Reconditioned Fiat Ducato 2.3 Multijet Engine

Fourteen engine codes for the 2.3 Multijet in the Ducato: fifteen years of revisions between 2006 and 2021

With this engine, the first registration date is a useful starting point, but it is not enough on its own. Between 2006 and 2021, the Ducato's 2.3 Multijet went through several update cycles, resulting in fourteen distinct codes — two main designation families help make sense of them: the F1AE blocks, introduced from 2006, and the F1AGL / F1AFL units, which appear on the more recent generations. An F1AE3481B, an F1AE0481D and an F1AGL411M are not interchangeable, even if the engine capacity is identical.

F1AE or F1AGL: where does the break come?

Codes beginning with F1AE — including F1AE0481N, F1AE0481D, F1AE3481B, F1AE3481D and F1AE3481E — correspond to the first and second phases of the engine. The prefixes F1AGL and F1AFL (F1AFL411B, F1AFL411C, F1AGL411B, F1AGL411C, F1AGL411D, F1AGL411J, F1AGL411M) indicate a more substantial evolution of the block, with internal variants that can be read from the engine plate itself rather than from the vehicle documentation alone. The code 2662216 and the abbreviated designation 1AE0481D also fall within this scope: they refer to specific variants that must be verified before placing any order.

Read the engine code first

On the Ducato van, the same model year can cover several codes depending on the power output chosen (115, 130, 150 or 180 hp depending on the phase) and the target market. The engine code is stamped on the block itself; it is this — not the V5C alone — that determines which bare engine is compatible.
