2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Engine problems

There is an active center differential pump failure that is becoming common in all lancer evolutions of this year. Mine went out last year and I have been having to drive with it for a year now not knowing whether the differential is corroding at an accelerated rate of not. I did this because after I had my vehicle assessed they told it would be $2500 to replace. I researched online and found that this is a very common problem and can be dangerous therefore causing me to have to pay this absurd amount even with knowing that almost 60% of evo drivers have to deal with this same issue. *Tr

This is a very well documented and known issue amongst evolution gen 9 owners. The oem timing belt bracket tensioner was made incorrect and causes the timing belt to rub against metal. There has already been a replacement bracket made that corrects the issue but I think this needs to be a recall. Mitsubishi needs to own this one and make it right, it's a faulty part, initiate the recall. *Tr

My acd hydraulic pump has failed. Rpm's surge when accelerating and when at idle, I feel like it is putting my engine under extreme pressure. From my research I have seen this is a very common problem with the mitsubishi lance evolutions. There has been no recall, and what they are charging to get a new one which you can only get from the dealership is ridiculously expensive. Something needs to be done about this! *Tr

My 2006 mitsubishi evolution 9 started to make abnormal engine noises audible within the cab. The car has been serviced regularly and is more than well kept... The noise comes from within the timing belt cover and sounds much like a washing machine. This noise is also well documented among evo 9 owners. Here is a link to the thread.

In august I noticed a weird noise coming from the timing belt area of my car. The car was perfectly fine and driven normally. I started the car and the noise appeared out of nowhere. The noise sounds like a washing machine and is only present when the car is started up and is cold. After approximately 15 minutes of driving, the noise disappears. I am worried that there is something terribly wrong in that area. I do not want my engine to break. *Tr

Loud noise coming from the timing belt area. Sounds like a faulty pulley or the belt rubbing on something. Took it into the dealer and they replaced the timing belt idler pulley. Before I left the dealership I told them I still hear the same sound just quieter. They told me if it gets louder to come back. That was about a month ago and it has gotten louder since. My concern is catastrophic engine failure. Nobody has been able to properly diagnose the issue. This could cause a serious accident if severe engine failure occurred at speed. *Tr

A couple months ago, I noticed a squeaking sound coming from the passenger side of my engine when my car was idling. After the car warmed up (5-10 min), the sound would go away. The sound appeared to be belt related so I checked the serpentine (accessory) belt and noticed signs of wear and tear on the belt and the idler pulley . I changed the belt out (was close to recommended replacement date anyway) but the sound is still there. I searched the internet and found that this problem is quite common with 2006...

Bad bearing noise coming from timing belt area. This is a problem with the timing belt idler pulley. I have had it replaced by the dealer and the exact same noise came back within 10k miles. This noise appeared with 31k miles on the car. *Tr

A strange "rubbing, grinding" noise coming from the timing belt area. *Tr

Car needs to be sitting at an idle speed, and first started becoming audible a few months ago, but was intermittent. I took the car into the dealer and they did not have a fix and blamed it on the valves needing adjustment and my serpentine belt. The valves on this particular car are hydraulic and do not need servicing and when I removed my own serpentine belt, the noise was still audible! It is definitely coming from the timing belt area and sounds like it is almost hitting or scraping something! Its a serious...

I first noticed that my 2006 mitsubishi lancer evolution rs started to make a grinding/scrapping noise that seemed to be generating from the timing belt area when my car had approximately 35,000 miles on the odometer. It seemed to be a noise that was present at idle and upon cold start ups and now occasionally I hear it even when the car is fully warmed up. I started to research this on various forums and internet, only to find that it was a common problem with a clear solution. There have been a few dealerships...

I first noticed that my 2006 mitsubishi lancer evolution rs started to make a grinding/scrapping noise that seemed to be generating from the timing belt area. The car had approximately 18,000 miles on the odometer. It seemed to be a noise that was present at idle and upon cold start ups. I started to research this on various forums and internet, only to find that it was a common problem with a clear solution. There have been a few dealerships who have seemed to have resolved this issue but each fix seemed to...

I 1st started hearing a metal scraping noise coming from the drive belt area around 20,000 miles on the odometer of my 2006 mitsubishi lancer evolution ix mr. After researching this online, I found this to be a common/frequent problem reported by many other owners of the same car throughout the web. In fact, I even found a youtube clip of the exact same noise created for the exact same issue. The noise has been determined to be involving the timing belt rubbing against the crankshaft blade. I've only found it...
