This is a very well documented and known issue amongst evolution gen 9 owners. the oem timing belt bracket tensioner was made incorrect and causes the timing belt to rub against metal. there has already been a replacement bracket made that corrects the issue but i think this needs to be a recall. mitsubishi needs to own this one and make it right, it's a faulty part, initiate the recall. *tr
My acd hydraulic pump has failed. rpm's surge when accelerating and when at idle, i feel like it is putting my engine under extreme pressure. from my research i have seen this is a very common problem with the mitsubishi lance evolutions. there has been no recall, and what they are charging to get a new one which you can only get from the dealership is ridiculously expensive. something needs to be done about this! *tr
There is an active center differential pump failure that is becoming common in all lancer evolutions of this year. mine went out last year and i have been having to drive with it for a year now not knowing whether the differential is corroding at an accelerated rate of not. i did this because after i had my vehicle assessed they told it would be $2500 to replace. i researched online and found that this is a very common problem and can be dangerous therefore causing me to have to pay this absurd amount even with knowing that almost 60% of evo drivers have to deal with this same issue. *tr
