Crankshaft sensor, EGR, wiring and front suspension on the Ducato (from 2006)

Engine / equipment

Fiat Ducato 2.2 and 2.3 Multijet (also Peugeot Boxer and Citroën Relay/Jumper)

Period mentioned

2006 onwards

Symptoms

The engine cuts out when warm and will not restart until it cools (P0335); hesitation and rough idle from the EGR; code P0482 from corroded wiring; increasingly heavy steering, squeaking strut mounts; brake or reversing lights that fail; a new clutch that slips.

Possible cause described

According to the UK trade magazine CAT: the crankshaft sensor fails at around 80,000 km; the EGR is better replaced than cleaned; the wiring loom corrodes (2.3); windscreen water gets into the gearbox through a badly routed drain pipe; gearbox oil leaks make the clutch slip; the top strut mounts and steering rack suffer from heavy use.

Check for the garage

Read codes (P0335, P0482); check the windscreen drains and gearbox oil; fix leaks before replacing the clutch; check strut mounts and light wiring.
