Mitsubishi · Oil Cooler Hose in Mitsubishi Lancer Diesel Sedan passenger car
Due to the improper design of the oil cooler hose, the clearance between towing hook and the engine oil cooler hose is not sufficient. This could lead to possible damage of the engine oil cooler hose and the engine oil cooler itself, resulting in insufficient cooling of the engine oil. The above condition may cause insufficient lubrication of the diesel engine, with possible damage to the engine and loss of control of the vehicle.
