Technical Ducato 2.8 iTD

[malcolmhawksworth]

Hi
I am new to the world of the Ducato.
I am about to acquire a 2001 Knaus motor home with a 2.8 iTD engine can anyone tell me if this is the same as the 2.8 JTD. If not what are the differences and is it easy to get spares etc for the iTD?

Thanks for your time
Malc

I don't think the JTD was used until the facelift model in 2003. The older 2.8 was used before then, so to answer the question, they're not the same.
Don't know about spares I'm afraid, but there are usally supported by Fiat if no one else.

Same basic engine, but different fuel injection system. The iDTD has largely mechanical fuel injection whilst the JTD is common rail electronically controlled injection.

Spares should still be available for both.

JTD was used in the very last of the pre-facelift vehicles around 2002 (I had one).

And the idtd runs just loverly on chip fat I'm told.
