Clutch Type:
Hydraulically operated single dry plate clutch (typical)
Crash Test Data:
Limited public crash test data available for this specific generation of LCV; manual focuses on repair and maintenance rather than safety ratings.
Braking System:
Front disc brakes, rear drum brakes (standard for many configurations); ABS and EBD were optional or standard on higher trims/later models.
Airbags:
Driver airbag typically standard; passenger airbag optional or standard on specific trims.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically 15,000 to 30,000 km or 12-24 months, depending on engine type, operating conditions, and oil specification (detailed schedule in manual).
Timing Belt Chain:
F1A and F1C engines utilize timing chains, while the 8140 diesel may use a timing belt or chain depending on specific variant (manual will specify).
Engine Oil Type:
Various API or ACEA specifications (e.g., ACEA E3, E5, E7, or specific Iveco specifications like S1 for Euro III engines). Manual will list exact OEM-approved oils and viscosity grades (e.g., 10W-40, 15W-40).
Transmission Fluid Type:
Manual transmissions typically require specific gear oils (e.g., API GL-4 or GL-5). Electro-mechanical transmissions may use specialized ATF or gear oil. Manual will specify.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based coolant with anti-corrosion inhibitors, typically OAT (Organic Acid Technology) or HOAT (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology). Manual will specify OEM coolant or equivalent.
Common Wear Items:
Front suspension components (bushings, ball joints), clutch wear, EGR valve issues (on later Euro III/IV variants), DPF regeneration issues (if equipped), turbocharger wear (especially with high mileage).
Electrical Gremlins:
Corrosion on connectors, faulty sensors (e.g., crankshaft position sensor), and issues with the central electronic module are sometimes reported.
Iveco Background:
Iveco (Industrial Commercial Vehicles) is an Italian brand with a strong heritage in commercial vehicles, buses, and trucks.
Daily Lineage:
The Iveco Daily has been produced since 1978 and is known for its ladder frame chassis construction, offering durability and load-carrying capability across generations.
Manufacturing Locations:
Produced globally, with significant manufacturing in Italy and other European countries.
