rogermash Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 After nearly thirteen years with an x250 Adria Twin am changing to 18 plate Adria sun living 65. Will I notice many improvements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 The change is minor. On the COC for X290 you will still see X250 from fiat. It is a face uplift. Only the bad front strut has a better Dome. And on the cab a better water drain on the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Roger I assume you will be buying a V65 model that’s panel-van based (There is an S65 that is coachbuilt). A 2018 Ducato should have a Euro 6 motor https://www.fiatcamper.com/en/news/euro6 plus ‘beneath-the-skin’ features/changes that were introduced in 2014 when X290 Ducatos began to be marketed. https://www.nor-com.co.uk/news/post/the-2014-fiat-ducato (You’ll find that the instrument-cluster illuminates when the vehicle’s ignition is switched on, which MAY help to read the speedometer.) I note from your past postings that your X250 had the “120” motor, so - if the Sun Living 65 has a “130” motor you should notice a difference in performance - and if it has a “150” or “180” motor you will certainly notice a performance increase. One definite improvement - the leak-prone plastic-bodied fuel filter fitted to your 2007 Adria Twin was superseded in 2011 by a disposable metal canister filter, but I think a 2018 Ducato should have a (very expensive) metal-bodied unit that has a (reasonably cheap) replaceable filter cartridge.

rogermash Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 Thanks for your replies. The changeover day is next Monday when sleet is forecast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydney1 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Only real change we noticed is that the engine (2.3 150bhp) is noticeably quieter and more refined Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
