When buying a motor home based on Fiat Ducato Maxi, Bj 2019, I was forced to use a manual air conditioning system (on the engine). This so-called air conditioning system is nothing more than a cold compressor operated by the running engine. I don’t need the cooling. I had 30 years of my old Hymermobil based on Peugeot J5, Bj 1989. I didn’t sell this spare parts mainly because of the fear. axi, Bj 2019 I will drive until I can’t anymore. As I’m probably older than 30 years, but hopefully many more years. My idea is to remove the drive belt from the engine to the cold compressor and thus put the air conditioning out of function. I know that almost everything that is not used for a long time is broken by the long non-use. Note: Usually a camper stands around most of the time and is only possible on a few days of the year. With me (without Corona!) about 10,000 km a year. I am aware that a Fiat Ducato with defective “air conditioning” is not available for sale or only at a lower price. So I have to compare the costs of the necessary maintenance and “as well as the related repair costs with the “repair costs” after many years of absolute standstill. If someone has experience of the costs of the necessary maintenance and “as well as the resulting costs of repair”. I am aware that such costs are either an individual case or an average value for experience. What would be the cost of a “reinstatement” (reinitiation) after 15 years (after today’s prices)? I would like to thank you for hints, tips and ideas.

Moin, the radio went/goes and all of a sudden the boxes failed. help!?

Servus, my Fiat Ducato 250 box van with 160 Multijet engine has a problem with the windscreen wiper. No matter what weather, when I turn on the windscreen wiper, it sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. Often it is that when it runs from the very beginning, it suddenly fails. I then turned around at the control lever and so on, but it didn’t work. That’s why I let the lever on level three until sometime after a few minutes of the windscreen wiper starts to wipe. To say in summary that if the wiper works, I can choose all the steps. The engine also runs when it runs but I really don’t know what it is that the wiper often doesn’t work. Had jmd this problem and can tell me if it’s on the engine or relay, or k.a what?

Moin, I would like to buy a used Ducato box or bus, 116 – 131 HP What should you pay special attention to,?What is the consumption?What are your experiences? Due to my budget, the Bj. probably will lie between 2013 -2016. In advance already many thanks. May also be a boxer or jumper.

Hello, we bought a Duc 280 as a camper a few weeks ago. Did everything without any problems. Only a brake lamp at the rear right was defect, so back tail light off and new bulb in, on the left side also immediately changed the bulb, lights again on and then when braking and blinking left flashed then the indicator lamp for fog lamp in the blinker clock and indicator in the rear flashing out and brake light flashed. Right side everything normal. So lamp at the back off, and the problem was strangely fixed. Then did a tour, on the way back blower failed. But don’t find the connection where I could measure what is broken there. And since a few days the control light for the passing light does not work anymore, however, all the headlights are on when I turn on, the instrument lighting no longer works as well. Light bulbs in the speedometer unit are all ok. What could that be again? Does he have some kind of electrical problem?
