If you're dealing with problems related to a Fiat Scudo engine from models between 2007 to 2016, you're in the right place. As a seasoned master tech mechanic with over 15 years of hands-on experience in the automotive industry, I've encountered a fair share of engine troubles that can arise with this specific van model over time.
The Fiat Scudo, popular for its robustness and utility, can still succumb to engine troubles that can be both frustrating and costly. One typical issue often involves power loss, which may be accompanied by abnormal noises from the engine compartment or excessive smoke from the exhaust. These symptoms can stem from a variety of causes including turbocharger failures, EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve issues, or even a simple case of worn-out spark plugs.
Another frequent complaint may arise from the cooling system, where a faulty thermostat or pump leads to overheating. Ignoring such signs can lead to more severe damage such as a blown head gasket, which is a much more significant repair.
Addressing issues with the Fiat Scudo’s engine typically starts with a comprehensive diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem. This can vary from simple code reading using advanced tools, which can reveal issues with the combustion process, to manual inspections of engine components like the timing belt or fuel injectors.
Once the problem area is identified, the repair process could range from replacing the defective parts, conducting thorough cleaning procedures, to more complicated fixes like overhauling the engine. These repairs not only demand a significant amount of time but can also become quite an investment.
Given the complexity and potential cost of repairing an older Fiat Scudo engine, you might wonder whether it's more prudent to simply move on from your current van.

Fortunately, we buy any van even if they do not have a logbook, although it is advantageous if you have a full V5 Logbook, or at least the green New Keeper Slip.
It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
