Dunlop Air Suspension, fitting made easy guide

Member Techno100 has produced the following information about self fitting Dunlop Air Suspension:

For this job you will need:

• Some additional ground clearance (Milenco Quattros ideal)
• A long handled torque wrench
• Hammerite Waxoyl to coat all metal parts during assembly
• A tape measure for LSV (load sensing valve)
• 1/2" drive sockets 13,17,22mm
• Hammer, cold chisel, sidecutters, stanley knife, battery drill, 8mm HSS bit

Begin with the rod measurement at the LSV as this may alter with the suspension upgrade and need to be adjusted later, BEFORE driving.

DRINKING WATER TANKS & CONTAINERS

Introduction

This article advises on cleaning and disinfection of drinking and grey (waste) water vessels housed within Motorhome’s and containers commonly used in caravanning and camping.

Thank you to 'freespirit' from the 'FiatForum' for these detailed instructions on the DIY replacement of the fuel filter on a 2.8 JTD Ducato engine. Our usual disclaimers apply.

HOW TO CHANGE THE FUEL FILTER on a 2.8JTD

1. First make sure the ignition is turned off

2. Remove the air filter housing top.

3. Remove the air filter element itself from the housing - this can be a tight squeeze past the rear of the engine bay opening.

Sincere thanks to 'freespirit' from the 'FiatForum' for this superbly detailed guide on the DIY replacement of the cam belt on a 2.8 JTD Ducato engine. Usual disclaimers apply but if you feel confident enough to carry out the work then you will certainly find this article of huge interest.

Timing Belt Replacement Ducato 2.8 JTD 2003

Here is my step by step guide & what I encounted in changing the timing belt on a 2003 Ducato 2.8 JTD fitted with A/C.

As this is a JTD Common Rail Electronic Injection there is no injection pump timing to set (thank heaven). With the 2.8TD it would necessitate the upper timing cover & associated parts removal to enable enough room for timing of the Injection pump.

1. Disconnect the battery, remove front engine cover by undoing the 4 retaining clips.

2. Remove engine top cover , which necessitates the removal of part of the engine lift bracket retaining the 4 electrical cables for the injectors at the bottom right corner as the top cover has a projection under the wiring so cannot be removed until the part of the bracket is moved out of the way. I also removed the bracket bolted to the intake behind the cover as it has some wiring harness retaining clips & two studs with nothing attached to either which hinders easy removal otherwise.
