lennyhb Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I take it you mean 2.3 , 5 years is the recommended, I think mileage is 60k, Nick (euroserve) reckons they OK for 175k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennyhb Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 How lucky do you feel? (lol) My was only just over a month from leaving Fiat to being converted and me picking up in 2008 so I've left it for now. Yours coming up for 7 years from leaving Fiat I think I would change it bearing in mind the cost of a new engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Nick Fisher (euroserv) advised on timing-belt changing on older X250 models in this earlier thread http://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/Motorhomes/Motorhome-Matters/Cambelt-change-Fiat-2-3-2007/26346/ I note that the Fiat Owner Handbook for current-model Ducatos (Euro 5 2.3litre motors) advises a mileage limit of 120,000 miles, when a timing-belt change must be made. As far as the belt-change time-interval is concerned, the Handbook says "Regardless of mileage, the timing belt must be replaced every four years in case of particularly demanding use (cold climate, city traffic, long idling) or at least every five years." A 'condition check' should be carried out at 60,000 miles or 48 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
