i just finished my o2 dump install and went to start to car today..first time i had time to take it out for a spin after install...before i even pull the car out...i inspected everything and noticed there is oil leaking from the right side of the block (oil line to turbo) , so i tighten the bolt slightly and bang..the bolt snapped..i barely applied much force and it snapped..i was able to remove the other half of the bolt from block by hand..my question is would i be able to find a bolt like that in local auto or hardware store cause closest mitsubishi dealer to me right now is like 45mins+ away...thanks

 

Been there, done that.

Dealer or RussellIM (mitsubishiparts.net) -- no parts store had it.

 

do you have the part number for it by any chance? man this sux...i called the closest dealership and they said it takes 1 week to get it

 

call other dealerships nearby? even if its in other state if they are in stock shipping could be 1 day away.

 

i was told it would take atleast 5 days so not sure where they are getting it from...im currently around south bend area in indiana

closest one is 45min

2nd closest is 1 1/2 hr

 

I have an extra one with brand new washers. I could overnight it if you want it fast.

 

Time to wise up people. The dealer will always tell you it takes 5 days to get any part. Well, how does the dealer fix all the cars that come into its service bays? Do they keep all the parts necessary on hand? If they did the dealership would look like a giant warehouse. Instead, they have the parts shipped in overnight.

You too can have the parts overnight but you have to ask for it. I've been doing this for years. I just say, "No, I want the parts tomorrow." Then I get, "Well, that will cost you extra." So, lets see, I can pay a little extra or let my car sit for 5 days.

 

PMED... do you by any chance still have that DI manifold?

 

anyone know exactly what size is the bolt? 12mm x 1.5?

 

i contacted Russellm and havent recieve a reply yet..called dealership and they said it be here thursday then i told them to overnight it and they told me it be here first thing this morning...and now they told me it wont be til tomorrow and i will have to pay the overnight fee still...i guess they forgot to order it

 

Gotta love the Stealership. Back in DSM days we called the dealer "Satan".

 

i going out of town tonight again so im not even going to bother to pick it up and pay for it...payed extra $20 for overnight and they forgot it..i think im just going to order elsewhere

 

I Have done the exact same thing.... trust me no one has it except dealer or mitsuparts.net

 

monopoly

 

Do you still need it? Any dealer should have these. We probably have tons of them in stock.

Ive been out of the office all week so let me know if you still havent gotten it.
