Hello all,
i have a 2007 caravelle with a 5.0 gxi-f.
I have been having a ground issue, so I decided to get a selocmarine repair manual.
Unfortunately it lists all other engines, but mine. What gives???
I verified it was a type F by the tag on the cover above the flame arrestor.
havent checked the block yet, it is raining, so later.
what other types would be compatable In the manual?
I can piecemeal drawings together, but do not know if it is 100% correct.
I can find info and parts for a 5.0 gxi-f all over, but not schematics.


thanks

Unfortunately the Seloc is about the worst one out there.
Clymer is a little better but nothing beats a factory service manual.
The Volvo's expensive for EVERYTHING. About $45
They don't sell Volvo manuals here(I can't find them)
marine engine . com has some
1-800-916-1123 call that # and they can direct you to the right book.

Might have to go that route. The biggest issue I have is going from engine wiring to instrument panel.
it looks like I am supposed to have a 14 pin main connector that connects the two. It appears that for some reason this plug
was cut out and the wires were spliced. I cant find any plugs like that. But looking at the wiring for the instrument panel, this should be a round plug.
dont find any round plugs either.

Go to the Volvo penta site and download the PDF. Older manuals are still free. Newer ones only a few $. Then use the seloc and clymer manuals as knee pads

I looked there, it looks like that the manual from volvo can only be bought in paper.
