WOF tips

During WOF inspections, particular attention is typically paid to brake performance, tire condition (tread depth and sidewall condition), lighting (headlights, taillights, brake lights, indicators), and structural integrity (rust, damage). Ensuring these areas are in good working order will help your Delica pass its WOF.

About the Mitsubishi Delica 4G63 Van (1994-1999) RWD Petrol 2.0L - Variant 1

Your Mitsubishi Delica Base is a practical and versatile vehicle, known for its functionality. Keeping it well-maintained is key to dependable performance. Let's look at some key areas:

Brakes: Regular brake inspections are crucial for safety. Listen for unusual noises like squealing or grinding when braking, which could indicate worn brake pads or rotors. Ensure your brake fluid is at the correct level and is changed according to the manufacturer's recommendations as aged brake fluid can cause problems within the braking system.

Filters: Maintaining clean filters is vital for engine health and efficiency. Regularly replacing your engine air filter ensures optimal airflow to your engine. Cabin air filters help keep the air inside your Delica clean and free of dust and pollen, improving passenger comfort. Fuel filters ensure clean fuel reaches the engine's injectors, preventing potential blockages and maintaining engine performance. Following the recommended replacement intervals for these filters will contribute to the longevity of your Delica.

Suspension: A well-maintained suspension system provides a comfortable ride and ensures proper handling. Pay attention to any unusual noises like clunking or squeaking when driving over bumps. Also, watch for excessive bouncing or swaying, which could indicate worn shocks or struts. If you notice any of these signs, it's a good idea to have your suspension system inspected by a qualified mechanic.
