Evo help

Evojoe

Hello I have a evo VII and the Tarmac gravel and snow mode are all lit up constantly at the same time. Does anyone know what this means?

Could be a fault in the ACD.
Check fluid levels would be the first port of call.

Evojoe

Yes I checked the fluid levels in the ayc pump and the lights remain on there is a banging noise coming out of the propshaft I think it could be a shaft sensor tripping the lights I don't know. Can anyone help please

all 3 lights on usually means ayc pump failure but if theres a banging coming from the propshaft area i'd be looking at that first or the rear diff itself,any form of banging from an evo's drivetrain is always bad and always expensive,i would'nt be driving it until its fixed as your only doing more damage,i deal with ian cuddy motorsport in dungannon for my evo and i highly recommend him,he rebuilt my rear diff a few years ago and it has'nt given any bother since

Jomo engineering is another man to talk too. He's done work for me with evo's in the past and I wouldn't send one to anyone else.

Sounds like a differential issue though. Is there a centre carrier bearing on that shaft that's making noise? Could be that too.

Yeah I put it up on a ramp and there was a bit of play in the centre carrier bearing. I have a propshaft organised for it and ayc pump for it and I might use it if the lights don't go off after the new propshaft goes in. Do yee know will an evo 6 propshaft fit my evo 7? Cheers for the advice

i could be wrong but i doubt a 6 propshaft will fit a 7,the 7 has a completly different chassis to the 4,5 or 6,another thing worth checking are the diff bushes,i had a bit of a bang out of the back of my evo when i'd be changing up through the gears hard,turned out the bushes were badly worn and one was broken causing the diff itself to jump about causing the bang,if you want to check the fault code on your car you can do it using a steel paper clip,bridge pins 1 and 4 on the obd port ,turn the ignition on and count the flashes,all the fault codes are posted on the mitsubishi lancer register or mlr website,check it out,it is an excellent site that has tons of info on the subject.
