Primary Engine Types Expected:
This generation of Iveco Daily typically featured a range of diesel engines, including naturally aspirated and turbocharged variants. Specific engine codes and displacements would require access to more detailed vehicle identification, but common options included 2.5L and 2.8L displacement (e.g., SOFIM engines).
Power And Torque Ranges:
Varied significantly based on specific engine variant and turbocharging. Horsepower typically ranged from approximately 75 HP to 115 HP, with corresponding torque figures suitable for commercial vehicle applications.
Fuel System Type:
Likely mechanical injection pumps for diesel engines, potentially with indirect or direct injection depending on the specific engine model. Some later models might have seen early forms of electronic control. Common rail injection was not prevalent in this generation.
Injection Timing:
Specific injection timing specifications for diesel engines are critical and will be detailed in the manual for each engine variant.
Engine Components Covered:
Cylinder head, block, pistons, crankshaft, camshafts, timing system (belts/chains), lubrication system, cooling system, fuel injection system, exhaust manifold, turbocharger (if fitted), air intake system.
Standard Transmission Type:
Manual transmission was standard across most of the Daily 2 range. Typically 5-speed manual gearboxes.
Optional Transmission Type:
While less common, some variants may have offered automated manual transmissions or longer-ratio manual gearboxes for specific applications.
Transmission Features:
Robust construction for commercial use, designed for durability and load-carrying capacity. Gear ratios optimized for hauling and varied operational demands.
Transmission Components Covered:
Gearbox casing, input shaft, output shaft, gears, synchromesh rings, shift forks, clutch release mechanism, manual selector linkage, transfer case (if applicable for 4x4 variants).
Vehicle Type:
Light commercial vehicle (LCV), panel van, chassis cab, minibus variants.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating:
GVWR varied widely depending on chassis configuration, typically ranging from 3.5 tonnes to over 5.0 tonnes, allowing for different payload capacities.
Curb Weight:
Varied significantly based on body style and configuration, but typically in the range of 1800 kg to 2500 kg.
Wheel Bolt Pattern:
Typically 5x130 mm for many Iveco Daily models of this era, but specific variants might differ. The manual will confirm precise specifications.
Typical Tire Sizes:
Commonly 195 R14C, 205 R14C, or similar commercial-grade radial tires. Specific sizes depend on original wheel diameter and load rating requirements.
Chassis Type:
Ladder-frame chassis, designed for robustness and load-bearing capacity, suitable for various body conversions.
Passive Safety Features:
Robust chassis construction, seat belts, interior impact absorption (basic for the era). Advanced passive safety features like airbags were not standard or widely available during this period.
Active Safety Features:
Hydraulic power steering (dependent on configuration), hydraulic disc brakes (front) and drum brakes (rear) were standard. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) was an optional feature on some higher-specification models.
Crash Test Ratings:
Euro NCAP or similar formal crash test ratings for this specific generation were less common or less stringent than modern standards. The manual will focus on mechanical safety and repair integrity.
Infotainment Features:
Basic analog radio systems, potentially with cassette players. Features were utilitarian and focused on functionality rather than advanced entertainment.
Driver Assistance Systems:
Limited to power steering (on some variants) and ABS as an optional extra. Features like traction control, stability control, or advanced cruise control were not available.
Connectivity Features:
No factory-fitted digital connectivity options like Bluetooth or USB ports. Auxiliary input for radios might have been available on some later models.
Engine Oil Change Interval:
Typically 10,000 - 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, but best confirmed via specific engine manual chapter.
Transmission Fluid Change Interval:
Recommended at 50,000 - 75,000 km, or as specified in the manual for the specific gearbox type.
Brake Fluid Change Interval:
Generally recommended every 2 years due to moisture absorption, regardless of mileage.
Engine Oil Specification:
Likely API CG-4 or ACEA E2/B2 specifications for diesel engines of that era. Specific viscosity grades (e.g., 15W-40) would be detailed in the manual.
Transmission Fluid Specification:
GL-4 rated manual transmission fluid, with specific viscosity grades (e.g., 75W-90 or 80W-90) depending on ambient temperature and gearbox design.
Coolant Specification:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze/coolant with corrosion inhibitors, typically a long-life formula or a traditional green type, meeting Iveco's specific OEM requirements.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch wear, suspension bushings, brake components (pads, discs, drums), exhaust system corrosion, starter motor and alternator reliability are common points of attention in vehicles of this age.
Engine Related Concerns:
Potential for injector pump issues, turbocharger wear (if equipped), and glow plug system failures. Engine oil leaks can also occur with age and mileage.
Electrical System Concerns:
Corrosion in wiring connectors, alternator output degradation, and failure of auxiliary switches or lighting components can be common due to age and exposure.
