Timing chain failure reported on 2014 Outlander 2.3 diesel at 45,000 miles: D eveloped a knocking sound from the engine a week before the warranty ran out at is MoT. Could not book it in to the Mitsubishi dealer until 2 weeks later so out of warranty. T old they would strip the engine as they suspected it was the crankshaft or timing chain. They then submitted their report to Mitsubishi to check if the warranty would cover it. They said this would depend on the services and if these had been kept up to date. The car had 3 services (one a year) but because it had done 45000 miles it should have had 5 (one per 9000 miles). Apparently this is a known fault on high mileage police traffic patrol cars. But because of the missed service Mitsubishi refused to contribut to the £3,000 cost of repairing the engine.

Third generation Outlander unveiled at Geneva Motor Show
On sale in Europe from late 2012. Similar in size to the previous model, the 2012 Outlander followed a clear design brief where in true Mitsubishi fashion, key directions were for an “engineer’s car” with a “Solid – Safe – Simple” shape, blending substantial look with clean surfaces. Its 7 seat configuration with space for two small children in the rearmost seats continues.
High grade materials inside (padded surfaces, soft-touch finish, silver accents, gloss black appliqués…) gracing a dashboard designed for better driver concentration, including ergonomic steering wheel controls as well as high-resolution and easy-to-read instrument displays.
In Europe, the New Generation Outlander offered at launch the choice between two low impact engines (whether in 2WD or 4WD): 2.0 l MIVEC petrol or 2.2 MIVEC Clean Diesel (MMC’s own 4N14 engine) Depending on market, model, engine and specifications, Auto Stop & Go will be available, as well as an all-new 6-speed automatic gearbox.
As part of its novel technical package, the 2012 Outlander was also equipped with an “eco-friendly driving system” that notifies the driver when she/he is driving at maximum efficiency. Accordingly, the driver can choose to drive at maximum efficiency to enhance actual fuel consumption of the vehicle – availability according to model & market.
After the Geneva unveiling, the 2012 Outlander was launched first in Russia in summer 2012, prior to Europ (late summer 2012), Japan, Oceania, China and North America.
From 2013 in Europe, MMC also took advantage of the built-in possibilities of Outlander’s versatile architecture to add an EV-based plug-In hybrid powertrain - a fully integrated solution, based on MMC’s EV technology and making the best use of MMC’s extensive 4-Wheel-Drive expertise as well. When fitted to Outlander, the Mitsubishi Plug-in Hybrid EV system will allow for a range and very low emissions similar to that of the MITSUBISHI Concept PX-MiEV II (over 800 km and a target of below 50 g/km).
