100,000 Km and that dreaded time to pay out money and change the timing belt.
Asked for a quote from the local Mitsu dealer and got a mumble that it was $1100 plus for the timing belt.
So asked; Plus what?
No answer.
Then a phone call to say it was time to have the timing belt changed and the 105,000 service.
Requested a quote.
No reply.
Phoned 3 days later and asked again.
No reply.
So went to the mechanic next door and he said no problems. I do lots of Tritons and some Challengers.
Booked in and done yesterday.
Cost.....
$550 for Timing belt, Balance shaft belt, Fan belt and Power steering belt.
Half the price of the dealer.
Also comment that the intake was badly clogged and they would de-clog it if they do the service.
So, Bye Bye Mitsubishi dealer .............
