Fiat Ducato 2.8 idTD engine (2001)?

[Eddiex]

I'm looking at a Auto Trail that is fitted with the 2.8idTD engine. My online search with regard to this engine has thrown up conflicting pros and cons. I understand that the JTD was the replacement that came with the different fuel injection system and maybe an increase in power. Some mention the 5th gear issues but I can't quite work out which model years that were affected?

Does anyone here have any experiences with vans fitted with these engines - good or bad?

Thanks

Don't know where you live in Surrey but I've used a Water company garage at Redhill that accepts MH's. Get my MOT and servicing done there. Customer facilities are pretty basic.

Thanks for the heads up. We are Surbiton, so not super near, but I could always take my bike on the back and go for a cycle ride whilst it’s in for repair. Nice part of the world for a ride.
