To find the engine
number
The
engine number is located on the top surface of the cylinder block in front of
the first cylinder head, under the water pipe. (To read it, it’s easier to lie
on the wing with your head facing the radiator). If you take your engine number
to your local Scania dealer- I personally recommend Ellesmere Port Scania as being particularly helpful - they can
give you a print out of the build specifications for your engine. To find your local Scania
Dealer click here.
Part numbers for filters - Fleeetguard
items, available from any commercial truck factors.
Air filter AF 4856M
Oil
Fuel filter FL 5297
Engine Oil
Oil
grade- 15w40 (about 20 litres)
Cooolant
Scania's own coolant contains antifreeze and all the
other necessary additives. You will need 20- 25 litres
as the coolant capacity is 10- 11 gallons. A 30 to 50% mix is recommended.
Water pumps
These
are available and are in the region of £134 plus vat (retail).
Drive Belts
Six
different drive belts are listed for the engine, check the part number on yours
before ordering. Personally I would recommend the belt be changed as its
history and mileage is unknown.
