Known issues on the 2008 Ducato. Working on a turbocharged diesel van means the engine, fuel system and cooling system carry most of the load, and the 2008 Ducato adds two displacements to keep straight. This manual addresses those systems for both the 2.3L and 3.0L engines, as well as the transmission, drivetrain, brakes, suspension and steering that a loaded cargo van leans on. Procedures also apply to the body and electrical system, with wiring diagrams for the van's circuits and diagnostics for tracing faults, backed by procedures, specifications and torque values.
