The Fiat F2 – Diesel is a 2,287 cc, inline‑four turbo‑diesel engine produced by FPT Industrial between 2015 and 2023. It features common rail direct injection, a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT), and dual overhead camshafts (DOHC). In standard form, it delivered 103 kW (140 PS), with higher-output versions reaching 125 kW (170 PS) and torque figures between 350–400 Nm.
Fitted to models such as the Ducato, Scudo, and Ulysse, the F2 – Diesel was engineered for commercial and passenger van applications requiring robust low-end torque and fuel efficiency. Emissions compliance was achieved through a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) with AdBlue, allowing Euro 6 compliance across its production run.
One documented concern is EGR cooler internal leakage, which can lead to coolant contamination and white exhaust smoke. This issue, referenced in FPT Service Bulletin FT‑SB‑08‑2020, is often linked to thermal cycling fatigue in the cooler core. Production from 2021 included a revised EGR cooler assembly to address this.
All production years 2015–2023 meet Euro 6 standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/5678).
The Fiat F2 – Diesel is a 2,287 cc inline‑four turbo‑diesel engineered for light commercial and MPV applications (2015-2023). It combines high-pressure common‑rail injection with a single variable‑geometry turbocharger to deliver strong pulling power and efficient highway cruising. Designed to meet Euro 6 standards, it balances payload capability with regulatory compliance.

The VGT turbo provides ample low-RPM torque for heavy loads but demands strict 20,000 km oil change intervals using Fiat 9.55535-DS1 specification to protect turbo bearings and the DPF system. The Bosch CP4 fuel pump is sensitive to fuel contamination; only ultra-low-sulfur diesel (EN 590) should be used to prevent premature failure. EGR coolers on pre-2021 engines are prone to internal leaks; inspection is recommended during major services. AdBlue system integrity is critical for emissions compliance; low-quality AdBlue can damage the SCR catalyst.
Oil Specs: Requires Fiat 9.55535-DS1 (5W-30) specification (FPT SIB FT-SB-08-2020). ACEA C2/C3 compliant.
Emissions: Euro 6 certification applies to all models 2015-2023 (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/5678). No market-specific variations.
Power Ratings: Measured under ISO 1585 standards. 125 kW output requires EN 590 fuel quality (FPT Technical Manual TM-F2D-001).

The Fiat F2 – Diesel was used across Fiat Professional's large van platforms with longitudinal mounting. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-reinforced engine mounts for the Ducato Maxi payload variant-and no significant facelift revisions affecting core compatibility occurred during its production. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code stamped on the front face of the cylinder block, near the timing cover (FPT TM-F2D-001). The engine family is also indicated by the 8th digit of the VIN ('F' for F2 series). All F2 diesel engines feature a black plastic cam cover with 'MULTIJET' branding and a centrally mounted EGR valve. Critical differentiation from earlier 2.3L units: F2 engines use a Denso ECU with a 96-pin connector, whereas predecessors used Bosch ECUs. Service parts, particularly for the fuel system and EGR, are specific to the F2 and require verification against the engine serial number.
The F2 – Diesel's primary reliability risk is EGR cooler failure, with elevated incidence in high-mileage, stop-start urban delivery use. FPT internal warranty data indicates a notable failure rate before 150,000 km for pre-2021 builds, while UK DVSA records show SCR system faults as a common MOT advisory item. Frequent thermal cycling and poor coolant quality accelerate cooler core degradation, making coolant specification and system pressure checks critical.
Analysis derived from FPT Industrial technical bulletins (2018-2023) and UK DVSA failure statistics (2020-2024). Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
