Technical 2017 Fiat Ducato Motorhome wiring loom

[Kon Tiki]

I have the above van, 2017 2.3ltr 6 speed auto. 7 days into ownership there was a fire in the engine bay, possibly caused by the DPF breaking down. Anyway the wiring loom needs to be replaced. My question is, does the engine need to come out to fit the new looms ( 2 of them apparently)?

Hi

Sorry to hear about your fire - eek !

Only Fiat could tell you for sure, but I think it rather unlikely that removing the engine would be necessary. There is a small clearance all round the engine, and looms are flexible things so it should be possible to work round it. It may be the case that smaller items need to be removed to get access.

I believe there are multi-way connector pairs between the engine bay looms and the rest of the vehicle, so you don't have to thread anything through the bulkhead.

No doubt Fiat have a standard table of repair times for every item, which will be used by the insurance industry.

Thanks. That’s really helpful. Hoping to finally get it back this week after 7 weeks. Luckily the fire extinguished itself when the engine stopped but I had visions of the whole van going up! Glad I found this forum.
