Hi Guys, anyone got the part number for the m-filter, just spoke to mitsi on phone probably better off ringing the samaritans. It will save me a 30 mile drive just to show them a picture of one.

Hi Guys

I seem to be having the same problem as one or two other members. From a cold start the engine runs like a dream. If I get her up to operating temperature and switch her off for 15mins to an hour I can only get to 3000rpm and then the revs bounce around there and she loses power and just cant get past the 3000rpm. After taking my foot off the acelerator and pushing it up to 3000rpm again a few times it will sudenly jump free of this limit and shoot off like nothing has happened and drive perfectly until I swithch the engine off and have to warm start it again. I have had the mitsubishi dealers (aka dealers) change the micro filters, in tank pump assembly (complete with all filters and with a price tag of 800 quid) and I am still having this problem. On top of this the GDI light isnt working anynmore (seems to be intermittent as it works when I do a long trip). Any ideas or options on what else to check would help as the dealers are now lost at what else to change and bill me for. The engine managment light does not come on there is no error code so they are lost!

Cheers
Julian

Hello!
I am from Spain and first of all sorry for my English.
I'm a proud owner of a petrol model. 3.5 gdi V60 (Mk3)
But I have two problems with it.
I have the same symptoms going on and off the GDI ECO light. The car jerks around 3000 - 4000 rpm.
First, micro filters. I bought a standart filter to put it inline.
I doubt if I have to remove two micro filters from the high pressure pump or I have to replace them for new other.
I don’t know if this light is a result of the failure by micro filters.
Or it is other failure.
My second problem is the other day the light came on low oil level. I have ridden with it only 3500 km and before that, level oil was ok. Oil stained the top notch of the rod.
The car does not leak oil. It is stopped three days from this alarm and there is no oil stain below it.
I have no idea if it is normal that after so little mileage turns the warning light.
Thank you very much for all your help

I wanted to put some links but I have not yet permit

Hi all.

My GDi issue is exactly the same as Julian explain. When starting from cold it is all good, even when it reaches operations temp.
BUT... As soon as i stop the engine and restart it stumbles a little on idle and will not pass 3000rpm.
Then after 10-15min like this i make several kickdowns and eventually it is like being shoot from a rocket, all cyl fires up and after this she is running good again until i switch her of and start it again.

I have now changed the sparkplugs, the 2 microfilters i HP pump , In tank filter.

I have also checked my TPS sensor and it seams to be Okay. (Not fully sure)

JULIAN, ALBS72: how Did you find the problem with the TPS sensor?? Was it all dead or did it show deadspots??

Cheers/
Christian

Hi I have been reading this post carefully as I am having the same troubles, my question is what would happen if the micro filter was removed and left out and an inline filter put in making the canging far more user friendly? would the ecu know????????
Regards
Andy

Roodini · Posted: Thu May 01, 2014 11:13 Post subject: poor running

ok I have changed the micro filter and it was straight forward thanks to all the info, many thanks for that but my 3.5 GDI is still running like a bag of poo. the codes are now 0136 & 0141, both point towards the lambda sensor. so I will change them/it as I can only find the 1.
Regards
Andy

Hi people,
My 3.5 started playing up a few months ago so I began researching the symptoms which brought me here. I ordered the 3 parts associated with the filter problem and hey presto.......my engine ceased!

So I'm left with the 3 parts sat here doing nothing. If anybody needs them then I'm happy to forward them on at cost price. The most expensive part was the tiny rubber washer at about £7.
Call it £25 all inclusive of postage for the tank filter, o ring and tiny filter.
