miss or delay the the servicing for 3 times and the 5year warranty will be canceled by default.

MMTH usually respond within a day or two..

Yes, you can get the car serviced at any Mitsubishi dealership. My 1,000KM was done in Pattaya, my 5,000 in Chiangmai etc.

The dealer who did the 5,000KM up in CM stamped the right books and appeared to understand how the extended warranty works - they were located roughly here: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=18.766917,99.028868&spn=0.000653,0.001929&z=19

[SoloFlyer]

rics, could you post that phone number, thanks.

MRO, I know the place you mean.

I'll wait for MMTH response, and take that to the dealer and see what they have to say.
