Fiat Ducato Camshaft Replacement Parts

Yes, all Fiat Ducato variants have a camshaft — it is a fundamental engine component present on every petrol and diesel engine version ever fitted to the Ducato, including all the common 2.0, 2.2, 2.3, and 3.0 MultiJet diesel units. There is no Ducato drivetrain that omits a camshaft, so this is always a valid part to search for. That said, the correct camshaft is specific to your exact engine, so your engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) is the single most important detail to have ready when contacting a breaker.

The Fiat Ducato third generation (Mk3) ran from 2006 to 2014, with a facelift arriving for the 2014 model year, and the updated Mk3 facelift continuing from 2014 onwards — so a 2012 and a 2015 Ducato sit either side of that facelift boundary. Whether the camshaft crosses that boundary depends entirely on whether both vehicles share the same engine code, as Fiat updated engine internals across this period. Name your engine code to the breaker and ask them to match it directly against their donor vehicle rather than relying on year alone.

No, the trim or body variant makes no difference whatsoever to camshaft fitment — the camshaft follows the engine, not the body style or trim designation. A Combi, Maxi, Panel Van, or Chassis Cab all use the same camshaft as long as the engine code matches. Focus entirely on confirming the engine code rather than worrying about which body variant the donor vehicle came from.

Not necessarily, because Fiat revised the 2.3 MultiJet engine family across the Ducato's production run, and different power outputs (110hp, 130hp, 150hp, 180hp) can have different camshaft profiles. The engine code stamped on your block is the reliable way to distinguish between these variants, and you should give that code directly to the breaker rather than specifying only the displacement and fuel type. This avoids the risk of receiving a camshaft that looks identical but has different lobe timing characteristics.

The Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, and Citroën Relay are all built on the same platform and share their engine families, so a camshaft from an equivalent Boxer or Relay with a matching engine code will often be the same part. However, you should confirm this with the breaker by cross-referencing the engine code and part number from both vehicles, as there can be market-specific or application-specific differences in specification. Breakers experienced with these vans will typically be able to verify this quickly.

The post-2014 Ducato facelift generation, which runs from 2014 into the early 2020s, is well represented in UK breakers' yards given how common the van is in fleets and rental operations, so used camshafts are generally available. Giving the breaker your full engine code will help them locate the right unit quickly, as the 2.3 and 2.0 MultiJet engines fitted across this period have variants with differing specifications. Confirm with the breaker whether any ancillary components or timing system parts are included with the camshaft, as these can vary and affect what you need to complete the job.
