Vehicle

SsangYong Rodius

The large seven- to eleven-seat MPV, sold as Turismo and Stavic in various markets — all the same vehicle. Unusually for an MPV it is built on a ladder frame with rear-wheel drive and a live axle, sharing much of its running gear with the Rexton, which is where to look for chassis information. The powertrain is the Mercedes-derived XDi diesel and, on many, a Mercedes-design automatic, so those units' data applies. Its recurring faults are the family's turbo-vane sticking and EGR fouling, plus a self-levelling rear suspension on some trims whose compressor and height sensors set their own codes and are easily mistaken for a load or spring problem.

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.
