General Fiat Ident

[Jed1]

Hi, Newbie, grateful for any help. Vehicle described in UK V5c reg document as Citroen Relay 30, 100 hp, SWB. I believe this is really a Fiat Ducato. I'd be glad to have the Fiat identification details. T I A, J

Welcome to the forum. Got a VIN?

 

[Jed1]

T F R, Vin is:- VF7YAAMFA11431396

Not coming up with any results on FIAT's ePer, which suggests it's not a FIAT VIN. What model year is it?

 

[Jed1]

2008 (58 plate)

 

[Eklipze3k]

That's fine, the version of ePer I'm using covers all VIN's up to 2012, so I think it's safe to say yours is a Citroen. What made you think it was a Ducato?

Advice from various searches on 'net. I'm sure they were genuine. The general thought was that a number of badges ( Peugeot, Citroen, Fiat, etc) were all manufactured in the Fiat factory. I think that Chrysler might have been top of the pile. J

Hi, and welcome,

AFAIK you're half-right,


PSA the company that "own" Citroen / Peugeot,


build the PSA / FIAT vans at a facility in France ( Sevel )


this arrangement has been going on for @ 30 years,

my 1988 Ducato,
Is the same as a Talbot express,
Citroen J5

Steady on gents. I don't want to get side-tracked into a leg pulling contest. I've a serious problem with the can-bus system and I'm v keen to identify the basics of the vehicle before I start asking for help with details. Do you think there might be someone in a Citroen forum with similar software?

 

[Eklipze3k]

What's the issue? Perhaps someone on here has seen the same thing and can offer advice.

When I indicate Right, both front indicator lights flash, and just the R rear indicator light. When I indicate L, both front indicator lights flash and just the L rear indicator. ???

I believe "Lexia" is the Pug code reading kit,

ask in the Ulysee section.. they are a PSA joint venture too,


from my dealings with canbus 307's:yuck: there is a box of tricks that works the flashers.. try and get that checked also,
