I’ve just cross referenced that on the tinterweb, strangely it doesn’t mention the 2.8 but it does look identicalCommercial vehicles get rather more difficult to source spares for than cars, due to the number of variations. Without details of your vehicle, we can only guess, but from the pics, this one looks similar.
HELLA Glow Plug Relay 5 PIN / Fiat Ducato Motorhome 1994 to 2002 2.5 Diesel | eBay
One Glow Plug Relay for Fiat Ducato 2.5 Diesel engines. Does not fit petrols or Diesel 1.9 or 2.8 Diesel engines. All versions of 2.5 Diesel from 1994 to 2002.www.ebay.co.uk
Don't forget, you can look at Peugeot and Citroen too.
I would like to examine that statement in detail.Just had auto electrician round he says is definitely the relay and engine won't start without it as it sends power to other bits
I have replaced flame starter a n solenoid,now have power going into starter relay but nothing coning out
Sorry my bad not relay ok no power coming from control unit to relay or flame starterDo you now mean to say the auto electrician states problem with starter motor relay?
If yes please post photo of starter motor relay - so we can try and work out what is going on .
There is a huge amount of experience accross a number of members trying to help you.
All is goodAs the engine in question has been confirmed as a 2.8idTD, it will have a flame starter.devce, which embodies a special glowplug.
The same basic system is used on the succeding 2.8jtd, but which has an ECU and sensor to provide temperature sensing, and appropriate timing function. The 2.8idTD had only a simple ECU for the EGR option control.
Something is needed to provide the control function for the flame start device on the 2.8idTD. A standard glowplug control may help, but two stages are required for correct operation, as the glowplug needs to be hot before fuel is injected into the inlet manifold.
I also would not expect the flame start device to be initiated in a UK summer. I am wondering whether, that as the idTD will probably have lower injection pressures the jtd, fuel droplets will be larger. This would not improve cold starting performance. Perhaps @bugsymike has some views on this as he is/was a 2.8 owner?
Hi,Sorry my bad not relay ok no power coming from control unit to relay or flame starter
Hi,
I wonder if you would be kind enough to start again from the beginning with photos explaining what part you have been told is causing the no start condition.
Thanks
Is that the corresponding plug in the background?
It is yesIs that the corresponding plug in the background?
Right…I’ve been to farm services and the hella five pin is not compatible with the the 2.8, nor is the febi/bilstien five pin relay, which is for the 1.9…there isn’t one tractor with the 2.8 5pin relay, nor is there one with the 7pin as fitted to Fiat/PSA, they’re not sure as to Iveco applications as engine fitment looks like a smorgasbord of if and wehn the tractor adopted the engines (on plant as well, eg dumpers n diggers) and called them Iveco or gave them their own ref number.I’ve just cross referenced that on the tinterweb, strangely it doesn’t mention the 2.8 but it does look identical
Thank you so much for trying I really appreciate itRight…I’ve been to farm services and the hella five pin is not compatible with the the 2.8, nor is the febi/bilstien five pin relay, which is for the 1.9…there isn’t one tractor with the 2.8 5pin relay, nor is there one with the 7pin as fitted to Fiat/PSA, they’re not sure as to Iveco applications as engine fitment looks like a smorgasbord of if and wehn the tractor adopted the engines (on plant as well, eg dumpers n diggers) and called them Iveco or gave them their own ref number.
It really does look like this was the only application for this relay, the only cross reference 598139 is on a CZ site, RinoParts, which states ‘not available’.
So, it’s either a rewire job or a used part, sorry
Same here,If old part is scrap and nothing available, maybe your auto electrician can cut it open to find what parts do what and modify another relay to do what you need to get engine started. It is what I would do as beats walking
Do let us know what you findThank you so much for trying I really appreciate it
