The Official CS Lancer Thread!

[PapaC]

As everybody asking for advice...

Considering selling the CS3. It's from the firm, well maintained, just over 5 years old. Just my mileage lil high, about 170k.

Main reason to sell is to upgrade as I have a car seat in the back now, the space is an issue. Trunk space also.
Because I having no mechanical problems and it works great, I thinking to hold onto it and maybe buy a new car next year. But not sure how much the the mileage will affect the price if I try to sell now. Also if the price now isn't worth to sell, then I should probably just hold on to it. What y'all think?

[Ted_v2]

If it works fine. Keep it.

If you can afford to upgrade then sure.
Can't see what other vehicle going to have much space unless it's a suv.

good day tuners

I bought a gdi cs2 awd on Friday and I am looking for some stuff to get the car to my liking so im looking for the following items any help will be greatly appreciated

1. all door upholstery
2. steering wheel
3. center consol
4. floor carpet
5. back windscreen dash
6. two headlights
7. all seats
8. instrument cluster with rpm tach
9. a mechanic as close to san Fernando as possible who knows gdi engines and transmission ... its the awd model

the car is working but has that lazy pull off as described in this tread, the engine has some oil leaks, the tappet cover for sure, so I need a mech to fix the oil leaks and service the solenoids in the tranny, and jentons is far and seems expensive from what I read here could there be anyone closer to san do who is does the same standard as jentons

thanks in advance for any help rendered

[BrotherHood]

Thanks for the info guys...if anybody knows anyone else closer to town please share ..:grin:

Elvis on el socorro, First left as you come off the highway heading back to san juan, Second or third house on the left.He doesnt have a sign up but youll know when you reach there as he's opposite lyods radiator just park by lyod as no one seems to go there and cross the road.
Trust me you ll wanna go by this man. Go early as i was there by 730 and it had bout 5 ppl before me.
pm me if you need any more clarification.

Check that man moses. Elvin in El Socorro. When heading east of the highway, take the exit just after El Socorro walk over. Keep left. Going down El Socorro main road its the first street on your left. About the 2nd house on left. Elvin is directly opposite Lloyd's Radiator Repairs.
Elvin does be ram cram from early. Go early (by 8am or before). Be prepared to leave your car and come back. It will cost you about $400 to change the top tank of your radiator, which is where you described the leak was coming from.

I did mine there about two years ago. Works good up to this day.

^^ i personally find jentons too expensive...it have a guy name glasses in longdenville...very reasonable and does good work....tel-665 3926 or 721 8019

I agree. Jenton's is expensive. I have dealt with them because of proximity, service, reliability and warranty after repairs. There are other transmission specialist around that I am sure can perform the same quality of work.

There is another guy lower down from Jenton's in Aranguez.
Jai's Transmission Specilaist. He is just as good but claimed to be not as expensive. He has a big sign up on the main road at the corner that leads into the street he is in. It is on your left if you have entered Aranguez Main Road from the highway.

Maintenance of any transmission, or mechanical part therof that has oil, the fluid should be changed.
This should not be the first time you are changing that fluid. If it is, be glad nothing happened.

Anyhow, the correct fluid to buy is anyone/brand that is graded ATF SP III. Anything else and it will damage the transmission.
The Mitsubishi SP III transmision fluid itself is sold in three colours. Black, blue and white. Within recent times, I have only been seeing the black....

[wagonrunner]

the blue and white are still around in south. faiz / chablal.

anyone knows where has Engine Oil Dipsticks for the CS3?
faiz / mathura's / chablal / union auto / spark's / sherrif's don't have.

[missyniques1]

I will take my chances at Jentons cuz I went by Jai already when I was getting a noise from my car and I was told it was the transmission. He infact told me to buy a foreign used one and the one then I got my problem resolved elsewhere and the noise was gone. It just so happen I am having another problem. Maybe I should have taken his advice but as it is, I cannot afford to totally change my tranny at the moment. I really do not want to hear "I need a new tranny from him again. If jentons can solve my problem without telling me I need a new one then that would be great.

Btw I called jentons and the diagnostic test is $230 and NOT FREE as some of yall said. Unless somebody here know jenton personally and can get it for me for free

It was me that said the diagnostic test was free.
When I was having my problems, it was done for free. I guess that has since changed. People probably used to get a free diagnosis and go elsewhere to fix their stuff.

With regards to a new transmission, it is better to rebuild/overhaul than to buy a foreign used one.

[moses_boss12]

Anyone haev a number for Elvis in Elsocorro ??

[BrotherHood]

PM nissan4life. He might have a number for Elvin. Otherwise, do a search of this thread and see if anything comes up.

I think a year is too long in my opinion it should be 6 month SP111 oil is very thin and the heat output of the CVT is higher that the hydraulic transmission.

In my case I change every 6 months or 40000 km this is because I have a transmission cooler if not I would change it at earlier intervals

Yes I am a bit paranoid but I can assure of the two lancers with CVT have never had any issues what so ever (knocks on wood)

Having said that when I sold the silver lancer which served me well for 6 solid years with out issues the new owner %&#@& up both engine and transmission in less than a year

[missyniques1]

Maybe u sold it at a time the both tranny and engine was going. In 2 days of me buying that piece of sh*t car, from that a$$^ole from belmont, the tranny started giving trouble. And I still didn't notice the noise. My father did. So it may have been present even before I bought the car. But say wat! I live and learn. I know that once somebody do me something, not another human being can do me it again!

[cyb3rphantom]

^^Mind me asking who a$$^ole,and what car is that u bought?

[missyniques1]

I rather not say but if u know an a$$^ole from belmont then that's the guy

[PapaC]

Sometimes I hear a kind of rattle when I mash gas, usually hear it when I going over a hump, when you mash just to push over nah. What is that noise?

[ZeroOne]

ronsin is really 30,000km I change tranny fluid and I take over a year to make that.

Damn I feel your pain...sigh

To me it seems as though you bought a cyash pan

Find the money and fix your car...count your losses and move on...

[kjaglal76v2]

lesson- when buying a used car have a mechanic check & scan it

That first transmission man rel stink. Taking advantage because you are a woman. Steups!!!
I feel your pain, especially after spending $4000 on the same transmission recently.

My suggestion, acquire the funds and takevthe car to Jenton's. Let them rebuild that transmission. You will be worry free when they are done with it.

As hard as it might seems, you have to count your losses, learn from this and move on. The man that sell you that car is really an a$$hole.

[BrotherHood]

Padna of mine have six quarts of SPIII transmission fluid and a box of spark plugs. $450. PM if alyuh want the link.
