The Electrical Power Steering warning light has come on. We've hardly used the car in the last 3 months so not sure why. The local Mitsubishi garage (Masters in Croydon) says to bring it in to have a look at it (the manual says I should bring the car in) but they will charge £126 diagnostic...

Thanks DaveP118, We have bought the car since my last post so hope the battery is a good one. As well as your findings I was also curious to know what all the other figures on the worksheets meant - apart from the Ah ones. When you say someone may have done a reset do you mean of the ECU or...

Hugwi and all, sorry I didn’t see this until now. I managed to get a battery health check done last Monday for the car I want to buy - yes it did take some persuading and time! Pse see attached pics of Worksheets 1 and 2 that I was sent, which might help people on here. Worksheet 1 says that...

GD I’ve heard different definitions about the 5yr/8yr warranties. Where I thought you had 5 years for the car and 8 years for the battery a Mitsubishi HQ customer service advisor (called Ariel) recently told me that only the ‘capacity’ of the battery warranty was claimable for 8 years if it...

Thanks very much everyone - it’s quite reassuring to see that I shouldn’t get too hung up on the battery range reading / guessometer! Littlescrote - your term paralysis by analysis is a great bang on description! I really hope the battery isn’t going to need replacing after 8 years though as...

Thanks a lot Outlander660. It does help to know what readings other people are getting in summer and winter, even if your car sounds a bit younger than this one.

I forgot to add - in November another MD service dept. told me that the way to get the average mileage range would be to fully charge the car by plugging in using normal charge at 13 amp mains. Then drive the car around to decrease the battery/range. Then repeat this - full charge and driving...

Many thanks GD. :) We are in London and the car is in Cheshire, so I'm trying to head off any potential problems before payment and collection as it's so far to return the car if anything goes wrong. (FYI the only other car I've found in the same year, mileage, spec and colour I want is 1k...

I wanted a battery health check done on a 2016 GX4hs before purchase from a car supermarket dealer (SD). Car has full Mitsubishi Dealer (MD) service history and 41k miles on clock. I also asked if the MD could take a look at the MMCS computer to resolve why the SD couldn’t turn off a pre-heating...

Am v. confused - your experience would be much appreciated - I have spoken to several Mitsubishi Dealers (MD’s) in the UK but all have different responses. Please can someone inform me correctly? I wanted a battery health check done on a 2016 GX4hs before purchase from a car supermarket dealer...

Latest update - car dealer has said they will take it into a Mitsubishi dealer that has the next available diagnostics date. So we now have to wait at least a couple of weeks to find out why the MMCS timer isn't turning off all 7 days, etc. Please do let me know if anyone knows about this? I'm...

Thank you for the replies folks, the car sales dealer just called me to say he drove it around the forecourt a bit and then the battery range went up to 17 miles. But he says he can't turn off the heater timer on the MMCS - he's had technicians and himself trying to figure out for two hours this...

Still not managed to collect 2nd hand PHEV due to lockdown/getting Covid but car dealer (non Mitsubishi) said battery range was only reading 11 miles when fully charged? It’s a March 2016 PHEV GX4hs, 41k miles. I‘ve asked him to check that the heater and timer for heater are switched off on the...

Thanks for the caveat Greendwarf - I was asking incase anyone had any obvious reason to go with Mitsubushi’s own extended warranty, as folk on this forum have previously said they prefer to go to a Mitsubushi main dealer to buy the PHEV, rather than a car supermarket type dealer. The...

Hope everyone is ok in this awful pandemic. Trying to buy a 2016 GX4hs - 41k miles - from a non Mitsubishi car dealer - they are offering an RAC Platinum Warranty at £599, 799 or 999 for 1, 2 or 3 years. It includes roadside assist and MOT failure insurance. However I've heard from a couple of...

Many thank Andy in Oz and everyone that helped! I'm going to post a query re. extended warranties - if anyone is able to help I'd be very grateful.

Thank you everyone! So recently I realised that even though I thought the heater/air con was off it was in fact on. (I hadn't pressed the 'off' button!) When I did press the off button the range shot up from 18 to 22 miles! I also read lots more of the owners' manual and found out how to find...

Thank you All for these very helpful responses! I’ll check the mmcs for the heater timer - never had such an advanced car before so all new to us - our last car was a 21 yr old Ford Ka to give you an idea! But not happy that the battery goes down so quickly while driving or while car is at a...

Appealing to experienced owners for help pse. Drove out of (non Mitsubishi) dealer with car fully charged on Monday (45k miles on clock). 2016 GX 4hs (Sept. reg) Almost as soon as left garage the blue battery icon dropped to half way! By the time we got home (only 8 miles) the blue bar was...
