Mixing yellow and green coolant can cause gelling and blockages within the cooling system.

If you are running on Volvo Penta green coolant, continue to use green coolant.

Please do not mix or change the coolant type once one has been used. TAMD diesel engines run on Volvo green coolant. The heat exchanger and air cooler on any TAMD should be cleaned and all the "O" rings changed, every 5 years to prevent overheating.

Day fee will increase once the brain power is needed. The fuel economy of Volvos EDC (Electronic Diesel Control) is another plus. From flywheel to alternator drive-belt pulley, the 74P EDC is 1142mm long while the overall width is 794mm and height a fairly imposing 937mm. I find that most things now a days are way smarter than most of us. At 860kg in bobtail form (sans gearbox), the 74P EDC is 67 heavier than Yanmars 6LY2-STE. However, I am an old school guy living in a high tech world. Attempted to calibrate the entire shift / throttle mechanisms per manual. Would you rather save $40.00 worth of fuel on a canyon trip, or spend an extra 40 and be able to fix a problem 100 miles off yourself ? Attempted to adjust idle speed via calibrating the EDC per manual. There is not a lot of technology 100 miles out. The new stuff with all the sensors and chips are fantastic until something reads a failure code. It has parts that most humans can understand and fix if you have any kind of mechanical knowledge and abilities. A" little" smoke in the cold weather until she warms up.
