Technical Scudo Servicing 2.0l JTD 8v

[SoKal]

I'm trying to download a service manual at the moment - but thought I'd ask here too.

My van doesn't have aircon, but does it still have a pollen filter fitted somewhere?

Air filter is easy enough, as is oil and oil filter (I think) but what about the fuel filter?

If anyone has any pics or links to pics for me, that would help.....

I can pick up all the stuff I need for about £50, including decent oil, all new filters (decent ones), new wiper blades, engine flush, etc - can anyone tell me of any major problems I nee to look out for?

Cheers

Which service? (mileage)

Depending on the mileage you might consider the glow plugs, brake pads, clutch and the timing belt.

Although these itemns generally show themselves as individual problems the timing belt will only manifest itself when the engine is in bits in the road behind you.

It is recommended to be changed at 80,000 miles.

From listening to others on here I've noticed clutch problems around 100k and glow plugs can go dud at anytime - this usually shows up when the engiine becomes harder to start on colder mornings (meaning at least one of the glow plugs is dud).

Anyway, apart from the norrmal fluid/filter changes I'd say the timing belt is most important.

The van has only done 43k and is ex-lease, so has been serviced 6 monthly (I have the paperwork to prove) - however, it wasn't done last time and was sat on a yard for 4 months - so is basically due a 12 month service - oil, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter and (if it has one) the pollen/cab filter.

Air filter is easy, oil and oil filter should be fine.

Not 100% sure where the fuel filter lives and can't find any trace of a cabin filter - although I'm wondering if, without aircon, it even has one?

The manual(s) I've downloaded are no help that I can see (certainly no Haynes substitute!) so I'd appreciate any pointers, rather than having to take the van to a garage for such a simple job.......

Cheers

Fuel filter is on the front of the engine, right-hand end (as viewed from the front) and is an 'oval' shaped 'tub'.

Release the clip around the edge, remove/replace filter (ensure it is absolutely free of dirt/contamination - failure to do so will cause injector blockage and royally screw you). Refit lid and PRIME the filter by pressing the button under the filter housing a few times. Fuel overspill should run towards the ground out of a hanging rubber pipe (don't know if yours is actually fitted with such a pipe but it connects to a nipple on the bottom of the fuel filter housing).

That's superb! Cheers! Now - don't suppose you have an equally brilliant answer about the pollen/cabin filter, do you?

Not familiar with a pollen filter.

If one 'was' fitted it would be at the common-input air feed. On a non-aircon vehicle the only air inputs I know of are those at the base of the windscreen and there are a 'few' of them.

It sounds reasonable therefore that an aircon system might have a pollen filter as it offers a single path for an air supply.

No aircon = no pollen filter

(having said all that I wouldn't be too bothered with such a filter anyway unless I was a really, really bad sufferer from pollen. It's not like it's going to affect the engine performance!)
