Sticking piston rings, oil consumption and timing chain on the Mitsubishi 1.6 (4A92)Engine
- Engine / equipment
- Mitsubishi 117 hp 1.6 petrol (4A92): Citroën C4 Aircross and Peugeot 4008 (also the Mitsubishi ASX)
- Period mentioned
- 2012–2017
- Symptoms
- Oil has to be topped up between changes; bluish smoke; chain rattle on cold starts.
- Possible cause described
- Russia’s Za Rulem magazine (2021) rates the 4A92 the least successful engine of the range: the piston rings tend to stick from as early as about 80,000 km, which raises oil consumption; the timing chain can stretch beyond 100,000 km, and the engine is very sensitive to the oil level, which should be kept at least halfway up the dipstick.
- Check for the garage
- Measure oil consumption between changes and check the level often; listen for the chain on a cold start; ask for the oil-change history.
- Cost cited in the source
- No verified estimate; ask the garage for a quote.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
