General Information
About this Workshop Manual
This Workshop Manual contains technical specifica-
tions, descriptions and instructions for the repair of
the following engines in standard format: 2001, 2002,
2003, 2003T. This Workshop Manual can show opera-
tions carried out on any of the engines listed above.
As a result the illustrations and pictures in the manual
that show certain parts on the engines, do not in some
cases apply to all the engines listed. However the re-
pair and service operations described are in all essen-
tial details the same. Where they are not the same
this is stated in the manual and where the difference
is considerable the operations are described separate-
ly. The Engine Designations and Engine Number can
be found on the product plate (refer to page 14).
Please always include both the engine designation
and the engine number in all correspondance.
The Workshop Manual is produced primarily for the
use of Volvo Penta workshops and service techni-
cians. For this reason the manual presupposes a cer-
tain basic knowledge of marine propulsion systems
and that the user can carry out the mechanical/electri-
cal work described to a general standard of engineer-
ing competence.
Volvo Penta products are under a continual process of
development and we therefore reserve all rights re-
garding changes and modifications. All the information
in this manual is based on product specifications
available at the time the book was published. Any es-
sential changes or modifications introduced into pro-
duction or updated or revised service methods intro-
duced after the date of publication will be provided in
the form of Service Bulletins.
Replacement parts
Replacement parts for the electrical and fuel systems
are subject to various national safety requirements,
for example the United States Coast Guard Safety
Regulations. Volvo Penta Original Spare Parts meet
these specifications. Any type of damage which is the
result of using replacement parts that are not original
Volvo Penta replacement parts for the product in
question will not be covered under any warranty or
guarantee provided by AB Volvo Penta.
Certificated engines
Engines certificated to meet national and regional en-
vironmental legislation (for example Lake Constance)
carry with them an undertaking from the manufacturer
that both new and existing engines in use meet the
enviromental demands of the legislation. The product
must correspond to the validated example that was
granted certification. In order for Volvo Penta as the
manufacturer to take responsibility for engines in use,
certain requirements regarding service and spare parts
must be met by the user according to the following:
• The Service Intervals and maintenance operations
recommended by Volvo Penta must be followed.
• Only Volvo Penta Original Spare Parts intended for
the certificated engine may be used.
• Service work on the ignition system, timing and
fuel injection system (gasoline) or injection pump
and injectors (diesel) must always be carried out
by an authorized Volvo Penta workshop.
• The engine may not be altered or modified in any
way, with the exception of accessories and service
kits developed by Volvo Penta for that engine.
• No modifications to the exhaust pipes and air sup-
ply ducts for the engine room (ventilation ducts)
may be undertaken as this may effect exhaust
emissions.
• Any seals on the engine may not be broken other
than by authorized persons.
IMPORTANT! If replacement parts are required
use only Volvo Penta Original Parts. Use of re-
placement parts other than AB Volvo Penta
Original Parts will result in AB Volvo Penta
being unable to assume any liability that the
engine corresponds to the certificated en-
gine variant. Volvo Penta AB excludes any lia-
bility for all and any type of damage or costs
caused by the use of replacement parts that
are not Volvo Penta Original Parts for the prod-
uct in question.
