Available Petrol Engines:
2.0L, 2.3L, 3.2L
Available Diesel Engines:
2.3L, 2.9L
Engine Codes:
M161 (likely 2.3L petrol/diesel variants), M162 (likely 2.0L/2.3L petrol), OM600 series (Mercedes-Benz diesel engines, e.g., OM601, OM602).
Hp Range:
Approximately 100-217 hp depending on engine and specific variant.
Torque Range:
Approximately 170-300 Nm depending on engine and specific variant.
Fuel Delivery Petrol:
Multi-point Fuel Injection (MPI) for most petrol engines.
Fuel Delivery Diesel:
Indirect injection or Direct injection (common rail for later Mercedes-based engines), typically with rotary or inline injection pumps.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically 5,000-10,000 km or 6-12 months, depending on engine type and driving conditions (refer to manual for specifics).
Timing Belt Replacement:
Crucial for petrol engines with timing belts; interval typically 60,000-100,000 km or 5-7 years. Diesel engines often use chains.
Engine Oil Spec Petrol:
API SG/SH or higher, SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 (refer to manual for exact grade and capacity).
Engine Oil Spec Diesel:
API CF/CG-4 or higher, SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40 (refer to manual for exact grade and capacity).
Coolant Specification:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze with corrosion inhibitors. Specific type and mixture ratio in manual.
Transmission Fluid Auto:

Common Wear Items:
Suspension bushings, ball joints, steering linkages due to off-road use and age. Radiator and cooling system components. Certain electrical sensors.
Diesel Engine Considerations:
Mercedes-Benz OM600 series engines are generally robust but may require specific diagnostic tools. Glow plug system maintenance.
Petrol Engine Considerations:
Timing belt maintenance is critical. Older ignition components may need replacement.
