Seasonal check-up
Our experts recommend
that you perform the following essential checks before starting your journeys if your motorhome has been laid up for a long period.
Check the engine oil and brake fluid.
Remember that the service coupon must be carried out every 30,000 miles.
If you do not do many miles a year, we recommend that you change the oil every two years.
To keep your warranty valid, you do not need to have your motorhome serviced at the end of its first year of life, unless you have already completed the mileage specified for a service.
Use only the recommended engine oil, Selenia WR, or an equivalent SAE 5W-30 oil that conforms to ACEA C2 standard.
Check tyre pressure.
Our expert recommends a pressure of 5.0 bar in the front tyres and 5.5 bar in the rear tyres of a Ducato with 15” wheels, or 5.5 front and rear on a Ducato Maxi (with 16” wheels).
Do not over-inflate your tyres. You may achieve a tiny improvement in fuel economy but you risk losing stability and cause rapid tyre wear.
Reconnect the battery.
Fiat Professional suggests to disconnect the battery when your motorhome is parked for a long period. If you have disconnected the battery over the winter, simply reconnect it. The only other thing you will have to do is reset the clock (and recharge the battery if necessary).
Check your chassis number.
Check whether your chassis has received the latest recommended upgrades from Fiat Professional.
If you have selected automatic checks in the Premium Area, you will receive a mail whenever an upgrade becomes available. Alternatively, you can check by going to http://www.fiatcamper.com/check.php (and entering the last 7 digits of your chassis number).
Remember Fiat Camper Assistance.
Finally, remember that an operator is always at your service at 00800 34281111 (or alternatively + 39 02 44412160) in your language from all European countries.
