Today we will discover the instructions on how to disassemble and replace the timing belt of the Ssangyong Korando. First, let's open the vehicle's hood and start by removing the engine mount and the upper cylinder head cover, thus gaining access to the camshaft and the timing pulleys.

Next, we remove the side cover of the timing belt by lifting the vehicle and removing the crankshaft pulley. At this point, we loosen the tensioner to subsequently remove the timing chain, replacing it with a new original one. Finally, we reassemble everything after properly timing the engine.
