Engine Code:
Likely F6A (petrol) or similar diesel variants like SD20 or similar small displacement diesels for the S80/S85 series. Specific diesel engine code needed for definitive confirmation.
Engine Type:
Diesel (Inline 3-cylinder or 4-cylinder, naturally aspirated or turbocharged)
Displacement:
Typically around 1.0L to 1.3L for diesel variants of this era.
Horsepower Range:
Likely in the 40-60 HP range for typical diesel engines of this class.
Torque Range:
Torque figures would be modest, optimized for low-end grunt suitable for hauling.
Fuel Delivery:
Indirect injection or direct injection with rotary or inline injection pumps.
Emissions Control:
Euro I/II standards, EGR, glow plugs for cold starts.
Type:
5-speed manual transmission
Type:
Likely a 3-speed automatic transmission was available on some models.
Drive Layout:
Mid-engine, Rear-wheel drive (MR) or Mid-engine, All-wheel drive (4WD) were common configurations.
Gear Ratios:
Specific gear ratios would be detailed in the manual, optimized for economy and utility.
Length:
Variable by body style, typically within Kei car regulations (e.g., ~3.4m)
Width:
Variable by body style, typically within Kei car regulations (e.g., ~1.49m)
Height:
Variable by body style, can be quite tall for van configurations.
Curb Weight:
Typically 700-900 kg, depending on configuration.
Payload Capacity:
Significant for its size, designed for commercial use.
Crash Test Data:
Limited public data for this specific model from major rating agencies due to its commercial nature and market.
Braking System:
Front disc, rear drum brakes standard; ABS may be an option on later models or higher trims.
Seatbelts:
Standard front seatbelts, likely lap belts for older rear occupants if applicable.
Body Structure:
Reinforced chassis and safety cell design, but typical for its class and era.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically 5,000-10,000 km or 6-12 months, depending on operating conditions and oil type.
Air Filter Replacement:
Recommended every 15,000-30,000 km or annually.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Crucial for diesel; often recommended every 20,000-40,000 km.
Timing Belt Replacement:
If applicable to the diesel engine, typically every 70,000-100,000 km. Check manual for confirmation of belt vs. chain.
Engine Oil Type:
Diesel-specific engine oil, e.g., API CD/CE/CF, SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40 depending on climate.
Engine Oil Capacity:
Around 4.0-5.0 liters, depending on engine variant.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Manual: GL-4 gear oil; Automatic: Dexron II/III or equivalent.
Diesel Engine:
Glow plug issues, injector pump wear, carbon buildup in intake/exhaust, potential head gasket leaks if overheated.
Chassis Body:
Corrosion in critical areas (e.g., underbody, wheel wells), suspension wear due to commercial use.
Electrical System:
Aging wiring harnesses, corroded connectors, starter motor and alternator wear.
Daihatsu Legacy:
Daihatsu is known for its expertise in small, fuel-efficient vehicles, particularly Kei cars and light commercial vehicles.
Hijet Lineage:
The Hijet nameplate has a long history, dating back to the 1960s, evolving through numerous generations of microvans and trucks.
S85 Generation:
The S80 series, including the S85, was produced roughly from the late 1980s through the 1990s, succeeding earlier generations and preceding the S200 series.
