2 known faults

200 e-XDi 175 manuelle

  1. From 100,000 km

    Clogged EGR valve and worn injectors (2.0 e-XDi)

    Severity 2/3 · Costly

    For the 2.0 e-XDi diesel, sources cite the EGR valve (carbon deposits) and the injectors as weak points, along with turbo and power loss: Autodoc places these problems between 100,000 and 120,000 km. Carverif gives, for guidance only, 150 to 250 € for an EGR valve cleaning and 300 to 450 € for an injector. An expert forum thread also mentions an injector leak letting diesel dilute the engine oil on a 2011 Korando. The figures do not come from manufacturer statistics.

200 e-XDi 175 automatique

  1. From 60,000 km

    Faulty 6-speed automatic gearbox

    Severity 2/3 · Costly

    Owners of Korando C200 models with automatic gearbox describe hesitation, switching to limp mode, and a gearbox judged to need rebuilding; one of them cites an invoice of about 7,300 dollars (Australian testimony). Autodoc places the first symptoms between 60,000 and 80,000 km on models from 2012 onward. These are mostly individual testimonies, not a recall campaign.
