2 known faults with sources

Engines: 2.0 / 2.2 / 2.3 / 3.0 Multijet (Diesel)

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

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.

Electric drive module with torque spikes and a differential housing that can break (Stellantis large electric vans)Gearbox

Engine / equipment: Fiat e-Ducato, Peugeot e-Boxer, Citroën ë-Jumper, Opel Movano Electric and Toyota Proace Max Electric from 2024 (200 kW motor and 110 kWh battery), the same base as the US Ram ProMaster electric
Period mentioned: 2024–2025
Symptoms: Sudden loss of drive; electric-system warnings; knocks or noises from the drive unit under hard acceleration.
Possible cause described: In the US Stellantis recalled about 790 2024–2025 model-year Ram ProMaster electric vans (NHTSA 25V-665, campaign 98C) because the electric drive module software does not limit torque spikes and can leave them without drive: the software of several control units is updated and the module is inspected and replaced if needed. According to Mopar Insiders, Stellantis Europe opened the investigation in March 2025 after a plant alert about broken differential housings on drive modules fitted to e-Ducato vans. Since 2024 the large electric vans of Fiat, Peugeot, Citroën and Opel share the same 200 kW motor and 110 kWh battery, and the Proace Max is the same van with Toyota badges.
Check for the garage: Ask the dealer by VIN whether there is a campaign or update for the drive module; on the test drive, accelerate hard from a standstill and listen for knocks.
