2006 Mitsubishi L200 Animal from UK and Ireland - Comments

Turbo pipe has worked it's way loose 4 times in as many months. First time Mitsubishi road side assist 'fixed' it. I fixed it the second time. Third time the garage replaced the pipe. Fourth time a Mitsubishi roadside fixed it.

The problem is the jubilee clip works loose and the pipe disconnects causing major lose of power.

Other than the problem with the turbo pipe, very happy with the L200 animal. Seats 5 very well and plenty of room in the back for work 'stuff'

Good layout in the cabin and plenty of extras.

Wy don't you try doing the clip up tighter?

New shape Animal L200

We had one problem 1 week after purchase, and that was the jubilee click came totally off, and then a loss of power. We limped the car home, and road side assistance fixed the problem, but then we have had several problems with the vehicle misfiring. Mitsubishi have disconnected the power upgrade, which was 2 months ago, and still the vehicle is misfiring. The dealers are good, but after going into the garage 6 times with the same problem, it's becoming a pain. We would not now buy any automatic vehicle from Mitsubishi.

Has any one else had the same problem?

To the writer who would "not now buy any automatic vehicle from Mitsubishi." I am lost as to your reason for this decision. You are having a hose that slips off because of a poor clamp design and you are having a misfire, noticed after you apparently installed some sort of power-boosting device. Yet you somehow equate this to Mitsubishi unable to manufacture an automatic to your suit. Let me let you in on a reality in the automotive world. There are times when we embark on projects (no matter how justified, how guaranteed, how worth-it, or how explainable) that go wrong. And then cannot be correcting by removing whatever we added. Possibly this misfire is caused by a burnt valve or a broken piston, or a damaged injector nozzle. With diesels there is no ignition system so you are down to a mechanical or fuel supply issue. Good luck.

I have had similar problems

A jubilee clip failed on a hose, causing loss of all Auto fluid at high speed. Garage replaced clip refilled with Auto Fluid & Said there you go.

4 months later linkage failed. 1 month later Power Upgrade Failed & removed.

The last time they even stung me with the Car Hire fee after deciding not to look at the Car till the 4th day. They then then rang me up saying the part was available in a couple of days Xstock so I would have to pick up the Tab with no prior warning.

Customer Services did not want to know. They do not have the capacity to repair faulty vehicles as standard servicing comes 1st It is just bad luck if your car breaks down.

L200 Warrior 2.5 GLS TD 55plate, 40000 miles; loss of power due to faulty fuel pump, overheating due to thermostatic valve needing replaced.

My dealer was a disgrace; Mitsubishi do not want to know when something goes wrong. You will not be issued with a courtesy vehicle for more than two days if your vehicle has been serviced other than with a Mitsubishi approved dealer, leaving you without a vehicle until yours is repaired, even though you have Mitsubishi parts fitted as replacements.

I would not buy another Mitsubishi Warrior. I am not impressed with the overall performance. The head man in the service department says there are major problems with the Warrior - springs breaking and the big ends going on them.

I have a 05 L200 2.5 engine sounds like a bag of nuts and bolts, can get to 3k revs and then takes a week to get to full revs, this is stationary. Have checked all vacuum pipes, inlet manifold for leaks.

Anyone got any ideas, turbo seems to be fine, no excessive oil and play on fins.

Your boost sensor is faulty, replace it and problem solved.
