Leyland DAF 200

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Leyland DAF 200 uses power steering fluid with a capacity of 0,45 liter. Service intervals occur every 20000 km or 12 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • All four V200 variants share a uniform power steering fluid capacity of 0.45 liter, which is consistent with a recirculating ball steering box design rather than a rack-and-pinion rack, as steering boxes typically hold smaller fluid volumes than full hydraulic rack assemblies.
  • The steering system across all listed V200 configurations is identified as a steering box type, a design common in light commercial vehicles of the late 1980s and early 1990s that uses a worm gear or recirculating ball mechanism to translate steering input.
  • The service interval for all four variants is a fluid check at 20,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, meaning the interval is defined by both distance and time as parallel thresholds.
  • The Leyland DAF 200 V200 1.7 petrol covers the model years 1989-1992, a shorter production span than the 1.9 D and 2.0 variants, both of which run through 1999, yet all share the same 0.45 liter capacity and check interval.
  • The V200 2.0 Di diesel is specified for 1989-1994, a narrower range than the naturally aspirated 1.9 D, and carries the same steering box capacity of 0.45 liter at the same 20,000 km or 12-month check interval under normal conditions.
  • The consistent 0.45 liter figure across petrol and diesel variants, including the 1.7, 1.9 D, 2.0, and 2.0 Di, indicates that the steering box unit was shared across the V200 range regardless of engine type, as fluid capacity reflects the housing volume of the steering gear rather than engine output.
