Are fiat Ducato exhausts standard or are they specific to the Motorhome they are fitted to. Today my exhaust came adrift on my Swift gazelle which is a 2000 2.8 ducato. where do I start looking for a new replacement. Any advice would be very welcome.
The coachbuilt motorhome is built on a chassis with an original Fiat engine installed so it should be a standard exhaust that fits the Ducato model. The accommodation bit is not relevant, it's the engine exhaust manifold and chassis locations where the exhaust pipe and silencer fit that's important but any replacement exhaust centre such as Kwik-fit should be able to tell you anyway.
Is your van on a standard chassis with a standard exhaust? if so K&G auto factors in Keighley have one in stock 01535 606600, only know this cos it wouldn't fit my van full one piece system about £90 i think
If your on an Alco chassis you will have to have one made as it's in five parts, i got mine made in stainless from Exhaustafix in Darlington 01325 362271, they can accommodate most motorhomes except tag axles. i cant reccommened these guys enough, sorted me out without the oo's ahh's they advertise if they can't buy it they will make it, as my boxes were already in stainless & in good nick they made all the connecting pipes in stainless to suit, as these were made from the cheapest stuff possible cost me £225 only took a morning to make too
Many thanks to all who helped me, I got fixed up close to home in Knaresborough, it was simply a standard exhaust, although I do have an Alco chassis, Swift must simply use the standard one rather than complicate matters by having fabricated ones. Cost me £180 including VAT and fitted but needed it done quick so I'm reasonably happy.
You're welcome Tone but I said in my first post that I thought it could possibly be a standard exhaust. At least it's done now anyway but that seems a pretty good price you paid for a complete exhaust system actually.

Topic: Ducato Exhaust
The van is now very much quieter. I now notice the road noise rather than the exhaust which was noticable even before the down pipe broke
but that seems a pretty good price you paid for a complete exhaust system actually.
