Cylinder head attachment bolts
Cylinder head bolts must only be used once .
So the cylinder head bolts should always be
replaced. The new cylinder head bolts have a
red/brown sealant on the thread.
Note:
-Because of the sealant used on the cylinder
head bolts, their untightening torque may be
very high!
-All M16 and M12 threaded holes must be
carefully cleaned with a screw tap before
the bolts are fitted.
-Once the bolts have been tightened to the
specified torque, the angular displacement
of the M16 bolts must immediately be
started.
-The sealant cannot be applied later.

There may be several reasons for improper
vehicle performance.
Some of these may be mechanical, others are
particularly also of a psychological nature.
It is therefore important to properly identify the
problem.
Try to get as much information as possible from
the customer or driver.
-When does the vehicle not perform
properly?
-In what road or weather conditions?
-How is the vehicle loaded?
-Is the vehicle not being compared with a
vehicle with completely different
specifications, for instance engine power?
1
-Is the vehicle being driven in the correct
engine speed range?
If the answers are unsatisfactory, ask the
customer or driver for facts.
-Tachograph cards of trips
-Reliable consumption figures of trips

Tractive problems95XF series
Following proper identification of the complaint,
vehicle performance can be tested by an
acceleration test.
If the vehicle fails to pass the acceleration test, a
boost pressure curve may be plotted as an aid
to identify the cause.
Note:
Checking the boost pressure will in general only
make sense after the vehicle has covered at
least 20,000 km.
The test sheets are available through the DAF
organisation.
For plotting a boost pressure curve, see Group 4
of the workshop manual.

95XF seriesTractive problems
1.2ACCELERATION TEST
(engine model with conventional fuel system)
The acceleration test is required to acquire an
effective understanding of the fuel consumption
and tractive force of a vehicle. When carrying
out the test the legal regulations should be
observed and maximum security be ensured.
Compared with other diagnostic tools, this test is
a fast and cheap way of checking whether the
vehicle meets DAF’s requirements and,
therefore, whether or not the complaint is
justified.
During the acceleration test the time required to
accelerate the loaded vehicle from starting
speed to final speed is measured. (Weight of
entire combination at least 75% of the train
weight, GCW).
To eliminate weather influences and road
conditions, this test must be done in both driving
directions. The average acceleration time is
obtained by averaging both measured times.
1
The maximum acceleration time, the speeds
between which the time is to be measured and
the gear to be engaged for the various vehicle
configurations is calculated using the DAF
“Topec” route simulation computer program.
For this purpose, “Topec” needs the following
and other vehicle data:
-vehicle type
-height of the entire vehicle combination
-weight of entire vehicle combination (at
least 75% of the train weight)
-aerodynamic influences, e.g. roof spoilers,
fenders, etc.
-engine type
-gearbox type and reduction
-rear axle type and axle reduction
-tyresize
-cab type.

DIAGNOSIS

Tractive problems95XF series
Before starting the acceleration test
-Check the tyre pressure of the entire vehicle
combination. Also check the tyres for a
deviating wear pattern.
-Examine the complete condition of the
trailer or semi-trailer.
-Check the entire vehicle combination for
adverse aerodynamic influences, for
instance loose tarpaulins, wrongly adjusted
spoilers and fenders.
-Check the vehicle and trailer or semi-trailer
for excessive road drag. Be aware of
dragging brakes.
-Check the tachograph. The speed signal
should be present.
-Check that the correct k-factor is set on the
tachograph.
-Check that the fuel pump of the engine has
been provided with the original seal.
-Check that the throttle control is able to
reach the maximum stop of the fuel pump.
Acceleration test
1.Use the “Acceleration test form” in the
workshop manual.
2.Check the activities as set out under
“Before starting the acceleration test”.
3.Choose a test route where the difference
between the measured times in both
directions does not exceed 15%. If the
difference in time exceeds 15%, find
another test route.
4.Establish the starting and end points on the
selected test route, to ensure that exactly
the same route can be taken in both
directions. Do the entire test at least twice
and take the average time.

5.Run the drive train at operating temperature
(drive for at least 15 minutes with a loaded
vehicle).
Note:
When switched on, the air compressor and fan
consume 10 to 15 kW engine power on average.
During the test try to avoid that both consumers
are or have been switched on.
6.Before the starting point on the test route,
engage the gear specified by Topec and
make sure the vehicle speed is at least
3 km/h below the starting speed.
7.Fully depress the accelerator pedal and
(using a stopwatch) measure the time
needed to accelerate the vehicle from
starting speed to end speed.
Result of first acceleration test
If the acceleration time is not achieved, first
carry out the following work.

1.3ACCELERATION TEST
(engine model with UPEC fuel system)
The acceleration test is required to acquire an
effective understanding of the fuel consumption
and tractive force of a vehicle. When carrying
out the test the legal regulations should be
observed and maximum security be ensured.
Compared with other diagnostic tools, this test is
a fast and cheap way of checking whether the
vehicle meets DAF’s requirements and,
therefore, whether or not the complaint is
justified.
During the acceleration test the time required to
accelerate the loaded vehicle from starting
speed to final speed is measured. (Weight of
entire combination at least 75% of the train
weight, GCW).
To eliminate weather influences and road
conditions, this test must be done in both driving
directions. The average acceleration time is
obtained by averaging both measured times.
1
The maximum acceleration time, the speeds
between which the time is to be measured and
the gear to be engaged for the various vehicle
configurations is calculated using the DAF
“Topec” route simulation computer program.
For this purpose, “Topec” needs the following
and other vehicle data:
-vehicle type
-height of the entire vehicle combination
-weight of entire vehicle combination (at
least 75% of the train weight)
-aerodynamic influences, e.g. roof spoilers,
fenders, etc.
-engine type
-gearbox type and reduction
-rear axle type and axle reduction
-tyresize
-cab type.

Tractive problems95XF series
Before starting the acceleration test
-Check the tyre pressure of the entire vehicle
combination. Also check the tyres for a
deviating wear pattern.
-Examine the complete condition of the
trailer or semi-trailer.
-Check the entire vehicle combination for
adverse aerodynamic influences, for
instance loose tarpaulins, wrongly adjusted
spoilers and fenders.
-Check the vehicle and trailer or semi-trailer
for excessive road drag. Be aware of
dragging brakes.
-Check the tachograph. The speed signal
should be present.
-Check that the correct k-factor is set on the
tachograph.
-Using DAVIE, check whether the pedal can
be depressed 100% with the gas pedal
position sensor.
Acceleration test
1.Use the “Acceleration test form” in the
workshop manual.
2.Check the activities as set out under
“Before starting the acceleration test”.
3.Choose a test route where the difference
between the measured times in both
directions does not exceed 15%. If the
difference in time exceeds 15%, find
another test route.
4.Establish the starting and end points on the
selected test route, to ensure that exactly
the same route can be taken in both
directions. Do the entire test at least twice
and take the average time.

5.Run the drive train at operating temperature
(drive for at least 15 minutes with a loaded
vehicle).
Note:
When switched on, the air compressor and fan
consume 10 to 15 kW engine power on average.
During the test try to avoid that both consumers
are or have been switched on.
6.Connect DAVIE and follow the instructions
in DAVIE.
7.Fully depress the brake pedal during the
acceleration test.

If the acceleration time is not achieved, first
carry out the following work.
-Check the fuel system for the presence of

Repeat the acceleration test. If necessary, plot a
boost pressure curve.
The acceleration test can also be carried out
using DAVIE. Collect all the required information
and, having started DAVIE, access the engine
management system installed on the vehicle
(E-gas, ASL-G or UPEC) and carefully follow the
instructions in DAVIE in order to carry out the
test correctly.
Following each test, the test results should
always be stored on a disk.
The acceleration test in DAVIE
should only be started when the
vehicle is at a complete standstill.
Because the communication
between the accelerator pedal
sensor and the unit is interrupted
briefly during starting of DAVIE, this
could lead to very dangerous
situations in a vehicle which is not
at a complete standstill.
Never switch to the direct test or
fault-finding test when driving the
vehicle.

1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not run the engine in an enclosed or
unventilated area.
Make sure exhaust fumes are properly
extracted.
Maintain a safe distance from rotating and/or
moving components.
Various sorts of oil and other lubricants used on
the vehicle may constitute a health hazard.
This also applies to engine coolant, windscreen
washer fluid, refrigerant in air-conditioning
systems, battery acid and diesel fuel.
So avoid inhaling and direct contact.
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is a deadly, colourless and
odourless gas, which, when inhaled, deprives
the body of oxygen, leading to asphyxiation.
Serious carbon monoxide poisoning may result
in brain damage or death.

It is recommended to always disconnect the
battery’s earth connection during repair or
maintenance activities for which the power
supply is not required.

Inspection, V-belt tension
Check the V-belt by means of a belt-tension
gauge. The advantage of this method is a higher
measuring accuracy of the pre-tension, so that
the service life of the V-belt, among other things,
can be prolonged.
There are two versions: belt tension “Krikit I”,
to be used with the single belt version
(DAF no. 1240442), belt tension “Krikit II”
to be used with the twin belt version
(DAF no. 1240443).
The difference between belt-tension gauge
“Krikit I” and belt-tension gauge “Krikit II” is that
the latter has a larger belt support area.

3.5CHECKING THE FLYWHEEL
1.If the flywheel shows marks on the contact
surface with the clutch plate, the flywheel
may be ground down, on condition that the
cracks are not within 5 mm of the inner rim.
5 mm
2.The flywheel has an indicator groove for
inspection purposes.
3.Grinding down is allowed until the indicator
groove has just disappeared. This means
that a maximum of 2 mm may be ground
down.
Inspection, flywheel swing
1.Clean the flywheel.
2.Place a metal strip on the edge of the
flywheel housing to install a dial gauge.
3.Place the dial gauge on the metal strip.
4.Place the dial gauge of the stylus at the
specified distance, see main group
“Technical data”.
5.Set the dial gauge to “0”.
6.Place the fuel pump in the stop position and
lock it in this position.
7.Use the special tool (DAF no. 1310477) to

3.6INSPECTION, ENGINE COMPRESSION PRESSURE
Be careful when working on an
engine at operating temperature.
When the engine is run without the
valve covers, hot lubricating oil may
escape from the engine. Make sure
you are adequately protected.
2
A compression measurement serves to rapidly
check the valve seals, the valve gasket seal and
the seal between the cylinder lining and the
piston rings.
The measuring results may only be used for
comparing the various cylinders.
1.Run the engine to operating temperature.
2.Place the fuel pump in the stop position.
Lock the fuel pump in this position.
3.Remove the valve covers, see chapter
“Removal and installation”.
4.Remove the injectors.
5.Turn the engine a number of times using
the starting motor, so that any carbon or dirt
particles in the cylinder are removed.
6.Install the dummy-injector
(DAF no. 1329306), compression
gauge (DAF no. 1329301) and adapter
(DAF no. 0694972).
7.Carry out the measurement by rotating the
engine using the starter motor, until the
gauge reading no longer rises. For the
mutual allowable differential pressures, see
main group “Technical data”.
8.Remove the dummy injector and install the
injectors.
9.Fit the valve covers, see chapter
“Removal and installation”.

3.7INSPECTION, CYLINDER HEAD
1.Check the sealing plugs of the cylinder
head for leaks. If necessary, pressure-test
the cylinder head.
2.Check the cylinder head for damage on the
sealing face, and possible cracks. If
necessary, have the cylinder head levelled,
see main group “Technical data”.
3.8INSPECTION, GLOW FILAMENTS

Note:
To avoid engine damage it is important that the
glow filaments should be checked periodically.
1.Check the glow filaments for the following
points:
-windings that have worn thin due to
abrasion (A);
-filament end broken or worn thin due to
continuous knocking of a loose
insulator (see B);
-broken plug windings (C).
2.Replace all glow filaments if one or more of
the above-mentioned situations occurs.
