Hello All,
This might well have been covered before, but I'm new to this site, so please be kind, I'm sure you will be.
Right, let's start with the van, tis a 1997 Swift Sundance on a Fiat Ducato base, being 1997 I'm sure tis a MK2 base, with a 2.5 diesel engine.
I have asked Mr Google for details of oil and fuel filter changes and not much is forthcoming. There is a youtube type video for an oil change on a MK3 base, but I'm not sure if it's the same as the MK2.
Haynes don't do a manual for the Ducato as they don't seem to do commerctial vehicles.
So, what I could do with is a bit of advice as to the location of said filters, I think the oil one is in the same place as the MK3 model, it looks straight forward to change, unless, you tell me otherwise.
The fuel filter is another "kettle of fish" Where is it? is it easy to get to, and is it done in the same way as the oil one? When I was at work, I know the lads that worked on the lorries, when they changed fuel filters, they used to fill them with fuel before fitting to save having to "bleed" the system. Is this the same on the van, or does it "self bleed"?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards,
John.
