Are Mitsubishi Galant engine noises bad?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Mitsubishi Galant engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Mitsubishi Galant engine?

Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Is it okay to put water in my Mitsubishi Galant radiator?

It’s not recommended you put water in your Galant radiator unless it’s an emergency. Under normal circumstances, use a 50/50 mix of water and coolant or a pre-mixed coolant. But, if you need to keep driving while out of coolant, using water is better than driving with an empty coolant reservoir.
