The value of the recommendations is that they are based, on the one hand, on deep theoretical knowledge of the processes occurring in the car during its operation and, on the other hand, on practical experience of repairing the car "with your own hands". Therefore, this guide is indispensable for those who are engaged in professional car repair and car service, and also want to study the structure and operating principles of modern cars. But the main task is to help the car enthusiast in repairing his car
Repairing a modern foreign car seems to many to be an extremely complicated matter, beyond the capabilities of an ordinary car enthusiast. After reading our book, you will see that this is not the case at all. We offer a completely new approach to repair, the advantage of which is its availability to the widest range of car enthusiasts.
There is an opinion that it is better to leave car repairs to specialists. Of course, you can go to an expensive service station, where the cost of one hour of diagnostic equipment operation is measured in tens or even hundreds of conventional units... But you can, using our guide, carry out simple checks and measurements, find faults in sensors and actuators without resorting to analyzers and expensive devices, and significantly reduce your costs for car repairs.
But, let's say, for some reason, you prefer to go to a service station to have the repairs done. You should know that mechanics are not always well versed in repairing the complex systems of a modern car. Some bad mechanics, feigning complete competence, can "repair" your car in such a way that it will soon start causing problems again. And that means new repairs and new expenses... In addition, some unscrupulous service station employees can deliberately inflate the cost of the necessary repairs, knowing that you will still have to take their word for it.
Our guide will help you understand what the problem is with your car and what you need to do to fix it. To avoid disappointment and unnecessary expenses, read this book. And you will become an expert in repairing your car!
Perhaps you have already repaired your car yourself and more than once? And now you ask yourself: "What else can this book give me? I know my car very well!" Perhaps this is true. However, very few car enthusiasts who repair their cars themselves do it correctly. But proper organization of the workplace and adherence to the optimal order of repair operations allow you to reduce the time and effort spent on repairs several times! The work techniques we have described are universal and based on practical repair experience. Following the recommendations on the sequence of repair operations will help you repair your car quickly and efficiently.
Often, when starting repairs, an inexperienced car enthusiast exposes his health to serious danger: after all, when carrying out repairs, he has to deal with cutting tools, explosive mechanisms and highly toxic substances... The issue of your safety during repairs is given the closest attention in this book. Familiarize yourself with the safety rules for repairs and strictly follow them. Ignorance of these simple rules leads to very sad consequences.
When creating this book, the authors tried to study and convey all the nuances of repairing the most common Mitsubishi Colt and Lancer models in as much detail as possible. Numerous photographs, drawings and diagrams will help you accurately understand the faults of your car and eliminate them. But you should not look for a portrait resemblance to your car in them, since changes, modifications and adjustments are a continuous process in the production of a car and its parts. Therefore, information on one model year of car production may not correspond to models released later (even with a similar name). Of course, it is impossible to reflect the entire diversity of the model range within one book. Before purchasing a book, the reader should independently check whether this manual corresponds to his car and whether it contains a description of those units and parts that are installed on a specific car. At the same time, there may be minor differences in the design associated with the modernization of the car. It is important to understand that repair techniques are similar for different models, so to achieve an excellent result, you should simply follow the author's advice and carefully observe the recommended work order, as well as the rules for organizing the workplace and safety precautions when carrying out repair work.
