HVAC Issue's!
#16
Make sure you have the one on the right!!! This lancer only has 34,000 miles, and needed the job done, and it's had a pollen filter it's whole life. just the crappy one.
this is right after I took the dash out. (This one took me 19 minutes )
This is what the heater blend door kit looks like new.
SEE what happens!!!!
The updtated link and lever kit that everyone is speaking of is on the left. All it does is increase the mechanical advantage of your knob.
Does this help any??

Is there an updated tsb? I've seen the other one but haven't looked in alldata for tsb's for a few weeks. You a tech at mitsu? Warranty pay good over there? Must be nice for yall to still have timing belts on some of your cars

Yes there are two tsb's for this problem. I have an 03 and brought it in just before the warranty was up because the temp control knob had a lot of "play" in it. They replaced some cables and added some lube. This worked for about 6 months and the problem came back. This time the warranty was up, but the mechanic said there was an updated TSB which was a replacment of the entire unit and was able to get the work approved because the first "fix" failed.
As was stated earlier, the new TSB replaces the entire unit. It has a gear mechanism that is stronger as opposed to the cable (I think thats what he said) but it requires disassembly of the dash. Since it was going to covered for free I had it done. No problems now.

Well, I got my car back last week so I ordered that link and lever kit today. It cost me 10.38 shipped overnight I should have ordered a pollen filter and the blend door but I really don't feel like replacing the blend door till I see how much difference the link kit makes.

damn i thought the cable was binding up on something behind there. my buddy is an ex mitsu tech, my evo is getting the alarm put in and he's over there cuz its his buddy who's doing the alarm.
he just texted me saying i needed an updated heater door, i'm like HUH? now i know the full extent of it all. it sucks and i hope i dont have to have my car in the shop over night or something like that. i hate being without my car and thats why i got a new car. this sucks but hope it all works out in the end.

This thread is old and the gentleman above linked everyone to the correct thread to merge in. However, I wanted to post a link to the new thread I've created. I'm trying to create a giant guide.
