Volvo Action Service (VAS)

Volvo Action Service (VAS) is a consumer breakdown service

available 24 hours each day, 365 days per year. If your engine

breaks down, the VAS coordinator will quickly locate your

nearest dealer. If you need a tow, parts, or mechanic, the VAS

coordinator will make all arrangements necessary to get you

back underway as soon as possible. Membership to Volvo Ac-

tion Service is provided automatically to all Volvo Penta engine

owners. As long as your Volvo Penta engine is under factory

warranty, this service is absolutely free for Volvo Penta-related

repairs. Towing is not covered by the Volvo Penta warranty.

Once your warranty period has expired, there is a charge per

managed breakdown, plus any additional costs incurred for

towing, parts, or repairs.

If you have a question about Volvo Action Service, or need

additional information, call toll-free 1-877-33-PENTA.

Doing your own maintenance and re-

pairs

If you plan to do your own maintenance and repairs on your

Volvo Penta products, you should purchase a set of service

manuals that pertain to your particular engine and drive. Keep

in mind, however, that there are certain tasks that should only

be performed by your Volvo Penta dealer. He has the tools,

expertise, and most current information needed to properly

perform these tasks.

"Dealer-only" maintenance items are listed in the Mainte-

nance Schedule .

Parts and accessories

Genuine Volvo Penta parts are the result of many hours of

strenuous testing, and fulfill Volvo Penta's strict quality and

safety requirements. Your authorized dealer has a complete

line of (or may order) genuine Volvo Penta parts, accessories,

coolants, and lubricants. When replacements are required,

use only Volvo Penta genuine parts.

Purchase all Volvo Penta replacement parts, accessories,

coolants, and lubricants from an authorized Volvo Penta deal-

er. He has needed parts in stock for routine maintenance, as

well as the information needed to order special parts and ac-

cessories for you.

Only authorized Volvo Penta dealers may purchase genuine

parts and accessories directly from the factory. Volvo Penta
