    Hi Nick, just watched your video, it is a great video and is full of great info to stop this problem. A nice tip for you, before replacing the engine cover what you can do is put a small amount of rubber grease on the socket part of engine cover and the ball part of engine cover inside engine bay. The next time you take off cover you will find it pops of so much easier. This is done on motorbike lugs on side panels and such like, better than snapping the plastic lugs on motorbike side panels using this method. Thanks for video. Vinny. 😊

  • @vintageb3
    @vintageb3 Рік тому +11

    I believe copper grease promotes corrosion on aluminium. I think Duralac would be a better choice. Duralac is a highly effective jointing compound which prevents electrolytic corrosion between dissimilar metals. YMMV

    Useful reminder, thanks. It can be awkward to remove debris from these pipes but you can get a drain unblocked which connects to a Karcher (it has three back jets to push through to the blockage and a forward jet to break up the blockage.) It has never failed. I use pot scrubber as a filter. Let’s water through but catches bigger debris.

    Thanks so much for highlighting this. I have a 2019 Ducato motorhome and after removing the black plastic cover which is quite easy I discovered rust forming on the injector nuts as you describe so thank you so much for the advanced warning. To protect against any further water ingress which appears impossible to stop dripping from various orifices above I have customer formed some strong Alcathene plastic to add more protect other than the supplied plastic cover. I have taken note not to allow this anywhere near anything hot. Anyway that sorted to stop future water I then proceeded to rectify the rusting nuts and associated injector coupling. WD40 is not permanent enough so I advise you use ACF50 designed to kill rust, protect and dispel moisture, and provide a future corrosion protective layer. Now ACF50 was designed for the aircraft industry for moisture and corrosion protection and removal. Its sold in spray cans and plastic bottles. The spray cans block up too easy so pay the little extra and buy the bottle. Its not cheap but it will solve the problem. Then check every year clean and apply a little more with a brush. www.mandp.co.uk/products/acf-50-anti-corrosion-formula-1-litre-bottle-k-547736
    To remove the plastic hood originally fixed first unclip the little pipe attached on the LHS, then pull with purpose at the rear middle, LHS and then pull sideways away from the final fixing on the RHS. Carefully remove the hood and inspect. This is just a push fit so your not going to break anything. Just watch out when removing the cover you don't knock any electrical connectors. Anyway job done and now part of my annual check. Thank you once more. Mike

    • @michaeldawson6309
      @michaeldawson6309 Рік тому

      I have also discovered why in the video the water was leaking from the black pipe. Basically a stupid design by Fiat. The hose on the RHS pushes onto a MALE connector and butts up against the pipe connector joining the two pipes. So any water running down the pipe first hits this male interface and lip and just runs out as its no way water tight. now the end you examined is a Male connector pushing into a female pipe. So water coming out of the LHS you dismantled can only go inside a rubber pipe unlike the other end that has the pipe over connecting the joining plastic piece ! Like I said a stupid design that will never stop drips. I wrapped some Self Amalgamating rubber tape over the joint to help reduce this drip but still it drips a little. Hence the extra plastic sheet (alcathene) to stop any water getting anywhere near the injectors. ;-)

    Good video Nick, I had the same problem with centre drain blocked. You can access the water exit point under the wheel arch just up behind the liner.

    Thanks for sharing this Nick, we have a new Ducato automatic and it's not fitted with an engine cover, the engine layout is different to yo ! The scuttle is not making a good seal with the windscreen and water collects behind. We were aware of this problem with Fiat vans and it isn't a surprise. We have made a simple cover of damp proof membrane and we used neodymium magnets stuck on to the DPM with gorilla tape, it covers the air intake and scuttle and stops the weather and leaves getting in when the van is parked, it's also useful with snow and ice. The cover is very easy to put on and remove, it takes seconds. Another surprise with the new engine: no dipstick !!

    Hi Nick, Thanks for your very informative video. I have a 2021 Pilote with a Ducato as well and I have the exact same problem. The only way I could unblock it was to fill it with water and squeeze the pipe as you did very low down and hey-presto water gushed out. I've ran a few gallons through it and all is now ok. I've sealed up that useless pipe joint as well and make up some mesh covers for the inlets.

    Thanks for the upload on this potentially serious problem. I to have a 21 plate Ducato based motorhome and have been checking periodically, there seems to be quite a bit of water sitting on the plastic cover and inside the heater intake, the three drain holes must be checked frequently to make sure they are free from debris, but on my van the windscreen seal is doing a poor job as the water can be felt virtually all the way along up in under the scuttle. I'm going to attempt to put a silicon bead along the rubber top to see if this helps? Thank you for showing how to remove the engine cover as this is difficult to remove.

    Thanks for the video. I’ve got a 2022 Ducato and had all of the covers and pipes off for cleaning today. There was a lot of debris in the drain channels and tubes and some corrosion on the injectors already. I’ve put a bead of clear silicone between the scuttle panel and windscreen as this looked like a poor fit. The top of the engine under the plastic cover is a perfect trap for water. I’ve removed any surface rust and treated it temporarily with some WD-40 for now but I think AC-50 is a much better option over winter. I think the camper ideally needs to be under some shelter next winter. Not sure if an engine cover would help long term or just trap moisture in.

    • @nickharper6436
      @nickharper6436  7 місяців тому

  • @neilwr7442

    Great video Nick.
    Our 2022 ducato based Twin has same drains. Whilst they run free I was amazed that the Central drain joint still leaks when a large volume of water is flushed down. Not sure if that would actually occur in real life but electrical tape wrapped around jount appears to have sealed it. I've had a passing thought that maybe the fact it leaks if blocked it's Fiats idea of a blockage warning 🙈.
    As regards the injectors on the new 2.2 multijet I couldn't even see them. Instead of the plastic shield there's large ducting and equipment sat over the top of the cylinder head. That's one way to stop owners checking for rust😅

    I have a 2008 Fiat Ducato Swift Moho, I have just had all four injectors replaced, which took Precision Engines in Elgin 16 hrs to do and cost £2300. 3 injectors were seized in, one injector retaining bolt was seized and snapped in the head needing the cam cover removing to extract. 4 brand new Bosch injectors later and she is fine. All water damage. The best thing to do is have a garage every couple of years remove the injectors and grease. This on an engine without rust is about an hours labour. Stitch in time. We travel all over Europe and we wanted this problem looking at here not abroad. So that £2300 was pre-emptive as the engine ran fine. Of course if you are not keeping the vehicle then why bother, except it’s the right thing to do.

    I would be more worried at the water which seems to be going down the intake, I seen a few vans with low intakes and they just pushed the water into the intake system, we had one just lock the engine after going through water, looks like moving it higher is not much better. This problem is on many cars and vans, my Renault drips water onto the coil pack, Alan Howatt had the same with a Ford Ka, it's not going to stop as they push the windscreen further forward over the engine, and use crappy plastics.

Thankfully like yours wasn’t much sign of rust but gave it a good spraying of ACF50 which is all I had to hand other than WD40, figured the ACF50 would be the better option but quite like your idea of using copper spray.

Just like you said, it had a small exit (looked kind of like an elephant's nose) which he widened by squeezing on the end, then hit the thing on the ground, and debris just kept coming out lol. Why on earth they have a large intake and small exit I don't know. It's almost like they deliberately designed the thing to be collecting debris, causing water overflow and engine problems. Hmm.

      Potentially it does if you don’t do regular checks Tony but it’s fairly easy to remove and does offer some protection. It’s just if your unaware of this problem and never look underneath! I personally think if you do regular checks and spray WD40 or similar then to leave it on would be better.

      @Nick Harper Thanks for your thoughts. I've just been out and modified the centre drain. The connector that joins the two pieces of pipe I removed and cleaned. Then I applied sealant to the joint off the top hose and connector and cable tied it too. The lower pipe can still be pulled off. It appeared that male/female interface is the wrong way on the top hose allowing water to run out. Thanks for your video.

      @@tonysummers2334 What a silly design FIAT have where the rubber pipe from the top pushes onto plastic connector as a Female Pipe onto a Male connector a problem made in design as water will always leak unless the rubber pipe fitted inside a connector like it does on the opposite site leading to the floor :-( Doohhh FIAT

    make a net and cover the holes so it doesent go in to the pipes much easier to clean

      Thanks for the comments and yes a good idea which I’ve now done 👍

    Would you not be better replacing the pipe so the pipe join is lower down so that if it does leak it will go straight to ground instead of over major components

    • @nickharper6436
      @nickharper6436  2 місяці тому +1

      Yes that’s a possible option. It does drain lower down by the wheel arch but it leaks where it joins over the engine. Sealing that would serve the same purpose I guess. Thanks for watching and your comments.

    just replace the tube with a straight tube without connectors 😅

      That’s certainly a possibility to do that. Thanks for the comments and watching the video.

      That is a problem, maybe try sealing where the scuttle sits against the glass. I’ve heard that can be a problem!

    Another problem with the drain is the drain on the passenger side empties straight onto the gear box linkage below.if your gear change is stiff and 'clunking' a large dollop of grease over the linkage solves the problem and protects linkage.ive got the plastic cover over the engine on my 2008 citroen relay but this is not guaranteed to protect the injectors.ive just had injectors replaced on my van and the only reason they came out easily with no problems was because i had an oil leak and oil had settled into the well where the injectors sit.another van in the garage at the same time was not so lucky,all four injectors were" welded" into block with rust.head off and very expensive repair!.

    • @nickharper6436

      I’ll have a look at the linkage but mines automatic so will probably be a different set up. Lucky you had the oil leak that protected the injectors. Thanks for the comments
