LDV Convoy / V400

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

LDV Convoy / V400 requires power steering fluid with a capacity range of 0,45 to 1,5 liters. Service intervals consist of checks every 20000 km or 12 months. The data covers 3 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The LDV V400 3.5 (1989-1999) with power steering carries a fluid capacity of 1.5 liters, which reflects the volume required to fill the power steering reservoir, pump, and associated lines in a hydraulic assist system.
  • Both the manual steering configurations across the V400 3.5 (1989-1999) and the Convoy 2.0 LPG (2000-2006) share an identical capacity of 0.45 liters, a figure consistent with the smaller fluid volume a recirculating ball or rack-and-pinion manual steering gear requires for lubrication without hydraulic assistance.
  • The V400 3.5 (1989-1999) is listed with two separate steering configurations, one with power steering at 1.5 liters and one with manual steering at 0.45 liters, indicating that the same engine and model year range was available with either steering setup, each carrying a distinct fluid capacity.
  • All three rows share a uniform service interval of every 20,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, applying equally to both the power and manual steering variants across the covered model years.
  • The Convoy 2.0 LPG (2000-2006) is noted as a manual steering configuration despite appearing in a power steering fluid specification context, with a capacity of 0.45 liters and the same 20,000 km or 12-month check interval under normal use conditions.
