Drive Belt Recall for 2008-2011 Lancers

[kay christensen]

my car is on the recall list but waiting on the part to come in

By the attachments in this thread it only says that they will replace the belt and check the pulley.

I assume they will replace the pulley only if damaged or excessive wear caused by the original belt.

yeah I think I will just go with metal pulleys and a gates belt to be sure. for the NA or stock-ish cars this recall is a good idea though IMO

I'm getting pulley replaced too. What drama. My wife was hanging clothes to dry and 2 yr old son locked her out and she was cooking on the stove. Lucky they lend me the ute. Now I get to use it for another 2 days waiting for pulley

Got my letter yesterday.

You'd think any signs of belt wear would be detected during routine services, whether by authorised Mitsubishi service centres or reputable service centres/stations?

My last two services by PM here in Victoria lists belt check and adjust tension as required.

I'll look at getting it done next month sometime.

Yea I dont know as Im a new owner so havent received the proper letter and when I spoke to the service girl she didnt mention anything about having to order parts in so hopefully it all goes well.

Haven't recieved a letter, so went in to my local Mitzi this morning she is booked in for the 16th, not keen on leaving it with them, but hey better safe then sorry I suppose :/
I presume the belt is the same between the Na and the turbo variations ??
The dealer seems to think so

[Speedie]

I received my one for the VRX still waiting on the RA one

[Digital]

Mine's booked in for next Tuesday... no mention of ordering in parts tho?

No loan cars available too, PITA

[sleeper]

yep, with my dealer u have to make sure they have the parts, i learnt that lesson when i presented the car for a pre booked sst oil change only to be rung up later that the didnt have any oil, and then they told me that they had a full card for 3 weeks, come back after that, but after i told them the error of theyre ways i got it down to 48 hours, just stupid.

mine was done yesterday with the 75k service, dropped it off at 9:30 and picked it up at 5:30. All up only $291 which I though was pretty good for the 5 year service.

[VRX_08]

Mine is getting down next Wednesday now!

[tencents]

Well I rang up yesterday and they said they had parts. Just got a call today and parts still not in. Could, maybe and might get car back tomorrow. Wtf knows with these so call Mitsubishi technicians.
