Frequently Asked Questions
What diesel engines are covered, and is injection pump service included?
Yes. Both the 2.3L OM661LA and 2.9L OM662LA diesel engines are fully covered, including injection pump timing, injector removal and seal replacement, and the full bleed procedure. Torque specifications and diagnostic flowcharts for diesel-specific fault codes are also included.
Is this the second-generation Korando, and what body styles are included?
Correct – this manual covers the second-generation Korando (1996-2006), which was built on a Mercedes-Benz G-Class-derived ladder frame. Both the short-wheelbase two-door and long-wheelbase four-door body styles are covered, along with soft-top and hard-top variants produced during this production run.
Does the manual include 4WD transfer case service procedures?
Yes. Detailed service procedures are provided for both part-time and full-time four-wheel-drive transfer cases, including output seal replacement, linkage adjustment, and fluid change intervals. This is particularly useful given the known tendency for transfer case output seals to weep on higher-mileage examples.
