Problems and faults: Mitsubishi KW Verada
- The Mitsubishi KW Verada’s engine oil and oil filter should be changed every 10,000 kilometres – failure to do so may result in rattling hydraulic lifters and worn valve stem seals.
- Oil consumption can increase as the valve stem seals harden – this may occur around 100,000 kilometres.
- A loose connector between the main body computer and engine control unit (ECU) can cause starting problems and stalling after start-up.
- Noises from the front suspension may require the front strut inserts to be replaced.
- Wind noise can become significant if the rubber window seals are torn or otherwise damaged.
