🔧 Transmission
Standard
Common Transmission Types:
The CF series trucks typically featured manual transmissions (e.g., ZF 9-speed or 16-speed synchromesh) and also offered automated manual transmissions (e.g., AS Tronic variants). The manual covers 'Gearbox' generally, implying comprehensive coverage for these types.
Optional
Automated Transmission Options:
Automated manual transmissions were increasingly common and offered as options, providing enhanced drivability and fuel efficiency. Coverage for these systems would be detailed in Group 3.
Features
Clutch Operation:
Details on clutch operation, adjustment, and replacement for both manual and automated systems would be present in the gearbox section.
📐 Dimensions
Exterior
Model Variants:
The CF series encompasses various configurations including rigid trucks and tractor units, with different wheelbases, cab heights (e.g., Day Cab, Sleeper Cab), and GVW ratings. Specific dimensions are not provided but would be detailed in Group 1 - Technical Data for each CF variant.
Weights
Gross Vehicle Weight:
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) ratings for the CF series pre-2007 typically ranged from 18 to 26 tonnes for rigid configurations, and Gross Combination Weight (GCW) for tractor units could extend significantly higher. Precise figures are model-dependent and found in Group 1.
🛡️ Safety Features
Ratings
Safety Standards:
Vehicles from this era would be designed to meet European safety standards applicable at the time. Specific crash ratings (e.g., Euro NCAP for cars) are not typically issued for commercial trucks in the same way, but the manual would cover safety-related systems.
Active Features
Braking System Components:
Comprehensive coverage of the braking system (Group 6), likely including air brake systems, ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), and potentially EBS (Electronic Braking System) depending on the exact vehicle specification. Details on brake adjustment, disc/pad replacement, and air system maintenance are expected.
Passive Features
Steering System Components:
Coverage of the steering system (Group 7), including power steering, steering linkage, and column components, crucial for vehicle control and safety.
💡 Technology Features
Infotainment
Pre 2007 Systems:
Infotainment systems in trucks of this period were generally basic, typically including an AM/FM radio with CD player, and potentially an auxiliary input. Advanced features like touchscreens, satellite navigation, or integrated smartphone mirroring were not common.
Driver Assistance
Ancillary Systems:
Key driver assistance systems covered would include ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and potentially aspects of electronic stability control on some later models. Cruise control would also be a standard or optional feature detailed within the electrical systems.
Connectivity
Diagnostic Interface:
The primary 'connectivity' aspect highlighted is the integration with the Davie diagnostic tool, which connects via the vehicle's OBD-II (or equivalent heavy-duty diagnostic port) for data access and control.
🔧 Maintenance
Service Intervals
Typical Intervals:
Detailed service intervals for engine oil and filter changes, air filter replacement, fuel filter replacement, and other key maintenance points will be found in the specific Maintenance Manuals (CF65, CF75, CF85) and within the relevant system groups. For example, engine oil changes are typically recommended every 40,000 to 60,000 km or annually, whichever comes first, depending on operating conditions.
Fluid Specifications
Coolant Type:
Coolant specifications would typically be a heavy-duty ethylene glycol-based antifreeze suitable for diesel engines, likely meeting G11 or G12 specifications, with a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Exact DAF specifications will be in the manual.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Transmission fluid specifications will vary significantly based on whether it's a manual or automated transmission. Manual gearboxes might use GL-4 or GL-5 rated gear oils, while automated transmissions often require specific ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) or specialized synthetic oils. Refer to Group 3 for precise specifications.
Brake Fluid Type:
As a heavy-duty truck, it will use DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid for hydraulic systems (if applicable for certain auxiliary systems) and compressed air system specifications for the air brakes, including draining of water traps.
Known Issues
Common Wear Items:
Based on general knowledge of trucks of this era, common wear items include clutch components, brake pads/discs, suspension bushings, wheel bearings, and EGR coolers or particulate filters if fitted to later pre-2007 models. Electrical issues, particularly wiring harness degradation or module failures, are also possible.
Troubleshooting
Diagnostic Approach:
The manual's emphasis on Davie Diagnostics indicates a systematic approach to troubleshooting, focusing on identifying fault codes and using guided tests to pinpoint issues within engine management, transmission control, ABS, and other electronic systems.
