Pilote A Class Engine Access

[AllyMoHo]

Morning All.
This may be a silly question, but.... Pilote A class MoHo engine access is tight to say the least but as there is an extended dash from the ducato dash to the front window, if this is removed does it allow access to the engine compartment. I’ve never tried, just thought that someone might know before I do some mischief!!!
Cheers

I had a 2008 Explorateur A class The extended dash does NOT allow access to the engine compartment it is merely a decorative cover.

We have an A class Pilote with a 3l Fiat in it and I find most of the things you need to get at are accessible.
This comes in handy for filling the washer bottle

Rb62, that looks very handy. Where did you get it from??

Not a clue,one of those things you see and say 'that'll come in handy'! something like this,then a piece of hose pushed up the spout

Underneath the dash on ours there is a board that is screwed up from below (in the engine compartment) so no access without dismantling.

If yours is the same as ours, the cap is lower than the tube, so is difficult to fill, but the whole pipe just unclips and can be lifted up for filling.

I think the best way for engine access is bonnet off, front end completely out. Easily enough done when you take a look

No,just a rigid bottle and neck/filler that's right at the back and higher than the top of the opening
