Common Failure
The 4N13 engine is the known weak point of the ASX range . Key issues include turbocharger failure (caused by separation of the air intake duct seal, which is then sucked into the turbocharger), piston ring carbon buildup causing oil consumption and bore glazing, and frequent DPF regeneration cycles diluting engine oil. The 4N13 was subject to two recalls: one for engine ECU reprogramming (2010-2013, 8,079 vehicles) and one for turbo-related issues .
The 4N13 1.8 DI-D diesel is the known Achilles' heel of the ASX range . While other ASX engines (petrol) have proven reliable, the early 4N13 diesel suffered from multiple well-documented issues including turbocharger failure, piston ring carbon buildup, and DPF regeneration problems . Mitsubishi issued two recalls affecting early 4N13 units . Rebuilt engines through EnginesMarket include upgraded components addressing the original failure points, plus a minimum 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty.

Our Recommendation
Our Recommendation
If your ASX 1.8 DI-D suffers turbo failure, first check if your vehicle is covered under the Mitsubishi ECU recall (2010-2013 models) . If out of warranty, have the engine inspected for debris damage - if the turbo has disintegrated, metal particles may have circulated through the engine and damaged pistons, rings, and bearings. For high-mileage examples with engine damage, a used engine often offers better value than a rebuild. However, if the car is in excellent condition and you plan to keep it, a rebuilt engine with upgraded components and 12-month warranty is the safest option.
Don't Let 4N13 Engine Failure Write Off Your Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 DI-D

Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 DI-D Engine ReplacementFrequently Asked Questions
Question 1How much does a Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 DI-D engine replacement cost-
A Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 DI-D engine replacement typically costs £600-£1,400 for a used unit, £1,400-£2,400 for reconditioned, and £2,400-£3,800 for a rebuilt engine with 12-month warranty [ESTIMATED]. Specialist fitting costs add £500-£800.
- Used 4N13: £600-£1,400 supply-only
- Reconditioned: £1,400-£2,400 supply-only
- Rebuilt with warranty: £2,400-£3,800 supply-only
- Specialist fitting: £500-£800
Question 2Is the Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 DI-D a reliable engine-
The 4N13 1.8 DI-D diesel is considered the weak point of the ASX range . Early models (2010-2013) suffered from turbocharger failures, piston ring carbon buildup, and frequent DPF regeneration cycles. Mitsubishi issued two recalls for the 1.8 DI-D . However, with regular maintenance and the ECU recall applied, many units have proven durable.
- Known weak point of the ASX range
- Two recalls issued for early models
- Regular maintenance and ECU update are critical
Question 3Does the Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 DI-D have a timing belt or chain-
The 4N13 1.8 DI-D engine uses a timing chain, not a belt . Chains are designed to last the engine's lifetime, but rely on clean, correct-spec engine oil. Regular oil and filter changes are essential - sludge can clog the hydraulic tensioner and accelerate chain wear .
- Timing chain, not belt
- No scheduled replacement interval
- Regular oil changes are critical for chain life
Question 4What are the signs of turbo failure on an ASX 1.8 DI-D-
Common signs include a loud whining or siren-like noise from the engine, sudden loss of power, black smoke from the exhaust, and a check engine light . The 4N13 is known for sudden turbo failure caused by the intake duct seal detaching and being sucked into the turbocharger . One owner reported a £3,000+ repair bill for turbo failure at 80,000km .
- Loud whining noise from engine
- Sudden loss of power
- Black smoke from exhaust
Question 5Is it worth replacing the engine in a 2010-2016 Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 DI-D-
With 2010-2015 ASX 1.8 DI-D values ranging from £3,000-£8,000, a rebuilt engine at £2,400-£3,800 represents 30-60% of the vehicle's value [INDUSTRY ESTIMATE]. For sub-£4,000 examples, a used engine is usually the sensible choice. If your ASX is in excellent condition and low-mileage, a rebuilt engine with 12-month warranty can be a viable option.
- Vehicle value: £3,000-£8,000
- Rebuilt engine: £2,400-£3,800
- Used engine recommended for sub-£4,000 vehicles
Question 6What was the Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 DI-D recall about-
Mitsubishi issued a recall for 8,079 ASX vehicles with the 1.8 DI-D engine (2010-2013) to reprogram the engine ECU. This was to address excessive carbon buildup causing piston ring sticking and oil consumption . A separate recall affected 18,250 ASX vehicles (2014-2016) for tailgate supports, and 17,971 vehicles (2011-2015) for windscreen wiper linkage joints .
- ECU reprogramming for 8,079 vehicles (2010-2013)
