Mitsubishi Expo Repair Questions and Answers


Question:  1994 Mitsubishi Expo mileage: 112,000.   For over four years I have had a problem with excessive oil consumption. Dealerships I consulted in both Colorado and Oregon either had not suggestion on how to solve the problem or did unnecessary work (valve cover gasket and engine seal replacement), which did nothing to solve the problem.   Just recently, I took the car to an independent garage.  They found that the engine compression was normal and that a drip down test proved inconclusive.  However, they suggested that the oil rings might be at fault.   So I had them replace the oil rings and do a ring job together with all the had and valve work that such a job requires.  The result is that my oil consumption has gone from one quart for every 150 miles to one quart for every 450 miles.  This is an improvement.  However, it still seems excessive to me.  Is there anything you can suggest?  Thank you.

Answer: Check the auxiliary valves in the cylinder head (the third valve).  The seals on the housing may be leaking allowing oil into the cylinders.



Question:  1994 Mitsubishi Expo  mileage: 144,000.  My turn indicator switch located on the steering column went out.  I am tempted to fix it myself due to the large expense to have it replaced.  Do I need to pull the steering column?  This model has a driver side airbag and that's the part that scares me.  I do have an expansive knowledge of car repair, but much better on older models.   Is there a website, or manual that will help me in my dilemma?

Answer: Since you will be dealing with an air bag and the potential injury it could cause, it would be a good idea to have an experienced mechanic repair your car.
