Fiat Ducato 2.8 JTD 1998

4 star review

I purchased my Fiat Ducato 2.8 JTD in 2008 from Newcastle Australia with 247000km’s on it at the time. I have covered 588000km’s on it at the moment and it still pulls hard. No smoke no hesitation of power. Since then: Fuel pump reconditioned at 390000 km’s; Turbo reconditioned at 450000 km’s; Gearbox replaced at 500000 km’s ( not bad considering it’s towing a 2.5T trailer). The front 3 radiators has been replaced at 515000 together with everything front and around them. The reason? A wombat wasn’t fast enough crossing the Great Western Highway (destroyed the whole front end!) Now the fan switch has gone and the airconditioning is leaking slightly so in about 3 months it needs a regas. The front shock absorbers are gone due all those country roads in QLD. Otherwise I’m very happy with the van. It needs an upgrade soon though.

Fiat Ducato 2.5 Tdi diesel motorhome 1998

4 star review

I am reasonably happy with my Ducato, it is after all ten years old. I was surprised to find that it is not wax injected on production. I wish to comment on Rich Davenport’s problem ie. the discharging vehicle battery. I had a similar fault which turned out to be the split charge unit. One of the relay contacts had stuck leaving the lesure battery permanently connected across the vehicle battery. This had resulted in the lesure batteries fuse blowing when I started the van and the vehicle battery being connected to the habitation 12 volt system whilst the lesure battery was disconnected by the blown fuse. Hence the vehicle battery was feeding the various devices that I leave on when I park up the van and loosing it’s charge. Hope this helps, Ian Barker.

I also run a Fiat Ducato 1998 motorhome which I have not had any problems with since I bought it in 1998.
