That oval drain connector above the oil filler is impossible to seal, but it needs to be.

Thank you Pappy for bringing this issue to my attention, I have recently bought a 2007 Ducato Swift Motorhome and it has the water build up issue in injector valley, I now cover engine with plastic sheeting when parked up and have also reseal wind screen bottom seal and used silicon on gutter under bonnet. Sorry to hear of your costly repair bill, hopefully this issue can be resolved on later models in the future. Thank you again from New Zealand.

Really thanks for that very informative video Pappy. I just checked my 2021 and took off the cover. 2 issues found. Blocked middle water outlet pipe from scuttle down to drivers side wheel hub exit. Got that sorted but then noticed lots of water getting in behind scuttle and windscreen and also wiper spindle. Cleaned and removed the rust and soaked injector area and all the electrical connections with ACF50. Did a temp sealing of the scuttle with a heavy layer of Vaseline and that stopped anymore ingress. Will remove it and do a proper sealing later. Fiat are a disgrace to keep producing Ducato's with this known issue as it can end up costing people thousands in hefty repair bills. Once again thanks from Ireland 👍

Did you eventually seal more permanently, and how? What did you do about the windshield wiper arm sockets?
@TheVideoviwer7 күн бұрын
@@themartinandersson I didn't seal anymore. I bought a windscreen cover on Amazon that covers the entire bonnet as well and I put this on when parked up. I never had any more water issues or any blockages from leaves and other debris getting in to the drains. Just make sure to get one that covers down over the top of the bonnet and that does the trick.
@themartinandersson6 күн бұрын
@@TheVideoviwer Do you have a link for the one you bought? Doesn't water penetrate behind the cover, I mean it can not possibly be 100% sealed against the car, right?
@andrewcornford23068 ай бұрын
Great video and explanation. However this also can happen to Vauxhall Vivaro and Ford Transit even with a cover over the injector / glow plugs. The biggest area of weakness in all these vans is water coming through the scuttle plate at the bottom of the windscreen. Take it off clean out the drains, and remove any rust from under the scuttle plate and reseal with a good quality sealant. Then, if you can get to the injector heads and glow plugs spray them with WD 40 for water dispersant.

Thanks for this information, invaluable
@andrewcornford23068 ай бұрын
Vauxhall Vivaro has the same problem because the scuttle strip leaks, this can be a quick fix but if you have bought a secondhand one the damage is already done. This happens even with the cover over the injectors and glow plugs.

Do you still recommend this method of protection after 10months? It appears mine are fine but just thinking of preventative steps
@TimmysFavs2 ай бұрын
@@ianross04I no longer own that particular motorhome but if I did, having invested in a 400 ml can of copper slip grease I would continue to spray around the base of the injectors at least once a year. If the injectors are corroded you will have problems potentially trying to remove them in the event of a problem.

mine never had a cover and my rain water drainage pipe got blocked and the head was under water, i have problem starting it on and off and when it gets wet my electrics go bonkers and wont start at all, i have to get something to soak up the water before i can start it and stop my electrics going crazy, a couple injectors are getting rusty. i'm gonna try and get them out clean and do what ever i can with limited tools and numpty thinking and hope its more reliable at starting

Another problem with scuttle drains is the drain on the passenger side,it drains straight onto the gear box linkage.If your gear change is becoming stiff and "clunking" a large dollop of grease solves the problem snd protects the linkage.
