Known issues

As with any vehicle, the MITSUBISHI DELICA SPACE GEAR STARWAGON Base may experience certain common issues over time. Regular inspection and preventative maintenance are key to mitigating these:
• Suspension Wear: Due to its robust design and potential use in various terrains, components within the suspension system may experience wear. Regularly inspect springs, shocks, and bushings.
• Rust: Check for rust, specifically in areas prone to moisture accumulation, to help protect the structural integrity of the vehicle.

Maintenance Matters

Keeping your MITSUBISHI DELICA SPACE GEAR STARWAGON Base in top condition involves paying attention to several key areas. Regular maintenance can help prevent costly repairs down the road.

Wiper Blades: Ensure clear visibility with properly functioning wiper blades. Consider options for both the driver and passenger sides, as well as the rear wiper. Think about replacing the entire blade or just the refills depending on the condition. Front wiper packs and rear wiper packs offer a convenient way to replace all blades at once.

Clutch System: The clutch slave cylinder is a vital component of the manual transmission system. Inspect it regularly for leaks or damage to ensure smooth gear changes.

Power Steering: Maintain the power steering system with correct fluid levels to guarantee effortless steering and minimize wear on the power steering pump.

Engine Health: The harmonic balancer plays a critical role in dampening engine vibrations, preventing damage. The timing belt and camshaft work together for optimal engine performance, and should be inspected and replaced according to the manufacturer's recommended intervals. When addressing cylinder head issues, consider using a complete head set/valve regrind gasket set. And to prevent valve issues, consider replacing your valve spring shim valve.

Suspension System: Keeping your suspension in check can improve your Delica's road handling and ride comfort. U bolts, leaf spring lowering blocks, will affect your suspension so keeping these parts in check is important.
