ok well i not to long came bak from there, I walked with my mechanic and tried the scanner which said that the transmission fluid pressure is low, by which we started and reversed and drove fwd a couple times only to notice that their is an actual slippage of the gear from the transmission which is probably why the car not gettin any power to move but it rollin otherwise, so really no ecu failure whatsoever. But the straightener gettin another person to check it to confirm that it is the transmision now, so I awaiting the response from them.
On another note now, we checked the transmission fluid which smelt kinda burnt and might have the filings from the clutch, wey hopin it not dat bad, we was lookin to drain the oil but the straightener say wait on he response from the guy. So will keep u all updated when ah find out...

How the hell someone focks up a new car like that? Is it the person was just being spiteful because it was being repossessed?

yea I would tink so cuz most of the 18" rims dished and doh talk about the tires look like dey rel burn out with them and the car has some body work to do as well...so it take some good ruff up b4 dey let go it

You need the new Mitsu J1 CVT fluid if you changing

Ramai's in Vistabella has it

Seems like previous owner did inflict some pain and hurt

She can come back from that

If tranny goin into fail safe limp mode, then the electronics taking over and saving the mechanical parts as they designed to - this is good

Check TCU as well

sounds really good. Lets hope the cvt oil works

acmilan11 · Posted: Sun Nov 15, 2009 10:37 pm Post subject:

yea I bought some of that oil today its kinda pricey though $169 a quart...but like u sayin how it does go in fail safe mode...u tink it wud come bak to workin normal if I change the fluid?

Once the condition that triggered the sensors no longer exists, then YES

may need some manual intervention to clear the code in the ECU though

If the fluid worn, you can get low pressures, thus explaining the error code that yoi received

If I were you, seeeing that the car got some stress, I would do a full flush of tjat tranny, once it back on the road

acmilan11, how you really got this vehicle ?

Did you purchase it from someone or from DM only to find out later it was repoessed ?

If it was purchased from someone (although purchasing a brand new PCH vehicle from someone does raise questons ) and DM say the vehicle was not maintained according to their records or electronics was tampered with (which will void warranty ) then you will have to stand the cost by yourself and DM vampires will buss price on you.

With respect to servicing if any thay can easily delete those records from their database just to avoid honouring the warranty terms since you cant seem to get in touchg with the previous owner.

If it was a used vehicle from DM they should have informed you (but they dont have to unless you ask ) about the vehicle history and warranty. Then the descision is yours.

The best thing is to get the vehicle scanned , I sure it have tuners hear who does do this like Mr Anil and from the results you can make your next move.

Keep us posted and god luck.

My alignment mechanic told me he also experienced a problem with one of these 2.0L new lancers, the car could not go up the ramp like the engine had no power, and when it eventually got up and time to move it could not reverse. Only after removing the battery for about 1 hour then the car worked normally.

Next year I am considering upgrading my CS3 to one of these but is having second taughts, everyone I talk to have no issues with the 1.5L but I am getting a few bad remarks about the 2.0L.

I may consider a mazda 6 istead.

yea peeps, well the guy the straightener brought to check the car opened some cover where a solenoid is located and checked and saw that it wasn't opening and some other part was tampered with apparently..will find out the name of it when I go to check the car later today..

JUS4SHO thanks for the cvt manuals will take a look at that

acmilan11 · Posted: Tue Nov 17, 2009 12:58 pm Post subject:

ok fellars some progression taking place as the straigtener gey bak the solenoids to open and the car gettin power now...but the only thing is it not goin into 4th gear well overdrive and the paddle shifters not workin...he feel that parts missin for dat to work..but for now it workin a huge weight removed from meh shoulder.
So the straightener say give 2 wks let him get the car bak to tip top shape and then dig up again to resolve the other problem..

Previous owner really knocked her up man . . .

acmilan11 · Posted: Sun Nov 22, 2009 10:37 pm Post subject:

yea bought the body parts last wk...jus hav to paint and put on...shud get it bak by weekend..after that den we'll dig up n see wa other issues it have...

but one question, on the instrumental panel rite, it have a screen showing u various indications such as mpg, engine temp, and when to service etc rite, so in this lancer it have dat service required indication not sure of the correct name jus callin it from off my head, so was wondering if I happen to do engine oil, transmission oil, oil filter and air filter change, will dat indication go away?...or do I have to go bak by dat company again whcih I duckin entirely from now?

trvs · Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2009 12:11 am Post subject:

No it is controlled by you. just ignore that service indicator.

acmilan11 · Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2009 7:18 am Post subject:

ok but ent it does recommend a certain mileage after u service it that when it is expected to service bak later on? does that change when u do it urself or co. hav to change that for u?

trvs · Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2009 9:44 am Post subject:

. It dose it recommend automatically. You have to adjust it yourself. You have to hold down the "info" button to reset it.

It's just a reminder, just like if you set one on your pc or cell phone.

acmilan11 · Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2009 9:55 am Post subject:

o ok...so no need to carry da lancer bak by company again...coolz.. Very Happy
