Hey everyone. I was at a dealer today in Northern NJ: Paramus Mitsubishi.
When I walked in, they had the ACD Pump in-stock. I was expecting to fork out the ~$2k (+/- $200) in parts/labor. They also told me that I was the lucky winner of a new/extended warranty on the ACD Pump: 10 years / 100,000 miles.
Final Bill for Parts + Labor of ACD Pump replacement: $0.00
Call your local dealers today and see if you can get this great deal before Mitsu changes their minds!!
FYI- the first guy who I spoke with didn't know it was covered under warranty--the guy who appeared to be the service manager was the one who had to chime in & mention that it was now covered.
Also FYI, my 2008 Lancer Evolution GSR is Stock, 67,6xx miles and threw the DTC code: c161e
Disclaimer: for those of you who read it as I actually "won" something, that was just a turn of phrase (also known in the industry as a joke)--I would expect that everyone should qualify for the new/extended warranty
A) [VIN]
B) [GSR or MR] [Year]
C) [Date of Pump(s) failure]
D) [City]
E) [Aproximate Weather temp when it failed]
F) [KM when the pump fail]
A) [VIN]
B) 2008 GSR, Purch. November 2008
C) on or around 2014-09-23
D) Pearl River, NY
E) ~70*F

Error Code: c161e

I've not heard of Mitsu modding the pump. I replaced mine last year and it looked the same. If you can get your new pump to go another 80K miles then that's great. Mine started failing around 50K. I drive in the Chicago winters. At the time the warranty did not cover it. I had to pay $1500 out of pocket for their design flaw. I was taking no chances of it failing again so I relocated mine to the trunk. I'm so glad I did. A year later and it still looks brand new. If you leave your pump in the same place the same thing is gonna happen again. Do yourself a favor and do what I did. It's not very hard and only requires extensions for the lines. I found a place in Chicago that can modify your lines and make extensions for them with your fittings. Cost is about $620 For the 5 custom fabricated tube assemblies and 3 custom hose assemblies. I looked all over Chicago for a place that could do the work and this is the only place. Bristol Hose and Fitting Warehouse. 1 W. Lake St., Northlake, Illinois 60164. (708) 492-3456

I had mine fail after the first snow fall this year. Luckily two weeks later they announced the warranty extension! For those wondering, my dealer didn't bat an eye at replacing the pump under warranty with my mods (full bolt ons).

Don't see why they wouldn't even if it wasn't corrosion, it's only at 22k with bolt ons no internal modifications.
My Dealership said they would cover the warranty on bolt ons as long as it wasn't the tune/power that did the damage. Maybe i got lucky on that part.
