I always use B5 and the ICE does not start while driving.

Doesn't the cabin air filter live behind the removable glovebox?

Many batteries will fit in the Outlander PHEV as long as the connectors have the same size as the original. You might have to fiddle around to get the expansion hose to fit properly. In the Netherlands Mitsubishi charges an insane amount of money to change the 12V battery (I believe over 500...

The wheel bearing might be the cause of the sound. Any garage or even you yourself can check this by lifting the car and checking if the wheel rotates freely.

Using the charge mode to charge the battery with the ICE is transferring energy from petrol to movement and then from movement to battery charge (and when you drive from battery to movement again). Every transfer you lose energy so you can better use transfer petrol directly into car movement...

Great! Thanks for your effort Mike!

You can check how many times the battery has been charged with the PHEV Watchdog app and and ODB dongle.

I think the rear wheel need to spin otherwise the system will give an error.

Dusting your car has not killed the SDcard so do not blame yourself. The SDcard is available for sale on various websites. You could try to read the SDcard on a computer and copy its contents to a new SDcard and see if that works.

I do not think you have a second 12V battery under the bonnet. The 12V battery in the boot is the only one. I think the tech guy was not looking correctly as you can measure the battery voltage both directly from the battery in the boot and but choosing the correct wires (probably at the...

The unlock knobs will sometimes not work properly if you have a mobile phone near your fob. When you have no phone on you unlocking should be fine.

Just make a long test drive and ask them to charge the battery before you get there. Drive like you normally would and you will see how far it goes on electricity. There is no "limit" which defines a bad car from a good one.

Welcome Gerrit! Some of the Dutch forum users are also on this forum including me. Same car, almost the same people.

Did you have an ODBD adapter connected to the car (for PHEV Watchdog for example)? I received the same errors once and they have not returned after I turned the car off and removed the ODBD adapter.

The fuel filter is located below the rear seats and the dealer charges quite a lot of money to replace it (every 160.000 kilometres). Our Prius never got a new fuel filter in 265.000 kilometres so I think I will skip this replacement.
