Displacement:
2.0 Liters (approx. 1998 cc)
Configuration:
Inline-4 Cylinder
Valve Train:
SOHC or DOHC (likely 16 valves)
Fuel Delivery:
Multi-Point Fuel Injection (MPI)
Horsepower Estimated:
Approximately 110-115 HP @ ~5400-5800 RPM (typical for this engine size and era)
Torque Estimated:
Approximately 170-180 Nm @ ~3000-4000 RPM
Fuel Type:
Unleaded Petrol (Gasoline)
Ignition System:
Electronic Ignition, Distributorless (DIS) or Coil-on-Plug
Engine Oil Type:
Refer to manual for specific API/ACEA specifications (e.g., ACEA A3/B4, SAE 5W-40 or 10W-40 likely)
Coolant Type:
Ethylene Glycol based antifreeze/coolant (e.g., Paraflu UP or equivalent)
Oil Capacity With Filter:
Approximately 4.5 - 5.0 Liters (check manual for exact capacity)
Wheelbase Options:
Multiple wheelbase options available (e.g., short, medium, long)
Body Styles:
Panel Van, Combi Van, Chassis Cab, Minibus
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating Gvwr:
Varies significantly by configuration (e.g., 2.5 - 3.5 tons)
Oil Change Interval:
Typically 15,000 km or 1 year, whichever comes first (check manual for exact recommendation based on driving conditions).
Air Filter Replacement:
Every 30,000-40,000 km or as per manual recommendations.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Typically 60,000 - 80,000 km for standard spark plugs, iridium may last longer.
Timing Belt Replacement:
Crucial! For this petrol engine, typically around 90,000 - 120,000 km or 5-6 years. Critical to follow manual. Failure can cause severe engine damage.
Common Issue 1:
Timing belt failure if not replaced on schedule.
Common Issue 2:
Wear on suspension components (ball joints, bushings) due to vehicle load and usage.
Common Issue 3:
Electrical gremlins, particularly with door locks, windows, or dashboard lights, especially as the vehicle ages.
Common Issue 4:
Corrosion on bodywork and chassis, especially in areas exposed to road salt.
