Mitsubshi Canter Diesel problem?

[Dave J]

I had the same problem with 07 plate and after spending a fortune on different things. it turn out to be the injectors. it was one of the last things they tested. you can get them tested before replacing

couple of problems we had on an old canter.The tank breather got blocked with dust gunk and one of the flexible fuel hoses got a tiny hole in it that you could'nt see resulting in air getting into the fuel line.

Thanks for replys

I thought the truck had sorted itself out but has started going into safe mode alot about 4 times in the last 20 miles.

I have had a look for anything obvious like bad connections on electrics did not find anything,

Cant see any breather from the fuel tank would it be in the cap?

A friend plugged in a diagonstic and he seems to think the reading on the fuel injectors was wrong they were reading 1 and 2% on tick over he seemed to think they should be on 0 or minus when the truck is ticking over.

He managed to switch of the amber light but I think it will come back on next time the truck goes into safe mode.

I think the truck will have to go to the diesel mechanic for a through check.

I got a price from Mitsubshi for injectors £313 + vat each so am hoping its something else.

Is it likely a decent diesel mechanic would be able to find the problem or is there alot of change this pay the bill and go back a week later with the same problem only to change another expensive part.

 

The fuel gauge is reading a bit less then half a tank, its only gone into safe mode on half a tank or less is this just coincidence ?

Is it likely that injectors would need replacing on a truck thats only done 33000 miles (they are mainly intown miles alot of stop start)

Thanks

Did you change all the injectors and did you use Mitsubishi injectors?

What was the cost?

Thanks

Spoke to a guy today about this. He says try redex fuel treatment. Its VERY effective at cleaning coke from your engine and injectors. Mights save you a few a quid.

I should add that he is a garage owner for 30 or ,more years

if you could go without the truck for a few days get the injectors re furbished with new parts then they will be as good as new prob for less than new

or just get a set from here

I have watched this thread with interest as I know two people who have had similar problems with their canters.

Both ended up costing over well £1000 to sort out.

All the things mentioned in this thread were checked or changed and also something else that not been mentioned is a fuel delivery chip in the ecu that needed updating.

Just something else to consider. hope you get it sorted.

problems like this can be a nightmare to sort out.
