Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

Hey everyone! Well I've bben kinda active around here but wanted to make my own intro page for fun as I'm sorta new.

Well here goes...
My name is Kyle, Have horrible grammer/spelling when typign fast or not checking and currently drive a currently broke 1991 Audi 90 Quattro 20v that I lvoe to bits but hate as its not working and everything is going south....As its German... And old. But here she is with ohhh probably somewhere over 300XXX kms on the clock. Couldnt tell ya for sure cause the Odo. broke when the first owner had it. But I can tell you the AWD is amazing, 3rd gear isnt there anymore. No wokring heater fan, a recent developed short has cause the trip computer, cig lighter, and radio not to work and keeps poppin fuses... FML. COntrol arm bushings are shot, neeeeed front rotors and pads soon but cant find and more electrical ngihtmares galore!

OH and she isnt running. Distributer looks ok but apperntly i was told by another forum that some pin in the flywheel when goodbye on me....
Also I forgot that the exhaust rusted so i welded my stright thru magnaflow muffer on and its pretty mcuh a straight pipe! FML especially without my radio...

FML Someone please get me into a delica. PLEASE XD just talk the bank into loaning a 18 y/o a bunch of money! Easy now days right?

Anyways Pics before I continue to rant about my Love/Hate realationship with my awesome 7000 rpm redline 5 cylinder rallycar for the roads extrodinare!

And the Color is know as Lago blue Sexy huh?

But yea Im really hopeing to get into a Deli! And that one of the memberes here is selling his L300 for cheep so Fingers crossed I can get my stuff together.

I have to say you guys are extreamly friendly here and thats wonderfull to see in a forum!

Keep it up =D

Kyle.


I just looked it over and wow my spelling sucks, I blame the keyboard ;D

Kyle,

I would take a look at Desmond's 92. 6 bills isnt a bad price.

Cheers
Gregg

Woaaa 6g isnt bad at all!

I was looking at Storm80y's 92 super exceed as he will be leaving canda soon also. (I guess -50c just makes alot of people go F*&#$ This!)
He wants 8g and it looks to be pretty prestine!

Ha Im a newbie but could you compare the two for me XD They both seem relitivly the same but I do know the timing belt was replaced at 95k on Storms van and thats very appealing! (did my timing belt on my car... holy... never again)

andddd desmond's


I Dont know where the problem area's with these vans are. Any info would be nice.

HI Kyle:
Problems area's include:

Timing belt w tensioner
Balancer drive belt w tensioner
Rad flushing
old rad hoses
Injection pump seals
Glow plug& controller issues
Sticking EGR Valves (I think remove it but not everyone agrees)
Water pump issues (cavitation holes in back plate common)
Bad thermostats
Loose frame bolts (just retighten them)
AC issues
Headlight issues (stock lowbeams suck)

When you think about the age of these vans its not surprising that we are running into the problems seen here. I'm sure there's stuff
I missed but if you buy a van thats had all or most of this looked after you will be ahead of the game. Service records from CVI on
the mainland or CC Auto's on the island would help if you buy one on the coast. In Alberta I haven't heard any one say where the
best service is to be found. Good luck with your search and remember L300's look way cooler.

You remind me of almac.

Welcome and hope you find the one that suits you best.

If you're used to your quattro all-wheel drive, you will love the L400 as it has the best of both worlds full-time all-wheel drive with selectable part-time true 4x4 high and low.

The L300 does not have the all-wheel drive option.

Falco's right.

The L300 drives just like a VW vanagon/westy while the L400 drives like a mid-sized newer pickup except it's quite a bit higher.

Visibility is excellent in both.

They are very different vehicles.

Pros and cons for both.

Just keep in mind that Audi allwheel drive fun you're used to is only available on the L400's.

I prefer the driving position of the L300 cabover but do not like the lack of power and many things that are standard on L400's.
