Frequently Asked Questions

Does this manual cover both the Ducato 280 and 290 series?

Yes. The manual spans the full first-generation production run, addressing the original 280-series body (1981–1990) and the revised 290-series (1990–1993). All wheelbase lengths, roof heights, and body styles — panel van, chassis cab, crew cab, and Panorama passenger — are included.

Are the Peugeot J5 and Citroën C25 covered by this manual?

Because the J5 and C25 are badge twins built on the same platform as the first-generation Ducato, the majority of mechanical procedures, torque specs, and wiring diagrams apply directly to those models as well.

Are wiring diagrams included for all model years?

Full electrical coverage is provided for 1981 through 1993, including circuit diagrams for lighting, charging, ignition, instrument cluster, HVAC controls, and wiper systems, with wire color codes and ground-point references throughout.
