euro cargo +hatch to engine

[VRIN]

I have a 2000 Iveco 75e15 - I was just reading that older models have a 'hatch' to the top of the engine under the passenger seat is this true of the newer models???

my 04 one doesn't, i have a small cut-out out of the living, between backs of driver's seat, gearstick and first passenger seat, but it doesn't have a hatch afaik. i could be wrong but the rescue driver and my garage didn't remove the seats to try to get at the engine, put it that way...

No they all had a tilt cab for maintance unless some bodger has built a non tilt luton and hacked a l hole in the floor so they can claim its ok for maintance DO NOT buy a late lorry with out a tilt cab it was ok ish 20 years ago but not now with electronic controled engines esp ivecos ......

I wouldnt say Oakleys are bodgers would you it is perfectly acceptable to have a hatch built into the floor for maintenance,and as for your argument about electronic controlled engines they are maintained using laptops etc plugged into a port so no need to lift the cab at all.
Obviously it is preferable to have a tilt cab for engine access but as long as access is adequate it is better than having water leaking in through a poorly designed and built living access on a tilt cab .

OK oakley all now have tilt cabs and no maitanace is carryed out useing a computer... only diagnostics to find out whats wrong then a part has to be replaced which on the modern engines
can be very fidely.... oh and if the builder can't make the luton leak free then he should find someting else to do.. hope that clears up your misunderstadings

I have an Iveco (year 1995) which has a fixed luton. The access to the engine is via a large panel in the living so that the rear of the engine and the top of the gearbox is exposed. (Not under the cab seats). This has been perfectly adequate for routine servicing and I even changed the turbocharger via that. Not ideal but possible.

I have had this lorry for about 5 years now and the access hatch to the engine from the living together with access from underneath and also through the wheel arches means that you can get to more or less everything.

Get a tilt cab if you can but don't dispair if you can't.
