Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to operate correctly. Leaks can cause a loss of pressure, leading to decreased braking performance.
Worn brake pads/rotors
Over time, brake pads and rotors wear down and need replacement to maintain effective braking.
Master cylinder failure
The master cylinder is crucial for generating the hydraulic pressure needed for braking. Failure can result in a complete loss of braking ability.
Engine misfires
A common issue in V6 engines, misfires can be caused by faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.
Timing belt issues
The 2002 Mitsubishi Montero's V6 engine uses a timing belt that requires regular replacement. Failure can lead to severe engine damage.
Overheating
V-shaped engines can be prone to overheating if the cooling system is not properly maintained. This includes issues with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat.
Fuel system problems
Multi-Point Fuel Injection (MPI) systems can develop issues with fuel injectors, fuel pumps, or fuel filters, leading to performance problems and reduced fuel efficiency.
Oil leaks
Common in older engines, oil leaks can occur from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or other seals and gaskets in the engine.
Crankshaft position sensor failure
This sensor is vital for engine timing and performance. Its failure can cause the engine to stall or not start at all.
