Hi,
I have recently got a 1989 model Fiat Ducato 2.5 TD Engine model:8144.21 LHD and it had been running well for a few months until a couple of days ago. I was parking up hill and the engine suddenly shut off and I haven't been able to start it again. Before this incident, the engine was very reliable and almost instantly starting after cranking with the starter motor.
The troubleshooting I have done so far:
Many thanks,
Lev
I have recently got a 1989 model Fiat Ducato 2.5 TD Engine model:8144.21 LHD and it had been running well for a few months until a couple of days ago. I was parking up hill and the engine suddenly shut off and I haven't been able to start it again. Before this incident, the engine was very reliable and almost instantly starting after cranking with the starter motor.
The troubleshooting I have done so far:
- I noticed the fuel filter water sensor cable was broken. I had drained the water not too long ago. Probably the previous time I filled the fuel tank. I drained the filter and also added 10 litres of diesel to the tank as it was almost quarter full. But this didn't do any change.
- I watched the timing belt while cranking and it looked like turning so I guess it is still functional (didn't open the whole belt cover though).
- I checked the fuel lines if any loose or broken parts, look all in place.
- I opened the air filter case and removed and tried to run without to see if it was the bottleneck, but no luck.
- I saw a bit of oil leak around the oil pump. I checked the oil level, it was near max level.
Many thanks,
Lev
