The Official CS Lancer Thread!

im not sure about the reservoir since you driving manual.

I have a CS2 front bumper however the bracket that the headlight on the driver side sits on is damaged.

However it can be repaired by a good straightener or someone who is good at making moldings (side flairs etc)

Alternatively the bracket that the headlight sits on can be ordered on-line, that would help straighten the bumper and make it almost like new. (so I was told)

Hmmm, now I'm having another issue, the other day flushed my radiator and replenished the radiator as well as the coolant reservoir with new coolant, today I check, the coolant in the reservoir is gone, but I can't spot a leak....any idea? Thanks

[BrotherHood]

Did you start the car with the radiator cap off to let the air bubbles come out after flushing? The air takes the place of fluid inside the radiator. You would have then had to top up the radiator.

[turbo_beast369]

Nidish normally the clutch master cylinder feeds off the brake master cylinder reservoir so there isn't any separate clutch fluid reservoir

[Ted_v2]

wut he said.

theres also maybe your clutch is cable operated.
I doubt but still check

Yep, the thing is after I purchased the car, the reservoir was dry, so I thought the previous owner didn't fill it with coolant, so I flushed the whole system and put new coolant, and after like 2-3 weeks, when I check coolant yesterday, the reservoir is dry again, so maybe the problem was there before I bought the car. And I did remove cap and and start the car and topped it until it was full and also put coolant to where the max indicator is on the reservoir.

Yep mate, I think I got it, in auto tranny there's separate clutch and brake fluid reservoir, In manual tranny it's One reservoir for both brake and clutch?

Happy New Year everyone.


That is some extreme coolant loss there Nidish. That isn't normal. Check to see if that reservoir bottle has a leak.

So why is the light on the spoiler on the bumper always on? Even when the lights on the car off?

[jason1984]

Something to do with a sensor under the brake pedal, think idlemind had that problem cant remember the details.

Also now the brake lights don't light up now when you mash brakes. I wondering if is some kind of electrical problem.

[ZeroOne]

sensor/switch under brake pedal causes that too

Well, the mechanic told me to change the radiator cap. Let's hope for the best. Btw what is the size of the rear speakers on the CS3? Is it 6.5 or 6.75? And will 6.5 speakers bolt in directly?

[Dave]

6.5 will bolt right in

Yea look behind the brake pedal and see how it operates with someone at the back telling you when the lights are on/off when you mash and release the pedal. Best to see it with a car that's functioning ok and you will see what's wrong with yours.

CS Lancer dashboards interchangeable?
Want to put a CS5 Wagon dashboard, double din console and temperature controls on a CS3

[ZeroOne]

you cant replace manual ac controls with the electronic ones.....unless you converting the entire ac system

[DJ Anand]

Guys need some assistance. My CVT tranny on my CS3 lancer behaving funny. When accelerating, there is a very slight "jerking" until it smoothes out at higher speeds. I changed fluids but no improvement. Tranny was replaced by the last owner a few months ago. Got the car with this problem. Help.

Can the non CVT transmissions bolt up on my 4G18 engine? What would be the modifications?

[Nidish]

Hey guys about 2500kms ago when I changed my 4 new rims and 4 new dunlop sp 600 tyres, I did wheel rotation and wheel alignment and my problem of steering wheel vibrating(over 120km/h) was gone, but now when I do over 120km/h, it starts to vibrate, any idea what's the problem? Thanks

[ZeroOne]

could be a bad tyre, when last you balance?

Is this jerk felt upon pressing and releasing the accelerator alone?
Or is it felt during continuous smooth acceleration with foot on the pedal?

[DJ Anand]

It is felt during continuous smooth acceleration with foot on pedal.

[Ted_v2]

Shoulda keep the ck. Boydan

[BrotherHood]

Does anyone have the dual or triple gauge pocket that fits below the temperature controls? It replaces that pocket or CD player, depending on which model you have.
I want to relocate some gauges.

Looks exactly like this.....

[Dave]

That's could be the MR cluster
EBay for that

[ZeroOne]

looks cool but i does put my ipod in that pocket

[BrotherHood]

Right now i guts out the OEM CD player and running some audio processing units in the space. Want to change the look. Gauges will be moved from A pillar. I find as of recent the dual gauge pod on my A pillar creates a blind spot. So it's a mod/relocation not only for aesthetics but safety too.

I will check Ebay etc.
