Technical 1992 Ducato 2.5 TD Engine type?

[Mattducato]

How do I confirm what engine is in my ducato motorhome?

Is there a plate on the engine with the engine type on, thats easy to see?

Are all fiat engines fitted with Bosch fuel pumps?

Thanks

Matt

Will be 8140.27 or similar

As yours is the 2.5 Turbo diesel unit it'll be "U25/661".

(From memory "U25/651" was the non-turbo unit....many people think the turbo'd engine was just the non-turbo engine with a turbo bolted on, but it ain't: the specs of a number of the internal components were changed to better handle the extra stresses that the addition of a turbo placed on them).

If you want to double-check: Look over the top of and thus down the back of the engine (as you stand looking into the bonnet). Clean up all the oily crap that'll be there with rags, and you should be able to finally spy the engine type number engraved on that rear face. A little mirror on a stick might help to locate it.

In answer to your other question, again from memory no; not all Fiat engines were fitted with Bosch fuel pumps.
I think there were two types that they used, Bosch and someone elses. But if yours has a Bosch pump and it is buggered, replace with another Bosch (from a breakers etc).





Edited to add: it won't be "8140.27" as that was the IVECO engine, rather than the PSA veriosn, and the IVECO engine didn't start to be fitted into some chassis until 1994.

Remember you will need to confirm if yours is the Fiat engined one or the Citroen/Pug unit can you throw a pic of yours up to help ID what it is as it's possible your could have been swapped out at some stage.

I've attached a pic of my plate on the slam panel showing the engine model listed as Motore 8144.21 good luck with finding spares as they are very hard to find parts for in the UK now loads available in Europe if you can get breakers to respond to you. I'm now going down the 2.8 conversion route now as I can't get an engine for love nor money. If you need a fuel pump I've got one

Thanks, that's really useful. I've just had a look at the plate on my slam panel and it's got 8140.27 listed. Which I'm guessing must be rare for a 1992
