Ssangyong Musso (2.9 Diesel)

[nuwanz]

Hello experts,

I'm bit confused about this vehicle.

This jeep is rated positively.(4/5) in most websites.(UK, AUS)

My relative in AUS also recommended it.

But in Sri Lanka 99% people say don't even think about it!

After a long search I found two vehicles in good condition.

Any experiences with this jeep?

Any reasons to avoid or buy?

Thanks,

Nuwan T.

Is it common rail engine?

I think the Sri Lankan reviews are due to

1.injector issues coming from using regular diesel, high sulphur content

2. Bad dealer service,unavailability of body parts etc

3.Early Rexton,Kyron has issues with the Aussie made AT gearbox .But now I think they use Jatco

4.not being Japanese or Indian

But if maintained properly they are way more comfortable and fun.

Thanks, RVij The engine is Mercedes OM602, 5-cylinder diesel engine.

Both vehicles I found is properly maintained.

I refer 2006 Musso double cab version.(2wd)

Other one is 1996 musso 4wd version.

I've contacted micro and they said they will import any part.

I will be using this as a mostly family trip vehicle.

I consider this because plenty of space and ground clearance.

+ low price.

Thanks,

Nuwan T.

Well I have no idea about the vehicle overall, but I googled the engine after you mentioned it and it looks like its well liked and is said to be a low fuss / easy to maintain engine. Here take a read yourself, maybe it'll help you make up your mind

In the common rail version,injectors need to be reprogrammed with the code written on injector body.most makabaas don't know how,and go mad when they can't get the check engine light off after many weeks..
