Hey guys, I have a 2004 Lancer CS3 4G18 engine. I've been using Shell HX7 10W40 oil and change every 7000Kms. I want to switch to Shell Ultra 5W40 Full synthetic and change every 15000Kms, what do you think?
Hey guys, I'm nearing 70k mileage. Since i am not the first owner, i prefer to change the timing belt at this interval rather than at 100K. I have already purchased the timing belt. Got it in SUN Brand. It's made in japan. What else is neccesary to change? Thanks
Guys, for the 4G18 SOHC Manual with F5M41, I only have 3 belts that I see, I think one is for powersteering/aircon and one is for alternator and one is for timing belt?
But why is there so many timing belts for the 4G18 engine? which one to buy? Thanks
Sorry to tell you, but that pretty much looks like your head gasket had failed and oil mixed with your coolant. It is possible that those same fans may have failed and caused that issue. You'll most likely have to do an engine job by removing the head and replacing with a new head gasket (Buy genui...
Hey guys, got a problem today. My Lancer CS3 with 4G18 engine temperature went to highest. Normally it goes to one quarter to half. I stopped the car, my mechanic told me that it's the radiator cap and I should change it as it\s not holding pressure and sending all water to the reservoir. Upon lifin...
Hey guys, so I chopped the stereo harness out of my 04 cs3 but did not remove the negative side of the battery terminal, now my hazard and the multifunction switch(where the headlight wiper buttons are) only work when I use the car key. Without the key, the hazard does not work...any help? Did i fry...

Just reached 40000 Kms on my CS3, what is the servicing that should be done? I think the car is ok, so should I just change oil and oil filter? 40k and Yuh plugs seals leaking? I would suggest a full tune up change water pump timing belt and tranny fluid. You car obviously has a lot more mileage th...
Hey guys, just took out my spark plugs to clean them out. Here are some pics, would you say everything is ok? Is there supposed to be oil in the spark plug hole(1st pic), spark plug(2nd pic), ignition coil(3rd pic) http://i.imgur.com/UMDjkwz.jpg http://i.imgur.com/jvCkGGe.jpg http://i.imgur.com/HlJF...
Hey guys, about some 5000kms back I changed my normal spark plugs to NGK Iridium BKR6EIX-11 plugs, most of the time I drive the car below 3000rpm and below 100kmph. Some days ago, I've been facing a problem when accelerating in 1st, 2nd and 3rd geasr, the car jerks a bit as in the acceleration is no...
Hey guys, my current headlight bulbs are Philips 12342 LL E1. Can I replace them with these bulbs? Or will I be blinding people with it? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Philips-X-treme-Vision-H4-130-P43t-12342-2-St-EINFUHRUNGSPREIS-/201189594948?pt=DE_Autoteile&hash=item2ed7d59744 It says 130% more ligh...
Hey guys about 2500kms ago when I changed my 4 new rims and 4 new dunlop sp 600 tyres, I did wheel rotation and wheel alignment and my problem of steering wheel vibrating(over 120km/h) was gone, but now when I do over 120km/h, it starts to vibrate, any idea what's the problem? Thanks
Happy New Year everyone. That is some extreme coolant loss there Nidish. That isn't normal. Check to see if that reservoir bottle has a leak. Well, the mechanic told me to change the radiator cap. Let's hope for the best. Btw what is the size of the rear speakers on the CS3? Is it 6.5 or 6.75? And ...
Did you start the car with the radiator cap off to let the air bubbles come out after flushing? The air takes the place of fluid inside the radiator. You would have then had to top up the radiator. Yep, the thing is after I purchased the car, the reservoir was dry, so I thought the previous owner d...
Hmmm, now I'm having another issue, the other day flushed my radiator and replenished the radiator as well as the coolant reservoir with new coolant, today I check, the coolant in the reservoir is gone, but I can't spot a leak....any idea? Thanks

So, just changed the Cabin Air Filter. I used sakura brand, excellent value for money. The part number is CAC-1006, in case someone want to buy it. Here are some pics of my old cabin air filter. It's just a filter the previous owner put in, it's not made for the car. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.co...
Hey guys, I'm from Mauritius and I just bought a CS3 Lancer with 4G18 engine. I'm thinking of changing the spark plugs to iridium NGK BKR6EIX-11 as compared with my current bosch super 4 ones. Will I need to upgrade the ignition coils and spark plug wires considering I'm putting Iridium plugs in? Al...
