Common Problems: MITSUBISHI ASX
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- DPF Clogging (1.8 DI-D)(Moderate)
The diesel particulate filter clogs quickly if the car isn't driven on the motorway regularly.
- Oil Dilution (Diesel)(Serious)
Interrupted DPF regenerations cause unburnt fuel to leak into the oil sump, raising the oil level and thinning the lubricant.
