Disadvantages of the Mitsubishi 6A11 engine
Engine maintenance is made extremely difficult by the engine compartment’s compact design;
The timing belt is supposed to be replaced every 90,000 kilometers, but it frequently breaks sooner; the costly idle speed regulator frequently malfunctions here; the heat exchanger will rust, burst, and start to leak if antifreeze is not changed for an extended period of time;
You will undoubtedly turn the liners if you don’t keep an eye on the oil level.
