Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

I guess the white smoke would be unburnt fuel. I would definitely change glow plugs. They are expensive but worth it!

Maybe it’s loosing its prime? Check that all the fuel lines are tight.

Wd40 the ignition

Where do you live? I would definitely be worried about the kms. Seems way too low. Hopefully the condition of the van matches the km. A good thing to look at is where the bolts are for the gauge pod. See if there’s any pry marks. The only thing I would worry about is the engine and fuel pump. Everyt...

I heard the frames rust out. I would definitely look at the frame underneath and the roof. I would also get there early to see if it starts ok in the cold. ( make sure he doesn’t pre warm it before you get there)

I guess it all depends where you live? I use riding sun and japanoid.

I have 1 in my ice box. I doubt u can make ice with it. I doubt I will part with it unless the price is too good.

I would only buy a diesel. Better resale value, better everything.... maybe not starting in the cold

Have you been using a fuel additive? I have had my Delica for over 12 years and never had an issue with the injection pump( knock on wood).
I have been using stanadyne lubricity.
I have done the timing belt 4 times. I guess it sucks because it takes around 4 hours to do everything.

Have a look at the muffler.

I tried turning the o/d off going up cypress bowl road and I didn’t find it helped at all. I watch my egt like a hawk and found the temp rose with the rpm high or low. Obviously it goes up the more I step on the gas pedal. If you don’t have an egt gauge I would be careful as you are probably well pa...

You can always turn your rad cap on 1/2 way and drive it like that. This way it doesn’t pressurize your system.

Was your a/c button out? I had the same problem only the engine would make a horrible sound with the a/c button in. The system low pressure shutoff would prevent the compressor from running without freon. I had to take my Delica to Anglo air conditioning in Vancouver and it was around 800$ for every...

I’m in the process of buying an L400 and it has the starting problem too where it will die if it’s not warmed up enough. I’m wondering if the front seal is an easy job and how much it costs to do it yourself or get a shop to do it? I have done the head gasket on my L300 so I have some mechanical abi...

I had an elgrand that did the same thing after driving in 4x4. It stopped rolling eventually but I always used the parking brake on a hill. Other forums say it’s the park pin that’s broken. The only solution on the other forums was to repair the transmission.
