General Maintenance Blog

Hi all,

I've been documenting the maintenance/general up keep i've been doing on my van, to mainly help me remember how i've done things for next time.
If any of it’s of use to you guys, even better.
I am no professional mechanic by a long way, and the van I am working on in these posts is a 2000 Reg Fiat Scudo 2.0 JTD. If you believe I can do anything different/better next time please let me know
I'll be adding new posts, when I undertake more work to the van in the future!

Re: General Maintenance Blog

I like your step by step instructions with clear pictures - they look super helpful. Is the JTD the same as the Peugeot/Citroen HDi?

I was impressed by the picture of the iron filings on the magenetic drain bolt. Genius!

I especially like the colour of your van. Never seen one in that colour.

Hi!

I think I read somewhere that the JTD is just a rebadge version of the HDI, but could be wrong.
The van is a ex-council van, so they resprayed it from white to their fleet colour, so it's 'Limited Edition'!!!
I need to get a few pictures together of the van conversions, to post on the 'Camper Conversion' page!

Re: General Maintenance Blog

Sorry I'm late to the party as usual..........

As all our Van were built in same factory [Sevel-Nord ... near Valenciennes, France]............. As Dispatch [Jumpy], Expert and Scudo and are prime badge engineering ........ just like the bigger borthers are in Sevel-Sud ... Atessa Val Di Sangro, Italy... as the previous models were all the same too .............
Our MK 1 Vans one way or another seem to be based on what they called Euro vans [MPV's] Synegie ,806, Ulysee, zeta ETC ............
And just like our vans all badge enginered even if the model wasn't sold here .........
As far as our vans are cocerned I believe all engines are the same irrespective of Vehicle designation ..........
Unless you have a 1.6 petrol fiat which gets the fiat engine apparently.........

Funny thing I'm also led to believe the 1.6 petrol FIAT engine is a take on whats in her vauxhall .........
[Unless that version comes later].......
