haha mine lagi teruk, its the mivec model, the timing belt is even longer! i just dont understand why the tensioner cost so much, should be the same piece as the perdana v6 (i think) which is around 200

Yours is the MIVEC model?

yup engine 6a12 mivec car... errrr xtaulah

**i do have one concern though, the belt seems to whine abit now @_@ do new belts do this?? seems abit weird to me.... is there such thing as a run in period for these belts??

needs adjusting I think. Does the 6A12 have a belt tensioner as well?

If not mistaken, even though hydraulic it must be fitted exactly so that when when the belt loosen the hydraulic will tighten up, but if fitted loose then max out probably still loose. Maybe can go back to the mechanic ask him to check.....

Probably improper seating of the belt then. Go back claim warranty, aircon belt normally no need to pay la.

changed all 3 belts, could be one of the other 2, later kene go diagnose again, thank god the 2 aux belts are easy to access, cant say the same about the timing belt :eviltongue:

I remembered my gates timing belt set was around rm350 couple of years ago, if now maybe rm380++ or maintain the original price,
set comes with timing belt + 2 tensioners + 5 oil seals.

He bought separate and tensioner alone cost more then your whole set.....

Errr actually dont know if i kene chop or not, but was panicking and wanted to get the problem rectified asap (kenot tahan my car sounding sick)

timing belt + installation + oil + powersteering fluid was around 1.2k+ (again, it was for the mivec version, MD211195)(*yeah its a kit, both bearings and all the other parts)
tensioner was 550 (this was super shocking i thought it used the same tensioner as a perdana)
power steering hose was 300 (modified, cant find originals)
other 2 belts were about <200

cant remember exact figures, but if mahal, ohh welp, learn from experience

 

[humongousgravy]

can't be THAT expensive right? most part for mivec is it similar to v6? macam kena chop je...

For Mitsubishi older models (90s era especially), anything EVO or MIVEC related, the price is higher than normal counterparts. Imagine my ride's oil pump alone is RM 1.3k omgwtfbbq
