The Official CS Lancer Thread!

[beetee]

good day folks,
i'm interested in purchasing a 2010 Lancer,similar to the one posted below.

I've noticed that these vehicles are selling for $80-90,000 and it seems a good buy.


Questions-
1- Is the vehicle economical.
2- What type of fuel- super/premium
3-Maintenance cost
4- Smooth Ride?


Any other advice is greatly appreciated.

thanks guys.

All belts inclusive of timing belt, all seals including spark plug seals and gasket, and water pump with gasket changed over the weekend.

Spark plug seal kit. Bought at Mathura Auto Parts in St. James. Cost was like $130. On the packaging, it says this kit can be used on the 4G13 too. Don't know it can work on the 4G15. It didn't specify that, but I would assume it can.



Gates Water Pump. Purchased at Automotive Supplies Company/Ausco, Charles Street POS. Cost: $239.40 plus vat.



Gates Timing belt bought at the same place. Cost was $121.87.


All these parts were bought for a 2005 CS3 Lancer GLX, 4G18 engine.

4g15is twin cyam bhai. The seals totally different

[turbo_beast369]

^^^aye the CS2A non GDI comes single cam eh....it carries the same rocker gaskets and plug seals as the 4G18

[BrotherHood]

Those RORO CS2s with the longer front bumper that being sold now, are those not non GDI 4G15s?
If yes, then those are single cam.

GDI men, radiator top hose replacement. looking at getting one but no where seems to carry this.
CS2a radiator hose is longer than the cs3 and is s shaped with a bigger bore at the radiator and a smaller one leading into the thermostat housing.
Zeroone, mr idlemind aka geh rich & switch,anyone with advice, it would be appreciated.

[ZeroOne]

bring it in from online: http://www.amayama.com/search/?q=MR450230

or check trinidad hoses on Mucurapo rd.

I dont think that hose has different diameters at both ends though.

[turbo_beast369]

turbo_beast369 you have pics of the retro fit? and how much it cost?

I can't remember the exact figure but maybe around $1500 because I already had an HID kit installed with a HI/LO beam controller

[ZeroOne]

nissan4life your right, the end that fits on the radiator is bigger than the end that fits on the engine

Lower radiator hose is MR450231

Hearing a noise like old metal while driving up hill and sometimes on flat as well anyone ever know what it might be

Your engine could be pinging. Causes are wrong or bad quality gas. If you are using super, try premium. Look on the gas tank lid to see the required octane rating of gas you should be using.
If you are using the correct octane of gas, try filling up at newer gas stations that have double filtered gas.

I have never used super in my car, should I do anything to fix it before I try a new gas station

Use an octane booster, fuel treatment etc, and try a new gas station.

^^^been using super with my 4G18 for years, no problem.

What i do is fill up premium and add a fuel treatment once a month, never got any pinging

BTW octane boosters are a waste of money, as it only raises the RON by 0.1 so it's actually cheaper to use premium instead of a booster...

[fras]

I think over a period of time the ecu makes long term adjustments for super... So using premium once a month might be spinning top in mud! I also use to full once per month with premium, now i just use liquimoly injector cleaner!

4G18 is tuned for premium, but super could be used!

[BrotherHood]

Three and a half years now is straight Super in my CS3A 4G18. A monthly Redline Complete Fuel System Treatment and I good to go. Never ping. No engine problems.

Use fuel treatment all the time so would try the booster

Would sound stop immediately?

Not all are created equally

[Ted_v2]

Anyone using a aftermarket Fuel pressure regulator in their vehicle?
Im getting a flat spot around 3k almost like a dead peddle, so its either above 3k or below.

did a tune up recently, plugs ect, still trying to figure it out.
4g15 dohc.

would a dirty throttle body cause this?
