Mitsubishi Galant mid-size cars were produced in 1969–2012, during which time 9 generations of the model appeared. Although the production of the line was discontinued 5 years ago, the latest generation cars continue to be actively used, and the repair or replacement of the Mitsubishi Galant engine remains a popular service.

Features of Mitsubishi Galant engines

Different generations of Mitsubishi Galant cars were equipped with 4-cylinder in-line (I4) engines of the following series:

• Saturn (4G3) - gasoline with a volume of 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 liters with a capacity of 87 to 125 liters. With.;
• Astron (4G5/4D5). Model 4G52 - gasoline ICE volume of 2 liters with modifications with a capacity of 100 and 125 liters. With. A number of modifications of the 4D55 model are diesel atmospheric and turbocharged engines with a volume of 2.3 liters, with a capacity of 65 to 95 liters. With.;
• Sirius (4G6/4D6). Petrol 4G62 - 1.8 l, 4G63T - turbocharged, 2 l, 4G64 - 2.4 l, 4G67 - 1.8 l., 4G69 - 2.4 l, diesel - 4D65 - 1.8 l, 4D68 - 2 l .

Also on a number of models, 6-cylinder V-shaped engines (V6) were installed:

• 6A11 - 1.8 l / 133 l. With.;
• 6A12 - 2 liters, there were several modifications with different power - 143-148, 170-177, 197 liters. with., the most powerful in this line (237 hp) was an engine with a double turbine;
• 6A13 - 2.5 liters, 161-173 liters. With. and a model with a double turbine - 276 liters. With.;
• 6G72 - 3 l / 195 l. With. for the US market.

The most famous engines used on the Mitsubishi Galant are the 2-liter 4G63. From 1989 to 2003, various modifications of this engine were installed on Galant cars. Since 1987, production of DOHC versions with 2 camshafts has begun, engines with 1 camshaft (SOHC) continued to be produced until 1993. Turbocharged 4G63T variant in 1988–92 was used on the Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 and brought this model a number of victories in international rallies.

The 4G63 engine used MCA-Jet technology, the abbreviation MCA in Russian stands for "Mitsubishi Clean Air". This is how engines with reduced emissions of harmful substances were designated. The first MCA engine appeared in 1977, the 4G63 is a modified version. His distinguishing feature- the presence of a third small valve on each cylinder. These valves provided an additional flow of air into the combustion chamber, thereby achieving faster movement and complete combustion of the fuel-air mixture. After the advent of 4 valves per cylinder engines, the MCA-Jet system became obsolete, but it remained progressive throughout the decade.

At present, engines for Mitsubishi Galant of 8–9 generations are mainly in demand, their characteristics are shown in the table:

Typical problems, malfunctions and their causes

Mitsubishi engines of different series have different vulnerabilities. What kind of breakdown the owner will have to face depends on which engine is installed on the Mitsubishi Galant.

Sirius series (4G63, 4G64):

• often jams the balancing shafts, which leads to a break in their belt, such a breakdown can cause a break in the timing drive. The problem arises if the shaft bearings do not have enough lubrication. You can prevent it by buying high-quality oil and regularly monitoring its level. Belts also need revision and periodic replacement;
• supports (pillows) wear out quickly, which is manifested by increased vibration. Therefore, regular checks and replacement of pillows are necessary as needed, the left support of the Mitsubishi Galant engine mount is especially subject to wear;
• RPM fluctuates frequently at idle. This is due to contamination of the injectors, throttle valve, failure of the regulator idle move and temperature sensor. To prevent such a problem, you need to regularly clean the system and check the health of small components;
• after 50 thousand kilometers, hydraulic lifters may need to be replaced, they fail faster in turbocharged engines. The use of low-quality oil and its untimely replacement lead to accelerated wear of hydraulic lifters;
• the oil receiver of the pump in these models is located almost close to the crankcase wall. Therefore, a blow to the pan can cause deformation of the oil receiver, the pump will no longer receive oil and supply it to all moving parts of the motor. To prevent such situations, the crankcase protection of the Mitsubishi Galant engine will help.

Series 4G9 (4G93, 4G94):

• engine knock is usually associated with the wear of hydraulic lifters and is eliminated by replacing them, the use of high-quality oil prolongs their life;
• tendency to carbon formation and high oil consumption (popularly - zhor). As the mileage increases, oil consumption increases; to solve this problem, replacement of oil scraper rings and caps is required;
• floating speed is usually caused by a dirty filter fuel pump high pressure and throttle valve, they need to be cleaned;
• if the engine stalls when hot, the idle speed controller is most likely defective and needs to be replaced.

The 6G7 Cyclone V6 (6G72, 6G75) and 6A1 (6A13) series engines often have the same problems as the 4G9 inline 4-cylinder series - knocking, oil consumption, floating speed. They are caused by the same reasons, not only the wear of hydraulic lifters, but also turning connecting rod bearings. In general, V6 engines are more reliable than in-line engines, they have fewer "congenital" diseases, but due to their design they are less convenient to maintain. It is more difficult to change candles, and they need to be replaced often if the car is refueled Russian gasoline. Misfiring is often caused by deposits on the electrodes. It is also difficult to access the timing belt.

The main enemy of engines is low-quality fuel and lubricants. Engines with direct injection (GDI) are especially sensitive to dirty fuel. A common problem with this type of engine is contamination. engine oil soot. Soot is actively formed when the engine is running in transient mode. The channels through which the lubricant is distributed are clogged, soot enters the intake manifold and disables valves and spark plugs. If the intake manifold is not cleaned every 50–40 thousand km, the engine smokes, consumes more gasoline, and traction deteriorates. It is extremely important in engines with GDI to change the timing belt without waiting for it to break. Otherwise, pistons with a non-standard bottom will collide with the valves and deform them.

The main types of repair work

Mitsubishi Galant car engines may need to replace the following parts and consumables:

• hydraulic compensators;
• oil scraper rings and oil reflective caps;
• timing belt or chain, tensioner roller gaskets, rollers themselves;
• valve cover gaskets, cylinder head, engine seals, crankshaft, camshaft, engine filter, oil and fuel filters;
• idle speed controller, various sensors.

If the fuel or oil pump fails, it is not necessary to change it, you can try to repair it. A crack, for example, is brewed. When replacing spark plugs in V-engines, it is recommended to inspect the intake manifold flange and grind it if necessary.

With regular routine maintenance, cleaning, replacing consumables, using quality gasoline and oils, the Mitsubishi Galant engine can serve for a long time without major repairs. The fact that it needs major repairs is indicated by a combination of such signs:

• increased fuel and oil consumption;
• noise during engine operation;
• power drop;
• unstable turnover.

If the problems could not be fixed after optimizing the settings, repairs are needed, during which work such as:

• restoration of cylinder mirrors by boring or honing and selection of oversized pistons instead of native ones;
• replacement of piston rings, main and connecting rod bearings;
• if necessary - turning the crankshaft journals;
• valve maintenance;
• refurbishment of starter and alternator.

If the car owner can perform routine maintenance and minor repairs on his own, then it is better to entrust the major repairs to professionals. With a lack of qualifications and experience, even the Mitsubishi Galant engine diagram will not help to repair it without errors.

In parallel with the overhaul of the engine, it is recommended to repair and maintain the cooling system, replace hoses, drive belts, water pump, thermostat, cleaning and repair of the radiator. It may be necessary to replace the radiator of the cooling system, engine mountings, oil pump. Depending on the condition of the cylinder block, it is sometimes more cost-effective to change it entirely than to sort out and restore it. If more than 50% of the engine parts need to be replaced, it is easier and cheaper not to repair it, but to replace it with a remanufactured or contract one.

Buying a rebuilt engine is a rather risky decision, you need confidence in the qualifications of the master who was involved in the restoration of the unit, and in the quality of the parts that were used. The contract engine for Mitsubishi Galant from the Japanese autodismantling is more reliable. The Japanese do not overload their cars, fill them with high-quality fuels and lubricants, cars with low mileage often get into disassembly, and the resource of the engines removed from them is quite large. After removal and before sale, contract engines are tested at the stand.

Since the resource of a number of Mitsubishi Galant engines exceeds 400 thousand km, many owners of these cars do not have to deal with the need to repair or replace the motor at all. But we must remember that untimely oil changes, the use of low-quality gasoline, neglect of regular maintenance significantly reduces the life of even the most reliable engines.

Once upon a time, in the late 1980s years of Mitsubishi Galant was one of the most "sporty" sedans in its class. It offered steering rear wheels and powerful version turbocharged - VR4. Subsequent generations have become more comfortable-oriented, and interest in the model has dropped markedly. A brief revival occurred in 1997, when the eighth Galant debuted with an attractive dynamic appearance. True, the car itself was not so interesting.

The latest Galant does not look as bold as before. It is built on the Mitsubishi PS platform - shared with the Mitsubishi Endeavor and Eclipse.

Another Japanese sedan noticeably increased in size, which had a positive effect on internal dimensions. The width of the cabin has increased to 145 cm, and the space between the backs of the first and second rows - up to 94 cm. However, the rear sofa is not so spacious, but the three of us are cramped. Inside there are not enough materials more High Quality. Plastic looks cheap, besides, over time it begins to creak.

American versions received three more trim levels in addition to the base DE: ES, LS and sporty GTS. The SE (Sport Edition) trim replaced the GTS after a facelift in 2008. At the same time, the shape of the taillights also changed.

Six airbags and full power accessories are on the DE standard equipment list. The ES version features body-coloured moldings, exterior mirrors and door handles. Modification LS acquired a driver's seat with an electric drive. Automatic climate control was installed only in the GTS, all others were equipped with conventional air conditioning. Of the assistance systems, only ABS with electronic brake force distribution (except DE) is provided. The stabilization system was not installed.

As for security, the ninth Galant, according to the US Security Administration traffic NHTSA, earned four stars. The sedan received similar ratings from the IIHS Highway Safety Insurance Institute.

Engines

Versions DE and ES were equipped with a 4-cylinder 2.4-liter naturally aspirated (4G69) with a return of 160 hp, and LS and GTS - a 3.8-liter V6 (6G75) / 230 hp. (since 2008 258 hp). The Russian Mitsubishi Galant 9 was equipped exclusively with a 158 hp petrol four. Both engines have a timing belt drive with a replacement interval of 60,000 km.

4G69 is an extremely reliable unit. Problems with it arise solely through the fault of the owner, in particular due to untimely maintenance. Unlike its predecessor - 4G64, hydraulic lifters are not provided here. Therefore, after every 100,000 km, it is necessary to adjust the valve clearance. It is carried out with the help of adjusting screws.

After 150-200 thousand km, oil may appear in the candle wells. It is easy to eliminate the leak, and about 500 rubles will be needed for a set of new gaskets. After a while, the valve stem seals can “suffocate”, which contributes to an increase in oil consumption. For replacement, it is better to use the help of a car service.

Many owners over time begin to notice a low oil pressure warning light burning at full heat. It's all about the sensor itself or its contacts. In the latter case, the disease manifests itself in wet weather or during rain. Moisture gets on the connector pins. It is better to replace the sensor - from 300 rubles.

After 150-200 thousand km, the starter, generator, oxygen sensors and a clogged catalyst will require attention. Most likely, due to the vibrations that have appeared, the rear engine mount will also have to be replaced - from 3,000 rubles.

Top versions with a 3.8-liter V6 are extremely rare in Russia and there is little information on them. The V6 is the same that was installed in the Mitsubishi Pajero IV and Endeavor. There, the engine has proven itself with positive side. True, there are isolated cases of loosening of the screws securing the dampers in the intake manifold and subsequent entry into the cylinders. And after 150-200 thousand km, due to the natural aging process, attachments begin to gradually fail.

Transmission

Mitsubishi Galant 9 engines were aggregated only with a 4-speed automatic (F4A4B), which, in combination with the V6, provided the possibility of manual gear selection. In 2008, the V6 began to be equipped with a 5-speed automatic transmission. The machine is very reliable. The main thing is not to forget to update the oil in the box every 60,000 km.

After 100,000 km, owners often notice the appearance of small shocks. The disease does not progress, so you should not worry. Many machines have passed 250-300 thousand km without problems and repairs. By this time, the drive seals may need to be replaced.

It is worth noting that the automatic transmission, like many machines, does not like long slips. After such "exercises" Galant is often sent to the service due to problems with the box.

Chassis

Soft suspension absorbs most road bumps. MacPherson struts work on the front axle, and a multi-link design on the rear axle. Fortunately, the chassis elements are quite hardy. Replacing silent blocks or levers may be needed only after 150-200 thousand km. But shock absorbers can leak after 100,000 km. After 100-150 thousand km, wheel bearings are often required to be replaced (from 3,000 rubles for an analogue or 12,000 rubles for an original assembly with a hub)

After 150-200 thousand km, the power steering pump may buzz. Repair is usually not worth it. Much more reliable option with a replacement. The cost of a new pump is from 13,000 rubles.

The steering rack, as an example to many modern automakers, is durable. Knocks can appear only after 200-250 thousand km, and even then, only on individual copies.

Typical problems and malfunctions

The body is not prone to corrosion. However, when examining Galant, attention should be paid Special attention the inside of the doors, hood and sills. Sometimes red spots are found there.

Sometimes after 100-150 thousand km there are problems with the air conditioning compressor - it starts to make noise or howl. The reason may be both in the connection coupling (from 10,000 rubles) and in the compressor itself (from 65,000 rubles). Often, a problem node can be repaired, which is much cheaper.

Conclusion

Mitsubishi Galant does not suffer from any serious illnesses. Malfunctions are usually associated with age. True, in the case of repairs, you will have to fork out a lot - new original parts are often unreasonably expensive. Fortunately, there are plenty of substitutes on the market.

Mitsubishi Galant 9 body galvanization

Released back in 2003 and not re-released for a relatively long time, the Mitsubishi Galant 9 is still quite in demand, especially for Russian buyers. Despite being headquartered in Japan and manufactured in the US, it Russian market was one of the main consumers of Mitsubishi products, and you can still often find ninth generation cars on our roads.

The American version of the Galant, which always came out with the base DE (as large cars for the whole family are called in the West), also had additional modifications: LS, ES and a sports GTS.

The main characteristics of all models are preserved, the difference is only small cosmetic changes:

• equipment LS equipped with an electric seat, six airbags and full power accessories;
• sports version of the GTS it has a more powerful engine and climate control, while the rest are content with only air conditioning;
• ES has an improved design and a different painting.

After restyling, the GTS package was replaced by the SE version with a reshaped rear optics.

But the DE remains the main model, everything comes from its characteristics, and the demand for it is the greatest.

2 complete sets were delivered to Russia:

• 2.4 Instyle-AT;
• 2.4 Intense-AT.

Engines and gearbox

Mitsubishi has always been known for its hardware, not the appearance of the car. In the ninth version of Galant, everything remains as before, the quality will not let you down. All models have 4 cylinders in the engine, they differ only in volume:

• on DE and ES there is a 2.4 liter aspirated, the return is 150 hp. With.;
• on the LS and the sports GTS - 3.8 liter, but the return is different - 230 hp. with and 260 l. With.

The 3.8-liter unit is especially good, but it is quite difficult to find it in Russia. Of the minuses - you have to check and tighten the valve clearances a couple of times a month, although they hold better than some competitors. Candle oil may also leak, it is not difficult to eliminate this on your own.

The motor is good, but it is designed for a certain gearbox. The machine does not give much freedom for maneuvering. Although it will not work to do tricks on it, it is an ideal option for an amateur or a family man. In addition, the machine, coupled with the engine, will allow you to regulate and even reduce fuel consumption.

Galant Grunder

A year after the release of the Mitsubishi Galant 9, in 2004, the same company releases the Galant Grunder.

But the price has definitely been worked out - the design has been completely changed, sharpened for Japan, it is pleasant, it will not seem strange to the Russian eye:

• changed colors and quality of painting;
• there is a larger selection of colors;
• the interior has been changed - leather-covered seats are surrounded by chrome and wood.

Of the minuses - the power of the 2.4-liter engine is not much changed - 165 hp. With. The old machine remained, although some of the flaws in the management were corrected.

Despite the maximum degree of security shown in the report of the US Department of Highway Safety, this car was too expensive even for middle-income American families.

Advantages and disadvantages

Design and appearance has never been the most important aspect of the Mitsubishi Galant 9. People have always bought cars for build quality and convenience. Looking ahead: the latest generation does not deviate from the canons of the entire line, but there are some differences.

1. It's well put together big car, with a bulky body and spacious interior.
2. There are no problems with heat in it due to the good location of the air conditioner, which blows and rear seats.
3. In the driver's seat, everything is just as good - convenient control, an electric seat.

The only negative is a large number of buttons that will take some time to deal with, but experienced drivers will not be difficult.

Galant 9 feels wonderful on the road. The heavy landing and the automatic will keep the car from skidding, and if you are not a freshly minted Schumacher, this is an ideal choice. Yes, and you don’t have to spend much fuel on a long road - gasoline consumption is low due to not the most powerful engine.

Getting used to the location of the buttons and their number is easy, but getting used to the huge steering wheel is difficult. It is clearly not designed for a woman's hand, and a man may find it uncomfortable. To match the steering wheel, the same uncomfortable radio buttons are difficult to reach, and the design generally kills this desire.

Prices

Unfortunately, the 9th generation of Galant did not live up to expectations, and in 2012 the car was suspended. If you really want to buy it, you should look at secondary market.

Here are the approximate prices from online stores.

Mitsubishi Galant 10

The ninth generation Galant sold worse than the previous generation cars. No wonder the Mitsubishi Galant 9 was restyled twice, although the technical data remained almost unchanged.

Mitsubishi Galant 10 was scheduled for release a few years after the 2008 upgrade, but something didn't work out. However, it is too early to bury the brand - in 2015, the release of old models began again, and the development of new ones is also possible.

Mitsubishi Galant 9 is a high-quality, albeit controversial in terms of design, car. However, iron fully pays for its money. Another thing is that the car is not suitable for everyone - in some places it is inactive and overweight, it is hardly suitable for women.

Mitsubishi Galant is a mid-size business class sedan, the closest competitor to models Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Volkswagen Passat, Ford Mondeo and other D-class cars. In production since 1974. In various generations, the model was produced in sedan, hatchback and station wagon bodies. Until recently, Galant was offered on the market only as a sedan. In addition, he was considered the most accessible representative of this segment. In 2004, the ninth generation Galant debuted. In 2008, a restyled version was released, and in 2012, Galant production was completely discontinued due to low demand.
