Further to my last update. Found the leak to be at the corners of the screen, many years of sun and cold had obviously affected the sealant and it was leaking badly from both corners.
Have siliconed round the screen and dried the rubber mat thoroughly over a few weeks.
Fitted it again yesterday, what a miserable and time consuming job.
Hoping this has now fixed it completely. Certainly do not want to revisit that problem. ??

Hi, i've just found the reason of my airbag light flashing – i've got the leak too, drain hoses are ok so i reckon it's gonna be the front windshield… How is your job holding up? Could you give me any hints or photos how did you do it? Cheers!

I've seen your front conversion and saved it for later, now I'd like to have the middle. i.e. 2nd row quick release type single seats from Ulysse eetc. – my current set (removed on the picture) bolts down to the floor – you can see the holes on the photo. Only rear bench has the quick release mechanism.

I managed to run my van dry, unaware of my reserve lamp failiure. It took 85 liters to fill it up until the first fuel pump overflow valve cutoff.

In my 1996 Scudo Combinato 1.9TD van only the rear, 3rd row bench has a quick release mounting points, while the middle row is bolted down (or screwed up). It consists of one tilted and one double seat. None of them fold flat, making it impossible to do a simple bed conversion for camping use. Is it possible to fit seat rails from ulysses etc. to use with detachable, foldable single seats?

Thanks guys, still looking for bigger wheels. On these smallies and I'm getting 5.2 l/100 km's (fake kilometers).

Your speedo is exagerrating by 13% and I consider that a lot, than's for checking that mate, I'll calm down my suspicions of having the wrong gearbox.

Your maths are WAY OFF the mark

My math is spot on. First number (195) is tyre width, while the second is sidewall height given as percentage of the first value. Sidewall height does not translate proportionally to function of circumference, you must add rim diameter to the equation.

TYRE 1:

195/60r14
width: 195 mm
sidewall height = 0,6 × 195=117 mm
rim diameter: 14" = 14 × 2,54 = 355,6 mm
tyre diameter = 355,6 mm + 2 × 117 mm = 589,6 mm
tyre 1 circumference = diameter * pi = 589,6 × 3,14 = 1851,344 mm

TYRE 2

195/75R14
width= 195 mm
sidewall height = 0.75 × 195= 146.25 mm
14" rim diameter = 355,6 mm
tyre diamenter = 355,6 + 2 × 146,25 mm = 648.1 mm
tyre 2 circumference = diameter * pi = 589,6 × 3,14 = 2035.014 mm

2035.014/1851,344 × 100 = 1,099 – the bigger tyre is 10% bigger than the smaller one.
…or
1851,344/2035.014 × 100 = 0,91 – the smaller is 9% smaller than the big one.


Cheers!

20% too small

Mine are actually 195/60r14s, but still that's 9% less circumference than stock 195/75r14. Anyway, should the odometer be accurate by then, the speedo might be casualy exaggerating. Could you check the difference between gps and speedo readings?

Hi everyone,

As a new proud Scudo owner, I happily joined this community hoping to get some advice and ensure the best maintenance the car can get. The car is rust-free, despite being a 1996. Besides some normal maintenance stuff, I have a weird problem with speedo readings. When it reads 100 kph, my actual GPS speed is 13% less, 83 kph glasses . The car runs smallish 195/65r14 tires, but these are only 5% smaller than stock. Has anyone else encountered this problem? What were your solutions or adjustments?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Piotr

Hi, sorry for digging old threads, but I have a somewhat related question: I bought a 1996 Scudo 1.9 TD in mint condition. It runs perfectly, but the speedo is WAY off, 100 kph on gps equals 125 kph on the speedo. It is running a bit too small tires, 195/65r14, but that accounts for only 5% difference in travelled distance — where is the remaining 20%? Is it possible that I have a wrong gearbox from 1.9 naturally aspirated?
