SSANGYONG ACTYON SPORTS Q1502.0L OM671 D20DTR DOHC 16v Turbo Diesel Direct Inj. 4cyl 114kW 4dr Pickup 6sp Auto 4WD [01/12 - 12/15]

The ute started to loose power/drive. The RACQ Tec believes it's the Auto. It did sometime when taking off from the lights have no drive and then clung into gear but other then that no warning signs.

Is this likely to be a simple fix ie back flash new oils or a new torque converter (No signs of an oil leak btw)

Or is there a gearbox that will work with this model without flashing the std computer?

Anyone do a service exchange unit?

Is there a reverse light fuse in my 2013 ssangYong

Brian J.
Brian J. · Actyon Sports Q150 (2012-2017)

It's an automatic and when selecting forward or reverse will clunk into the gear. Whilst traveling, there is a noticeable vibration.

I have an Actyon sports ute 2017 model (just like the display pic up top for the page). What are the headlight connectors / plugs it uses? It says they're a H4 but no harness with generic plugs (inluding H4) to able me to install my lightbar fit? Are there any adaptors that can be used? Otherwise I'll have to get an auto elect to splice it into it.

Vehicle suspension shakes like ***##**!! when empty and on minor uneven road surfaces. Sometimes it shakes that much my feet fall off the pedals when cornering very bumpy roads...its major I can tell you. What needs doing to the suspension to take a bit of the pain away here? We do tow a 1500kg boat with this no problem still shakes a bit so even with some weight on the towbar, the shakes are still there - 2018 Actyon Sports 4x4 2.2L Diesel

Sounds like you need to see a suspension specialist, must be a component problem. Check shockers, tyres and pressure.

Ssangyong is stupid when it comes to holding the road, I found that when the deck has weight on it pretty much solves the problem but empty it suxxx, I've lto adjust my speed and gear changes when empty

My sangyong is having starting issues any ideas its been a intermitted problem

Mark

Is it a diesel? If it turns over ok and does not start, there is a switch on the gear change on the underside that can come loose and will not let it start, simple fix for a mechanic or auto elec. Other item is make sure your key is ok, if the micro chip is damaged will cause a problem.

does this switch exist on automatics too?

changed all 4 injectors (water in fuel) now runs well but there is a clicking sound mainly when under load accelerating. Another problem is sometimes can not accelerate - loose power, then after a shortstop and restart all runs well

My ssangyong actyon sports of year 2013 vibrates as well. but not like this one. when the engine needle shows 1.5 it starts vibrating and stops again when it reaches 2.0 and above. it vibrates even if I don't drive or put the gear. I just need to accelerate and it vibrates on 1.5. Sorry my english is not that good when explaining mechanic. it's a manual. Any help?

Hi all,

I have a 2012 Ssangyong Actyon Sports Ute that has bee running fine until yesterday, when now it only starts when it feels like it.

When the engine does start it has a metallic noise coming from the alternator area which disappears after a few minutes as the engine warms. I have checked for fault codes and it displays about 5 but I am having trouble finding a list on the net to see what the faults are.

Hoping that someone may point me in the right direction to find them.

Perhaps someone else has had the same issues.

With thanks, Peter.

phone local mechanics - ask if they have a "Code Reader" for YOUR car - if yes, book it in for a code reset and evaluation of the associated problems

Hi ..the TCCU of my Ssangyong Actyon Sports 2012 got damaged. I found an exact part number online but it is for 2012-2014 Ssangyong Rexton W. Will this work on my Actyon since the socket configuration and part number is the same? Thanks

l have a 2014 Actyon sports 4x4 diesel auto ute , brought new . It has this surge sensation when just driving along , doesn't affect its performance and if you it accelerate it's fine , it seems to be worst in summer , l do worry that it could get worst and become dangerous , has anyone else had this experience or would know what the problem is , Also just today the anti skid light came on just when driving at 60 klm , could this be related?

thanks

Well I have never noted any unexplained surging in my vehicle, so I would say that is not normal. A surge sensation is not likely to be linked to the anti-skid system which will cause selective braking on traction loss. In any unladen rear-wheel drive ute you can easily induce traction loss on a corner with a firm right foot. The system automatically cuts engine power and applies selective braking to specific wheels to stop your tail whip. After two seconds it gives you back the throttle and gets going again. This can be annoying in wet slippery conditions but certainly is safer than the alternative. Going over a hard bump at speed can also get a wheel off the ground and activate the system. It should certainly not be coming on at random times without explanation.

But unexplained surging in turbo diesel engines could be caused by many things like the EGR valve, fuel filter, fuel pump, plugs, injectors, or any of several sensors. I would get it checked by a good mechanic (not necessarily the dealer).

Hi, I Have just purchased a 2013 Actyon sports SX Diesel Auto, it's done 100,000 ks, 0 to 100 very responsive then very slow to accelerate to a higher speed! and my fuel consumption is very poor getting 9.8 litres to 100 k's. I do freeway runs Monday to Friday.

Can anyone tell me if is is correct? Or I think there is something wrong? Any ideas?

Thanks Graham

Hi

Fuel is about right, if it is a six speed you will have problems after 100,000, 5 speed is better and less problems, if you touch the brake when driving it will slow down

Graham
Graham  

That's, what problems? What should I look for?

Thanks

Sounds like the factory injector /boost or vein settings have been altered , get a diesel dyno tune done or go all out and get a remap freeing up more power and fuel economy should be around 8lt per 100k stock or slightly less tuned
