Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, master cylinder, or calipers, leading to reduced braking efficiency.
Brake fade
Continuous use of brakes, especially under heavy loads, can cause the brake fluid to overheat, reducing braking power.
Worn brake pads or rotors
Over time, brake pads and rotors wear out and need replacement to maintain effective braking.
Overheating
V-shaped engines can sometimes have cooling issues, especially if the radiator or water pump is not functioning properly.
Oil leaks
V6 engines, like the one in the Montero, can develop oil leaks from valve covers, oil pan gaskets, and other seals.
Timing belt failure
The 1990 Mitsubishi Montero's V6 engine relies on a timing belt, which can wear out or break if not replaced at recommended intervals.
Fuel system issues
Older vehicles can develop problems with the fuel pump, fuel injectors, or fuel filter, leading to poor engine performance.
Electrical problems
Aging wiring and connectors can lead to various electrical issues, including problems with the ignition system, sensors, and lighting.
Exhaust system rust
Older vehicles, especially those exposed to moisture and road salt, can develop rust and holes in the exhaust system.
Suspension wear
The suspension components, such as bushings, ball joints, and shocks, can wear out over time, leading to a rough ride and poor handling.
Transmission wear
If the transmission fluid is not regularly changed, it can lead to wear and tear on the transmission components, causing shifting problems.
Vacuum leaks
Older engines may develop vacuum leaks, which can cause rough idling, stalling, and poor fuel economy.
