Manuals for Volvo Diesel Engines and Transmissions
including Volvo Penta
In 1927, the first engines in Volvo vehicles were made by the engine manufacturer Penta. Volvo bought out Penta in 1931 and made the company a subsiduary of Volvo in 1935.
In 2017, Volvo announced that it was stop development of new diesel engines and stop making diesel engines currently under production in 2023.

3 simple steps to make your diesel system reliable and robust
STEP ONE - Get the manuals for your equipment
Owner, Workshop and Parts Manuals are important documents that should be part of every vessel's library. They contain the detailed information necessary for safe operation, maintenance and correct servicing.
The manuals on this page are provided for public information and education and can be downloaded for free. All copyrights belong to copyright holders stated in the documents.
congratulations - by downloading these free manuals you are taking an important step towards making your engine more reliable and robust.
STEP TWO - regular maintenance
Simple, regular maintenance is the easiest, quickest and cheapest way to avoid problems and accelerated engine wear. Most expensive repairs start from a lack of basic maintenance or ignoring small warnings. The work is not difficult - it just needs to be done.
The purpose is so that we can enjoy our boat for all the reasons we bought her. Trust yourself. Do the work regularly and be methodical.
