Before everyone scolds me for laziness, I really did a search everywhere but I believe, not sure, I have a 2.8idTD and all references were to 2001 JTD's, etc.
My Motorhome was built on a 2000 FIAT Ducato chassis that I believe is run about by a 2.8idTD engine. I am a bit confused but the Motorhome was a 2001 model but the dealer pulled a background sheet for me once and it says the chassis delivery was in YR 2000. So I am assuming idTD. Would anything under the bonnet show me definitively that it is truly idTD? I.E. What does the JTD set-up differ from the idTD, anything obvious that I could look for?
In any case, the good little boy that could, now over 350,000Km, has an illness. When I start him up he'll run for a random period then peter out like he just ran out of fuel. Immediately re-starting may be to no avail but if I wait:30 or so seconds it ticks over with ease, runs for a while, and then runs out of fuel again.
I know this is a tired subject but any recommendations on this engine basis, if it is an idTD, as to what may be the issue? If the basis is truly the idTD then there seems to be more simplicity to my fuel system. What could be causing the intermittent but inevitable fuel loss?
Thanks, Guy's, I know I can count on you, You have been invaluable for over 15 years. I know I'll get a good recommendation here before I go poking about under the bonnet.
