Content Clarity Diagrams Illustrations: Expected to contain detailed line drawings and diagrams of engine components and systems. Searchability Text Searchability: As a printed document, text searchability is not inherent; requires manual indexing or physical searching. ⚙️ Engine Specifications Primary Engine Engine Family: Volvo D Series Diesel Engine Design: Direct Injection Diesel, likely inline-6 cylinder configuration for heavy-duty applications. Displacement: Estimated 9.6 - 12.0 Liters (D39A designation suggests a larger displacement engine within the D series, typical for F83). Performance Horsepower Range: Approximately 180 - 250 HP (depending on specific tune and turbocharging for the D39A variant). Torque Range: Approximately 600 - 850 Nm (typical for engines in this class). Governor Type: Mechanical Governor (likely). Fuel System Injection Type: Mechanical Indirect or Direct Injection (Common Rail likely not present for the era of F83, likely older Bosch rotary or inline pumps). Fuel Type: Diesel Fuel Engine Design Cylinder Configuration: Likely Inline 6-Cylinder. 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type: Manual Transmission (Typical for F83 era, often with range selection or splitter gears). Optional Optional Transmission: Automated Manual Transmission (less common but possible for later F83 variants). Features Gear Selection: Likely a 6-speed or 8-speed manual gearbox, potentially with a crawler gear or splitter. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Vehicle Type: Heavy Duty Truck Cab-over-Engine (COE) chassis. Weights Gross Vehicle Weight: Varies significantly by configuration, but typically 16,000 kg to 24,000 kg (GVM) for 2-axle or 3-axle variants. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Safety Standards Era: Reflects safety standards of the 1970s and 1980s, with an emphasis on mechanical integrity rather than electronic driver aids. Active Features Braking System: Hydraulic or Air-assisted hydraulic braking system with drum brakes as standard. Passive Features Cab Construction: Robust steel cab construction designed for durability and driver protection. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Infotainment Systems: Very basic for the era; typically an AM/FM radio and analog gauges. Driver Assistance Driver Assistance Features: None to minimal; primary driver assistance would be power steering (if equipped) and good visibility from the cab. Connectivity Connectivity Options: Not applicable to this era of vehicle. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Oil Change Interval: Typically 10,000 - 15,000 km or 250-500 operating hours (specific to heavy-duty diesel engines of the era). Filter Replacement: Fuel filter, oil filter, and air filter replacement typically aligned with oil changes or based on operating conditions. Fluid Specifications Engine Oil Type: API CD or CE rated multi-viscosity diesel engine oil, e.g., 15W-40 or 20W-50. Coolant Type: Ethylene Glycol...
