Additional Notes
- The DAF V 400 2.5 D produced from 1987-1989 carries a steering box fluid capacity of 0.5 liter under normal use conditions.
- From 1989 onward, the 2.5 D variant saw a reduction in steering box capacity to 0.45 liter, also specified under normal use conditions.
- The 0.45 liter figure applies equally to the 2.5 TD variant for the 1989-1993 period, meaning the turbodiesel and naturally aspirated engines share an identical steering box fluid capacity during those years.
- All three configurations reference a steering box rather than a rack-and-pinion assembly, which is consistent with the heavier-duty steering geometry typical of commercial vehicles in the V 400 class.
- The small volume across all configurations, ranging from 0.45 to 0.5 liter, is characteristic of a steering box reservoir fill rather than a full hydraulic system flush, reflecting the compact fluid circuit associated with this type of steering arrangement.
