Common Problems: SSANGYONG KORANDO
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- DPF Blockage(Moderate)
The 2.0L and 2.2L diesel engines are prone to DPF clogging if used primarily for short journeys.
- Timing Chain Stretch(Serious)
The 2.0L and 2.2L diesel engines can suffer from timing chain stretch due to tensioner wear or insufficient oil pressure, especially if oil changes are neglected.
- EGR Valve Carbon Buildup(Moderate)
The EGR valve can clog with carbon deposits, causing rough idle, black smoke, and reduced performance. This is worse on cars used for short urban journeys.
