Rashman4u Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 The question I have is whether any technicians are available to provide me any advice. It just took a few hours after I bought my 2014 Outlander for the top injector to pop. During my investigation, I found that one of the three bolts wasn't even an injector bolt, the other two were twisted, and the retention bolt on the right side was missing. This shambles because the dealer just got a chain and balance shaft. Were those bolts supposed to be changed out when the chain was being worked on? 103,00 miles According to him, they can be reused, according to his "Mitsubishi trained mechanic." Apparently, that included the one that wasn't an injector bolt. Much obliged in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br1anuk Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Since these are not stretch bolts, you can reuse them provided you get the correct part and keep it straight. But it seems like it hasn't followed the exact fitting sequence that is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashman4u Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 My research online indicated that these were tty bolts, so I appreciate your confirming that. Stretch or not, the assembly was a major letdown. It is a matter of trading standards because the dealer is also refusing to accept returns. Buddy, I really appreciate you sharing that information.

br1anuk Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Defeating the dealers is not an easy task. If you are in the UK, I hope a strongly worded letter referencing the Consumer Rights Act would be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashman4u Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 Sadly, no; he's firmly putting his foot down. What a shame, because that car is just stunning. I simply do not believe it at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
