I think that is the effect of turbo lag. Perfectly normal IMO. Yes, the Fort has a quicker spooling turbo, I just dunno if it's got a high or low pressure turbo, but better response in the low to mid range gears.

just my :twocents:

Mga Sirs, how to provide back the audible alarm sound in our monty's doors lock and unlock features. My alarm sound is not audible now but still signal lights blink once on unlock and twice on lock / armed. I need to put back the audible sound upon unlock and lock....

i need to have a audible alarm plus the signal light blinks as per normal alarm set-up....

i guess, i press number of times wrongly (blue button) after cash wash when i tried to reactivate my monty alarm.. dinis able ko kasi ang door alarm prior to car wash. Please help..

....

Happy new year to all!!!!

Every time I turn the steering wheel, may naririnig akong tunog. Hindi naman malakas but you can here it if you lower the volume of the audio system.

been backreading this thread. my dad is planning to buy an everest this coming May ata and I'm convincing him to buy na lang a monty.

anyways, may nabasa ako dito sa thread na umaatras daw ang monty niya kapag nasa pataas?

They nicknamed the new column 'magnum' since they say it is the ultimate fix.
I was out of there before noon.

Kudos to Mitsu Pit Crew!

Just wonderin', bro, if it's the "ultimate fix", how come they don't install this during assembly time so nobody would have this problem anymore?

In my previous Strada, I had mine replaced at 25k kms and it seemed to have recurred at 40k kms. before I sold it.

Help! Ako naman my alarm is working when its locked and unlocked, pero my signal lights are not blinking. I didn't even bother to disable my alarm since brandnew. I just noticed the signal lights stopped blinking, but tumutunog pa din yung alarm. Haay.. anyone encountered this problem too?

yung pinalit kaya eh yung din klase as in same ng pagkagawa o quality o manufacturer? kung ganon sigurado ganyan nanaman ang kwento after ilang thousand sa odo hanggang matapos na ang warranty...

sa pagkakaintindi ko pag may ganyan issue recall ang dapat gawin hindi kung sino lang may masira siya lang ang papalitan..

Yan na po ang simula ng problem sir, lalakas yan after sometime. Have it warrantied na.

Asked them the same thing and they said that the default steering column is from the Thailand plant so they can't change it when the units arrive here unless the customer files for a replacement when they experience the problem.

For me they should just simply follow Arnold Swarzenegger and do Total Recall bwehehehe.

Ehem

Hindi naman daw lahat ng units ganyan but they do notice the rising statistic for this particular defect.

The service guys in Diamond Fairview called me yesterday, asking me there if there is a sound if I turn the steering wheel. I said "YES it does!". They are offering to replace the steering column right away, but I told them, "isabay na lang sa 5k km PMS". The good thing with Mitsubishi is they are aware of the problem of our Montero Sport, and they do not tell us stupid reasons on the cause of the problem. Unlike Toyota which does not acknowledge the defect of the Thailand-built D4-Ds, and tell stupid reasons why the D4-Ds choke.
