1992 Mitsubishi Galant review from Venezuela
"Reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch went out at 60000miles, its expected life of this component, i fixed myself costing me 350$ all components needed.
Water pump seal fail at 65000miles requiring timing belt and tensor pulley too, I do myself at home in a day, costing me 200$ in parts.
Idle speed problems at 70k miles, ECU of the car revealed 3 codes problems, but sensors and engine parts are fine, resulting in ECU malfunction some times.. finally I replace the computer at 400$ and the car ride like new.
The brakes are the same since new, but I'm resurface the front rotors twice.
General comments?
The paint and interior still like new over the years. The performance its only fine for this engine, but its reliable, soundless, comfortable like a more expensive car and cheap to maintain.
