There is an opinion that car repair is best left to specialists. Of course, you can go to an expensive service station, where the cost of one hour of operation of diagnostic equipment is measured in tens or even hundreds of conventional units... Or, using our guide, you can carry out simple checks and measurements, find malfunctions of sensors and actuators, turning to analyzers and expensive devices, and significantly reduce your car repair costs.

Other unfortunate masters, portraying complete competence, can «repair» your car that it will soon start to cause problems again. And this means new repairs and new expenses... In addition, some unscrupulous service station workers may deliberately overestimate the cost of the necessary repairs, knowing that you will still have to take their word for it.
Our guide will help you figure out what the problem is with the car and what you need to do to fix it. To avoid disappointment and unnecessary spending, read this book. And you will become an expert in repairing your car!

Often, when starting repairs, an inexperienced motorist exposes his health to a serious danger: after all, when carrying out repair work, he has to deal with cutting tools, mechanisms, explosive and highly toxic substances... The issue of your safety during repairs is given in this book the closest attention. Familiarize yourself with the safety regulations for repairs and strictly follow them.

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. A lot of photos, drawings and diagrams will help you accurately understand the malfunctions of your machine and eliminate them. But you should not look for a portrait resemblance to your car in them, since changes, modifications and adjustments are an ongoing process in the production of a car and its parts. Therefore, the information for one model year of the vehicle may not correspond to models released later (even with the same name). Of course, within the framework of one book it is impossible to reflect the entire diversity of the model range. The reader, before buying a book, should independently check whether this manual corresponds to his car, whether it contains a description of those components and parts that are installed on a particular machine. At the same time, there may be minor differences in the design associated with the modernization of the car. It must be understood that the repair techniques on different models are similar, therefore, to achieve an excellent result, you just need to follow the advice of the author and carefully follow the recommended work order, as well as the rules for organizing a workplace and safety precautions when carrying out repair work.
