Video tutorial

This video addresses the topic of replacing the timing belt on the Fiat Ducato: for the series 7 up to 2020, the recommended replacement interval is 5 years or 190,000 km. The belt is made of rubber and tends to become porous: experience suggests not to reach the mileage limit or time limit to avoid risks.

For the series 98/9/10 produced from 2021 onwards, the replacement interval is 140,000 km or 5 years.

For intensive use, it is recommended every 3 years or 60,000 km. The term 'intensive use' is not a universal definition, but it tends to refer to equipped campers that travel mixed routes: it is up to the owner to assess their usage. For the 2.2-litre engine, the YouTuber prudently recommends replacing the belt at 85,000 to 90,000 kilometres.

Remember that a timing belt failure results in total engine loss, with replacement costs reaching £14,000 to £15,000. The cost of replacing the belt may seem high, but it is negligible compared to that of a new engine. Consider it an investment.
