2.5 PARTS
All DAF parts and components have been
carefully attuned to each other, a decisive factor
in ensuring the original DAF quality.
It is only logical, therefore, that the original DAF
quality can be maintained best if original DAF
parts and components are used when replacing
parts or components.
As far as maintenance activities are concerned,
this includes components such as windscreen-
wiper blades, air-dryer elements, gaskets, V-belts
and filters.
For example, if "non-original DAF filters" are
used, the engine will be insufficiently protected
against fine microscopic airborne dust particles,
almost imperceptible metal swarf in the oil and
dirt in the fuel, resulting in:
- premature replacing of cylinders, pistons,
bearings, valves, injector pump and other
moving parts
- reduced engine performance
- increased fuel consumption
Therefore, always use original DAF parts and
components.
