This recall was issued a while ago. I had mine done a couple of years back when it was in for its service. They replace both rear calipers for new ones.

Most cars in the last 20 years or so have anti-siphoning devices in place. So the other way to do it would be to disconnect the fuel hose at the engine end (or under the car if there's a suitable connector), then attempt to start the engine - which will cause the in-tank pump to pump the fuel...

No - because Mitsubishi don't tend to produce a single PDF version of their workshop manuals, unlike say Nissan or Subaru. Most of Mitsubishi's workshop manuals are in this format, with several small PDFs linked together with a bit of software to make navigation easier and link up with parts...

Ah yes that's a good point - the MY20 has a bit more range than older models.

Totally agree - this is not a pure EV, it's a Hybrid. So you are expected to use petrol some of the time. If you can do all your driving without then a pure EV SUV (such as the MG ZS or Kia Nero) might be a better fit. We've seen over the 8 years or so that the Outlander PHEV has been on sale...

You probably won't manage that all on EV, no matter how you drive, although you will manage most of it. Most PHEVs (Mitsubishi, VW, Audi, Kia etc) are designed around the average commute being under 15 miles a day, so this is the EV range. You're just above that so you won't get all of the...

Facelifted model released mid-2015 is MY16.

I think the issue is more likely to be with it not cutting off the motor current when it's supposed to be parking rather than the rain sensor, as it does it on non-auto modes such as single wipe. You should try a different garage - I don't think there's anything unusual about the Outlander's...

I'm getting bored of typing this on here and on other PHEV forums/FB groups. MITSUBISHI ARE NOT LEAVING EUROPE. They are simply not seeking EU/UK type approval for new models, so they won't be for sale. All existing models will remain on sale until they're either not being produced or don't...

Mine started making a whistling noise and I resolved it by squirting a bit of black silicone sealant under the strip and putting a heavy book on top for a few hours to push it down while it set. I think it just lifts enough to let the airflow get under and cause the noise, so pushing it down a...

Mitsubishi Motors are not 'pulling out of Europe/UK' - they're just not getting type approval for new models (which means they can't be sold through dealerships). Most dealerships should carry on as normal. There's no change to sales of existing models (until they stop making them), or to parts...

It shouldn't have come as a surprise if you're keeping up to date on global automotive news. Mitsubishi Motors have been in financial trouble for a few years, and despite the Renault/Nissan group being created it's not been quite enough. They announced the end of the Pajero in the EU/Japan...

Cable tidies and wall mount holsters are readily available from places such as Amazon.

Been caught out by that on a Subaru rear diff - ended up filling it very slowly through the 4mm breather tube! Funnel on a long bit of pipe is what I always used to use. As long as you get the funnel higher than the fill hole (ask an assistant to hold it level with with bumper for example)...

I think you might need to clear up some terminology - the Outlander PHEV does not have a CVT gearbox. In fact it doesn't have a gearbox as such at all, just a clutch connecting the flywheel to the front diff through a fixed geartrain, in addition to the front motor coupled via the same GKN...

Whilst it's true that petrol contains detergents and de-watering agents, the filters are designed to capture small bits of dirt (or on older cars with metal tanks and filler pipes, rust). For example if you fill up with petrol near the coast you're inevitably going to get the odd grain of sand...

That's not clogged - far from it. If you live in a city centre, it can get dirtier than that in just a few days of driving. Nothing to worry about. Enjoy your car :)

My Renault 5s (various models, 1.1, 1.7 and a couple of GT Turbos mainly) had the plastic filters in the engine bay before the cam driven fuel pump, apart from the GT Turbos which have electric pumps and metal cannister filters inconveniently located under the car in front of the fuel tank. And...

Interval was every 2 years or 30,000 miles on most cars before the 1990s when fuel injection and high pressure in tank pumps started to replace the older carburettor or external pump injection systems.

Ah the good old days when we had carburettors and metal fuel tanks. Used to change the fuel filter every 2 years on quite a lot of cars. But the pipe from the tank was generally low pressure, so just a couple of jubilee clips for a cylindrical filter usually under the car. No filter in the tank...
