Extremely reliable car. Good economy and mileage. Soft stock suspension that offers a good ride. Lots of aftermarket parts and conversions can be done to the body (head lamp/tail lamp/ bumpers etc), engine, suspension and interior. Some parts on the CS2 and CS3 and CS5 wagon are interchangeable. Very good daily driver. Good everyday power.

Main issues are with the GDI engine and CVT transmission. Untimely and negligent maintenance are the causes of these issues. They require alot more attention that other engines or other transmissions. If you are a fella that services his car on time, then you will have no problems.
However, you buying a used car and could possibly be one that has been treated with bad maintenance by last owner. Have a good mechanic check the engine (if GDI), the CVT transmission and throttle body.

Anything else will be found within the 400 plus pages of this thread. Just do a search within the thread using the search bar at the top right hand corner.

Fellas, with a brake upgrade on our CS Lancers, does the master cylinder also need to be upgraded?

[Dave]

Would only add to the increased clamping diameter you now have, I.e. increased brake feel

[BrotherHood]

Ok, thanks Dave.

[fras]

Hey fellas looking for a extractor for my ck2 any help?

[eliteauto]

can anyone shed some light onto why the shifter in my cs3 not moving from reverse to park? transmission is automatic.

Yuh shifter bushing mash up. The bushing is a small cylindrical plastic white cap that goes on top of the shifter rod.



Where can I get this bushing to buy?

[idlemind]

Don't know of DM sells these, back when mine broke I used the tip of a spark plug.
Think I mentioned this earlier..

Found it:

Nope...there's such an easy fix for this I couldn't believe and had to see it for myself.
Get an old spark plug and pop out the tip of the plug that makes contact with the coil packs (not the spark tip)

Replace the broken cream cap with the piece from the spark plug.
Works like an eff'in charm!

[eliteauto]

thanks a lot

Happened to me, dry rot, crumbled and fell out.

Used a pen cover and some epoxy, works like new

Good Morning Guy,

Need some Help, I have a local CS3 Lancer 4G18 with a CVT transmission, This morning while on the highway the transmission started to run strange, the acceleration not smooth. the only way i could describe, it feels like as if you are stepping on the gas and coming off and then stepping on the gas again. Any ideas what could be the issue?

About a yeare ago I bought the exact original plastic cap at Diamond Motors POS, for about $90 or so. Don't know if they still do.

Yes, I find so.

Like Ted said, the solenoids need servicing. What you experiencing will get worse over time. Check Jenton's in Aranguez to repair. In the mean time, take the battery poles off the battery for at least half hour before you drive the car.

[missyniques1]

Was having the same problem in the drop off the rpm. Mine wasn't solenoids. My drum had a leak. Either way, Jentons will do a full refurbishing! They are really good. Had mine fixed about a month ago and it worked better than Wen I bought the car!
