san maganda kumuha Engine Parts for Kia Besta?

[OTEP]

Mando is the OEM supplier for Ssangyong. Wala pa kaming problem sa shocks up to now pero sirain yung Mando shocks ng Kia ko dati. The bushings would always disintegrate.

And yes, I don't find the need for fitting gas shocks in the MB100. Unless you are always using it at full capacity (passengers+luggage). The MB100 uses a single leaf spring (ala Chevy Corvette pero hindi transverse mount) and it is a good compromise between ride and load capacity.

Mojo,
Try mo diyan sa APIC. They handle Korean brands. Wala ako masyadong need for engine parts dun sa Kia. Aries at Fronte din ako kumukuha dati. Btw, may extra pair of Besta 2.2 oil filters ako dito. Benta ko na lang ng mura if you want. Orig and unused.

Thank you for the information! it's only now that i found out our MB100D that broke down last week is a SsanYong Istana with all the Mercedes Badges except for its steering wheel. Any suggestions where i could find surplus engines? What other type of engine would fit without altering parts? We got damaged pistons, crankshaft and a hole punctured in the crankcase. It just conked out and spew oil on the road.

Mercedes specialists like Sunshine, MCR, Charon, etc. can source an engine for you. However, they are also good at rebuilding engines.

Just get the same engine. I don't see a reason why you have to change to another type. These engines are bulletproof. What caused yours to disintegrate?

mga magkano nalang ba ang engine ng mb100?? and our mechanic says mas maganda pa daw kung ang kukunin e syangyong istana engine its that true??

Thanks otep. Do you have the email address of the shops you mentioned. We're located in the southern most part of the philippines zamboanga city. According to our mechanics here the oil pump malfunctioned which triggered a domino effect. It was the connecting rod that punctured the crankcase. Any idea how much it would cost to overhaul the entire engine including parts.
