Hyaenidae Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) So we all know there are websites which we can enter the VIN number of the vehicle and get part numbers (Eg: https://partsouq.com/) but did you know that Mitsubishi has their own proprietary E-catalog software which includes all the part numbers, descriptions and illustrations applicable to their export market vehicles? It's far easier to find part numbers using this software compared to any website out there, and there is a wealth of other information about any part which could be immensely helpful. Here are some screenshots: Enter the VIN: Search for the part you want! You don't even have to know the exact name it's called, eg: if you're looking for the power steering belt just search for "belt". And you'll be presented with a list of "belts" applicable to your vehicle. Double click on the P/S belt option, and you'll get the part number: And an illustration of the part Pretty cool, right? You can click on any illustrated part (click the reference number) and get all the information you need about that part. Installation info: The application must be installed in the C:/ drive Run the installer Click on the “ Extract ” button Run the "install.bat" file in the installation directory (C:/MMC/ASA). This will copy the ASAMAIN.ini file to the C:/WINDOWS directory. Make sure that the installer copied the ASAMAIN.ini file to the C:/WINDOWS directory. If the ASAMAIN.ini file is not in the C:/WINDOWS directory , you must manually copy it there from the C:/MMC/ASA folder. Run the application from the desktop Click OK Download link: https://mega.nz/file/DkEyVaRY#TAb_D4ijRRGxNfHkxxtyMdV_kd1kgUVEuUOeSIXd9sc Edited April 24, 2020 by Hyaenidae 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Good info! Thanks for sharing mate. ? I just remembered that I had a CD ages ago for the Lancer CS where it had Technical bulletins and videos of how to conduct diagnostics - sort of like training videos from Mitsubishi. It was given to me by a trusty automotive engineer who had ties with Mitsubishi. It was probably for internal use only (just like this software is I'm sure).

Expand Yeah I'm still learning the ropes too, found out that you can find which models share the same part, should be useful when hunting for used parts... for example, the outer door handle: On 4/23/2020 at 6:09 PM, K.o.N.o.S said: Indeed this is immensely useful.
