Volvo Penta 2002 explanation by DDZ Engineer

Scott from DDZ Largs (Scotland) explains our Volvo Penta 2002 to my wife. (Scott gave permission for this video to be uploaded) this engine has since been removed from the boat and replaced with a Beta 20

Amazing video. Thank you for taking the time to upload it. I will spend the weekend trying to revive one of these, let's see how it goes!

Very informative, especially the cold starting sequence. Thanks for taking the time making this!

[@davidshipkiss]

👍 I’m pleased you’ve found it useful.

[@MayaOpperman]

Brilliant thanks! The number of times we have manually cranked our engine without flipping that lever up 🙈

[@johnobiro5202]

Well explained. And very well questioned. Well done. Loved it.

[@davidshipkiss]

Glad you liked it!

[@WilliamFyans]

Thank you very much for an excellent video

[@stulloyd7129]

I have the same engine in my boat and this has been hugely useful, and I’m in Largs 😀

[@davidshipkiss]

Glad you found it useful Stu, we are at James Watt

[@directorstu]

Nice guy - explained things well

[@CBDav]

Holy Smokes at the yeah/yes! At one point 12 words were spoken and 6 of them were yes/yeah. Quite annoying. Wonderful explanation once I shut the sound off and read the wording. THANKS!

You guys still running this engine? I'm trying to locate where the "start/stop" control cable connects to the engine. Trying to bench start same engine and can't figure out the cold start "feature"

[@sailingachilles7810]

[@davidshipkiss]

Glad it was helpful!

Anyobody know how to drain and replace the coolant on this bad boy? I’ve got this very model on a beneteau with very poor access. I’m pretty sure I’ve felt the block drain on the bottom left, but for the life of me can’t find the valve. Many thanks to the kind soul who can help this brother out before Canadian winter starts!!!

Thanks

Hi - I have a VP2002 in my yacht - motor is raw-water cooled but overall in a similar condition to yours (cosmetically) How many hours did you have on your VP2002? And why did you remove the VP from your boat?

[@davidshipkiss]

Not sure how many hours it had I'm afraid - the rev counter / hours meter were not working when we bought her

[@dingdonggalgo8223]

I have problem in the same engine...no fuel coming out from tje high pressure pump thru injectors.... Any to recomend to cheak...?

[@davidshipkiss]

Check that you’ve bled the system properly and you’ve used the lift pump to prime the fuel.

[@datapeta]

Hi David, can you tell why you removed the motor? ta

[@davidshipkiss]

Pete, the engine mounts were shot so rather than replacing those we decided to replace the whole engine while we had the time and resources

[@peresvet5150]

Good afternoon, tell me, what idle speeds should be? Thanks.

[@davidshipkiss]

Sorry, the engine was sold more than a year ago

[@bricktopperheadon5490]

About 800rpm

[@twister2869]

You couldn't get him to tell her about my Yanmar could you? :-) hehe.....

[@MondoRockable]

How old was that diesel?

[@davidshipkiss]

I understand Volvo stopped making the Penta 2002 circa 1982, so I’m guessing roughly 35-40 years old.
