Just googled ducato 160 multijet timing chain,Here is the result,But on choosing my 160 or 3 litre,i was informed by the dealer Tyne valley motorhomes that the 3 litre has a timing chain and not the cam belt,Hope this post helps,kind regards Satis
The special Fiat engine is particularly worthy of note: a 2.3 Multijet 16 valve Euro 4 engine offering 120 bhp of power and 320 Nm of torque. The unit offers fuel consumption 23 percent lower than the previous generation of Ducato vehicles, servicing at 45,000 km intervals and a particulate filter available as an option.
The top-of-the-range power unit, the 160 Multijet Power (157 bhp and 400 Nm), is remarkable for offering great driving satisfaction, due to its extraordinary attributes of flexibility, perennially prompt response to power demands and outstandingly low noise levels.
The innovative mechanical and engineering features on this engine have made it possible to increase the oil change interval to every 45,000 km or 24 months, to offer a ‘for life’ timing chain – and to offer an exclusive 6-speed robotised gearbox known as the Comfort-Matic - plus a particulate filter as an option.
Thanks for info. I did not realise that the oil changes could be every 24 months.
My van is 2 years old it has done 10,000 miles and is booked in for it's fourth services.This is on the recommendation of a dealer that it should be serviced on a regular basis.
No doubt you can guess what my next query with the dealer will be about.
Glad the information was of help to you,Yes having a timing chain rather than the cam belt sure helps with the future sevice charges,(There is nothing worse than hearing,You need a new cam belt fitted mate)Then the big charge for supply & fitting Kind regards Satis
