My 2014 Mitsubishi ASX is revving up to 1000rpm in Park and it will not reverse at all
It sounds like there’s something pretty major wrong inside the transmission. The lack of drive in reverse is allowing the engine to 'flare' (rev up) because there’s no load on the engine when this happens.
But before you do anything else, check the level of transmission fluid in the gearbox to make sure it’s not low. A low fluid level can cause these symptoms, too, so you need to rule out the easy stuff first.
My 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander with 2.2-litre diesel engine is showing an engine overheating warning
If the warning is being shown when the engine is first started (and therefore, patently not overheating) the fault is likely to be with an engine sensor that tells the computer the engine temperature. This model is known for this fault.
However, if the engine really is overheating, the possible causes are many and could be a stuck thermostat, a blocked radiator, a leak in the cooling system, a failed EGR valve, a failing water pump, or perhaps even something less obvious like a blown head gasket.
So the first step is to determine whether the engine really is overheating or not and go from there. An experienced mechanic will tackle each possibility in turn, but make sure they’re aware of the sensor problem with this model.
My 2023 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is using a lot more fuel than I expected, why is this?
I’d agree that 13.3 litres per 100km is a bit of the high side, but to put it into perspective, you need to forget about the factory claim of 8.0 litres per 100km. That figure is determined by a laboratory test, not real-world driving and rare indeed is the vehicle that can match its test figure with its real-world number.
I would expect a number closer to 11 litres per 100km for this vehicle, but there are a lot of variables at work here. For instance, does the vehicle have a roof rack? Have you fitted a bull-bar? Does the vehicle roll on standard sized wheels and tyres, or are they taller, aftermarket tyres which increase rolling diameter and throw the standard gearing out?
The latter – in particular – can affect fuel consumption in a huge way, as can how you drive the car. High speeds or urban driving will also rapidly increase fuel consumption. If you’re still concerned, have the vehicle tuned to see if that makes a difference.
