#152 Re: General Discussion » Finally bought a Dispatch » 2015-09-05 13:02:26

I have just spent 8 days  touring , Loch Maree  Skye, Plockton . Glencoe with canoe and bike
Dont think it would have been as conformable without  the swivel seats they really opend up the whole van space   almost as much room as in the backmy old T25

Mine is the DW8 too   I have had enough of fly by wire in the past  A bit under powered on the steep passes  but in no hurry on holls smile  Cruise at 60 all day with good mpg

#154 Re: Maintenance » New owner 52 plate expert 1.9 annoying engine fault possible ecu? » 2015-07-19 20:16:03

Its a DW8 1.9 non turbo  Same as mine but with some electronic gubbings as added to later engines
i found this thread that might be of use , this engine was used in lots of different models so lots of info out there

Sounds like you have a 1.9 HDI  you need to get it plugged in  a read for fault codes
the ECU controls the injection timing , a heavy diesel sounds like its running a little advanced
if this is your engine it is a HDI

if not and it has a turbo  then it will be XUD engine
hope this makes sense to you

ps  I hate fly by wire car/vans that is why  I got the 1.9d a bit guttless but honest and basic
there should be only two wires to a diesel engine !

#156 Re: Maintenance » Electrical problems on my 03 Dispatch » 2015-06-18 22:44:31

check all your fuses  including the ones under  the bonnet,
with glow plugs in pugs/citroens if a plug burns out the resistance drops so the relay cuts the power to them,  temp gauge  might be just a fuse or the temp sender either way simple fix
also if you van is a hdi  dont bother with glow plugs you wont nead them in this climate  with a direct injection engine
hope this helps

just a link here   from a spanish site  showing fitting  some swivel bases  and if you scroll down  fitting 806/synergie seats  and it is as simple as  the photos suggest
you can also see the gap in the mat where the bulkhead was

#158 Re: Camper Conversions » seats » 2015-05-20 20:00:09

Mine didnt have the little bulkhead   but they are not structual  and are held in with a few spot welds and mostly seam sealer, and yes they do make the van more user friendly with a walk through between the seats
the guy this guy did the same  and had to remove bulkhead

#159 Re: General Discussion » Welcome! » 2015-05-18 21:30:06

the keys spin because they are worn , its a common fault  you can get full sets on ebay
i would check the fuses for your dash high beam light
by the way im 6.2 and have plenty of room!
Spent a week in mine up Scotland last sept

#160 Re: Camper Conversions » seats » 2015-05-17 18:09:53

I have just swapped over to swivel seats today , I got got a pair of rough ones from a 806 for 50 quid
they are a straight swap
top tips , spray the outside bolts on the bases with wd40 you can get at them through the sill  as these will be rusty
If not on level ground put in gear and chock the wheels before  you unbolt the handbrake lever
I dident!! roll
make shure you have the necessary tools especially  a  t55 torx I dident expect the large bolts in the seatbelt corners
They also ride alittle higher than the scudo ones i would use the floor mounting spacers that come with the seats and not the scudo ones  or non at all.
took me about 3hours
Get a pair they are worth doing     big_smile

#161 Re: Repair Manuals, Publications and other Downloads » Details of the 2.0 hdi / jtd (DW10 ATED) engine » 2015-04-19 13:46:16

I had on of these engines in Ulysee   and a VW tdi in my VW t25
i have learned my lesson with fly by wire engines,
should only have one wire going to a diesel  thats to the fuel solenoid on the pump tongue
I ripped all the electro babble out of the TDIthat was in my old  T25(non commonrail) and fitted a mechanical pump ,one wire only
ran sweet once set up ok   
Thats why when going for one of these vans i went for the early dw8 1.9 d with just the immobilizer before they messed about with it and fitted more electro  gubbings
somtimes i miss the power of a  electronic direct injected engine
But  rather have a engine that has less to go wrong and dont need to plug in

It is also worth googling    Jumpy cama/ scudo cama and expert  plus do the same with Evasion. 806,  ulysee
you will probably end  up a furgovw site(a great spanish site) which caters for all  types of van conversions
there  is some  really good ideas on there
