Liquid-cooled, pressurized system with a thermostat and fan.

🔧 Transmission

Manual Transmission:

Likely a 5-speed manual transmission (e.g., C510, MLGU series) as standard on most variants.

Automatic Transmission:

Optional automatic transmission may have been available on certain petrol or higher-spec diesel models, though less common in LCVs of this era.

Clutch Type:

Dry single-plate clutch (for manual transmissions)

Transmission Fluid Spec:

Specific manual transmission fluid (MTF) specification required, often GL-4 rated. Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) for automatic variants, specific DEXRON or equivalent.

Curb Weight:

Varies based on engine, body style, and equipment, generally between 1,300 kg and 1,800 kg.

🛡️ Safety Features

Euro Ncap Rating:

First generation Scudo generally received 3-star Euro NCAP rating for adult occupant protection, with variations depending on equipment and testing year. Child occupant protection and pedestrian safety ratings were typically lower.

ABS:

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) often standard or optional depending on trim level and market.

Electronic Stability Control:

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) was generally not a standard feature on this generation Scudo.

Airbags:

Driver and front passenger airbags were common, with side airbags potentially available on higher trims.

3-point seatbelts with pre-tensioners for front occupants, 3-point or lap belts for rear occupants.

💡 Technology Features

Audio System:

Basic radio/cassette or radio/CD players were common, with options for upgraded speakers or a more sophisticated head unit depending on trim.

Cruise Control:

Available as an option on many models, especially higher-spec variants, for improved long-distance driving comfort.

Central Locking:

Standard on most models, with remote central locking becoming more prevalent.

Immobilizer:

Engine immobilizer system for enhanced security was a common feature.

🔧 Maintenance

Oil Change Interval:

Typically 10,000-15,000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first, for diesel engines; petrol engines may have similar or slightly shorter intervals. Refer to manual for exact specification based on engine and oil type.

Timing Belt Replacement:

For JTD diesel engines with timing belts, replacement is crucial, typically around 60,000-80,000 miles or 5 years. Consult manual for specific engine code.

Engine Oil Specification:

Specific API or ACEA rated engine oil is required, with viscosity grades like 5W-40 or 10W-40 being common for diesel engines. Petrol engines may require 10W-40 or 5W-30. Exact specification must be confirmed from the manual.

Coolant Specification:

Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze coolant, typically a pink or orange long-life type. Check manual for specific Fiat or OEM coolant type and mix ratio.

Brake Fluid Specification:

DOT 4 brake fluid is generally specified.

Common Diesel Issues:

Glow plug failure, injector issues (especially with higher mileage JTD engines), EGR valve clogging, turbocharger wear.

Common Petrol Issues:

Ignition coil issues, exhaust manifold cracks (on some engines).

Suspension Wear:

Front suspension components such as ball joints and bushings can wear due to the vehicle's load capacity and typical usage.

Electrical Quirks:

As with many vehicles of this era, minor electrical gremlins related to switches, sensors, or wiring can occur.
