SsangYong Musso
Two unrelated vehicles across two eras. The 1993 Musso is the Mercedes-licensed one — an OM662 straight-five diesel and Mercedes running gear under a Korean body, styled by Ken Greenley — and Mercedes information genuinely applies to its powertrain. The 2018 Musso is a Rexton pickup with a different name, sharing that vehicle's e-XDi engine and ladder frame. Working duty is the diagnostic context for both: towing and load mean exhaust temperature and after-treatment behave differently from a passenger car's.

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.
