Is there anything more frustrating than heading out to your van and discovering it won't start? As a master technician with 15 years in the automotive industry, I've seen this issue arise frequently, particularly with models like the Citroen Dispatch from 2016 onwards. Let's delve deeper into the likely causes, symptoms, and the potential repair processes for your Citroen Dispatch.
When your Citroen Dispatch refuses to start, the root cause can be anything from simple to complex. Usually, the symptoms are easy to spot, but identifying the exact cause requires a thorough check. A common symptom is that when you turn the key or push the start button, you hear a click but the engine doesn't crank. Alternatively, there may be no sound at all, or the engine might crank slowly.
Here are some potential culprits:
- Dead battery: Often, a non-starter issue in vehicles, including the Citroen Dispatch, is a drained battery. Check if your van's lights or dashboard are dimmer than usual, which is a typical sign of a battery problem.
- Faulty starter motor: A silent starter or a series of clicking sounds can signal a problem with the starter motor.
- Fuel system issues: If your engine cranks but doesn’t start, it could be due to the fuel filter being clogged or issues with the fuel pump.
- Ignition system problems: This could range from a defective ignition switch to failed spark plugs or a malfunctioning ignition coil.
The repair process begins with diagnosing the specific issue accurately. A battery test is straightforward and can be performed using a multimeter or a dedicated battery tester. Starting and fuel system troubles often require more specialized equipment and knowledge, possibly involving an OBD-II scanner to read any diagnostic trouble codes. Depending on the identified problem, repairs might range from replacing the battery or starter motor, changing filters, or more extensive electrical troubleshooting and replacement of components.
Sometimes, the cost and effort involved in diagnosing and repairing your van might not be the most economical or practical solution, especially if your Citroen Dispatch is already showing signs of age or has other looming repair needs. Here is where services like Vandervan can simplify your life.

It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
