Interestingly it shows that my engine was built with a turbocharger fitted. All
other ancillaries are listed as supplied "with" or
"without".
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.

Part

available from any commercial truck factors.

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.
