Brilliance H230
The small hatchback and saloon below the H330, sharing its licensed Mitsubishi 4A engines, its transmissions and most of its electrical architecture — so the H330's information covers it and there is more of it. What is worth knowing separately is the CVT fitted to many automatic cars, whose fluid specification is particular and whose temperature and ratio-error codes are the first indication of wear rather than any slipping complaint the driver notices. Given the age of the fleet and the markets it serves, fuel quality is a real variable: injector fouling and a blocked fuel-pump strainer both present as a hot-restart hesitation before either sets a code.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
