The IVECO DAILY 35C15 (2006-2011) has earned its place as a prominent commercial vehicle on New Zealand roads, recognized for its rugged chassis and impressive payload options. This versatile workhorse is not just built to last; it's designed to excel in various settings—from construction sites to camper conversions. At CARFIX, we celebrate the durability and practicality of vehicles like the Daily, offering insights for current owners and those considering this reliable model for their needs.
Common issues with the Iveco Daily (2006-2011) include turbocharger failures (especially if oil changes are neglected), injector problems (leading to poor performance and fuel economy), differential wear (due to the high payloads and strain on the drivetrain), rust (particularly in coastal areas), and electrical issues (sensor malfunctions and wiring problems). Suspension wear is also prevalent, and can cause instability at high speeds. The electronically controled braking system may sometimes throw fault codes. Check the condition of the rear springs and related shackles.
WOF tips
During a WOF inspection, pay close attention to: Chassis condition (inspect for rust and cracks, especially around suspension mounting points), brake performance (ensure even braking and adequate stopping power), tyre condition (check for wear and damage appropriate to the load rating), suspension components (worn bushes and ball joints are common), and exhaust system (check for leaks and excessive smoke). Steering play, and the operation of load sensing valves if fitted should also be checked. Given the weight these carry, always check tyre pressures.
About the Iveco Daily 35C15
What truly sets the IVECO DAILY apart is its robust separate chassis construction, providing superior strength for even the heaviest loads. Designed for high performance, it's important that owners stay on top of routine maintenance to keep it in prime condition. Critical parts like the turbocharger, injectors, and the differential should be checked regularly to prevent costly repairs down the line. For entities operating under demanding conditions, timely servicing is essential; focus on the cooling and driveline components to ensure longevity. Notably, around the 150,000km mark, the cooling system deserves particular attention. The water pump, thermostat, and radiator hoses should be inspected to avoid overheating issues. Explore our cooling products here.
Braking components also require periodic care to maintain safety and efficiency. Regular front and rear brake services, which cover essential components such as pads and rotors, will definitely improve performance. Having your braking system inspected is crucial, especially if you’re hauling heavy loads frequently. Our front brake and rear brake service packs provide all the essentials needed to keep you secure on the road. Additionally, ensure that the filtration system is up to date; regular changes to oil, air, and fuel filters can greatly enhance engine performance and fuel efficiency. Check our filtration products here. Keeping an eye on these areas guarantees that your IVECO DAILY stays strong and reliable for years to come.
