Ssangyong Korando 2010 Workshop Manual

Mike Callahan here. Twenty-eight years in the trade, ASE Master, and I’ve torqued more head bolts than most people have had hot meals. When I see a tech reach for a reprint or a third-party PDF to fix a Ssangyong Korando 2010, I get edgy. Aftermarket manuals leave out critical details – like the exact body mounting bolt torque or the sequence for the fuel filler door lock. This Ssangyong Korando 2010 Workshop Manual is the real factory print. 72 pages, published in 2010, and covers the entire body exterior from the white body structure to the rear spoiler. If you’re rebuilding a Korando, you need this.

Body Exterior Component Breakdown

This manual is organized around the actual assembly line structure. You get sections for white body (5110-00), body mounting (5120-00), side and rear body, roof panel, front and rear floor panels, front end panel, fender and apron, dash panel, hood, doors, tailgate, and the fuel filler door lock (7090-00). Each component has its own page range with part numbers, fastener callouts, and sealant requirements. The index on page 1 lists every single section with exact page numbers. No guessing where to find the rear weatherstrip – it’s right there on page 20.

What Does the Fuel Filler Door Lock Section Cover?

Section 7090-00 is the fuel filler door lock. That’s two pages of adjustment, cable routing, and lock cylinder removal. I’ve seen guys snap the plastic actuator because they tried to pry it off without the manual. The factory procedure tells you the exact sequence to release the cable and the torque for the mounting screws. If you’re swapping a rusted filler door on a 2010 Korando, you don’t want to crack the paint or bend the hinge. This section keeps you out of trouble.

7 Major Assembly Areas Documented

Count them: hood, front doors, rear doors, tailgate, bumpers, grille, and side moldings. Each one has its own removal and installation procedure. The manual doesn’t stop at component IDs – it gives you the fastener maps, torque values, and alignment marks. For example, the front bumper removal (7870-01) starts on page 31. It shows you the locations of the four hidden bolts and the three clips you have to release before you pull the cover. Without that, you’ll warp the plastic.

Get the Right Torque Specs for Body Mounting

Body mounting torque values are on page 4. The manual shows a diagram of the subframe mounts with torque specs for both 2WD and AWD variants. The front subframe mounting bolts get a specific torque that I’ve seen aftermarket manuals list wrong by 15 ft-lb. That’s enough to cause a squeak or a loose mount over time. You get the factory numbers – nothing else.

OEM vs Aftermarket: Why Factory Specs Matter

I’ve used enough aftermarket manuals to know they skip the little details – like the foam pad placement on the cowl grille or the exact orientation of the tailgate latch cable. This Ssangyong Korando 2010 Workshop Manual is a direct scan of the OEM document. It has the original Ssangyong part numbers, the airbag system warnings, and the modification basis notes (see page 3). You can trust the wiring diagrams because they’re not redrawn by a third-party graphics firm. The Automotive Industry Overview standards for OEM documentation are clear – this manual meets them. If you’re serious about doing it right, skip the knockoffs.

Need the audio system wiring? Grab the SsangYong Korando 2010 Audio System Technical Manual. For full service procedures including engine and drivetrain, the SsangYong Korando 2010 Service Manual is your next stop. And if you’re doing collision repair, the SsangYong Korando 2010 Body Repair Manual covers structural welding and panel replacement.

I’ve also seen the Automotive Industry Overview guidelines for repair information – this manual follows them to the letter. No ambiguity, no missing fastener callouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this manual cover the engine or transmission?

No. This is the body exterior workshop manual only. For engine, transmission, or electrical systems, you need the separate service manual linked above.

What year Korando does this fit?

2010 model year. It covers both 2WD and AWD body mounting configurations. The manual was published in 2010 and aligns with the Korando’s first-generation body.

Are the torque values in imperial or metric?

Both. The manual lists torque in Nm and in lb-ft. For example, the body mounting bolts on page 4 are given in both units.

Can I use this for a 2011 Korando?

Probably not. The 2010 manual is specific to that year. Ssangyong made changes to the body structure for later years. You’d need the 2011 workshop manual.
