If you’re handling problems with a Citroen Nemo from between 2008 and 2017, you might be considering whether to fix it or just opt for something newer. Below, I’ll explore common issues, diagnostic tips, and why it might be sensible to sell your van instead of dealing with the hassle of repairs.
The Citroen Nemo engines from this era can encounter a range of challenges. These varying problems can include power loss, unusual noises, and excessive oil consumption. Over my fifteen years as a master tech mechanic, I've seen cases where these issues are symptoms of bigger concerns like turbocharger failures or problems with the timing chain, both costly to address.
Power loss in these engines might often be caused by issues with the fuel injection system or a clogged air filter, while strange noises could indicate a failing turbocharger or gearbox issues. Excessive oil consumption might suggest worn-out piston rings or valve seals, which are particularly troublesome and signal extensive internal wear.
Repairing a Citroen Nemo’s engine usually starts with a thorough diagnostic to pinpoint the exact problem. Depending on the issue, repairs can range from replacing minor components to undertaking a full engine rebuild — a task that's not only expensive but also time-consuming. As any seasoned mechanic would attest, such repairs require not just expertise but also a clear understanding of the cost-benefit ratio.
Considering the potential expense and downtime of repairing an engine, you might wonder if it’s simpler to just sell your Citroen Nemo. At Vandervan, selling your vehicle is straightforward. We offer a 30-second online quote, can collect your van the very next day from anywhere in the UK, and provide instant payment to a bank account you nominate. This process eliminates the uncertainty and extended downtime associated with extensive repairs.
At Vandervan, we understand the challenges faced by van owners dealing with older or malfunctioning vehicles. We pride ourselves on offering an efficient and trustworthy service that respects your time and financial considerations. Why sink further funds into a Citroen Nemo that may continue to present problems? Explore your options with us, and potentially liberate yourself from ongoing vehicle maintenance headaches.

Yes, you can indeed sell your financed van with vandervan even if it's under a Hire Purchase (HP) or Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement.
If you decide to sell your financed van, the initial step is to obtain a 'settlement figure' from your lender, which you can usually find in a settlement letter. Following that, get a valuation for your van.
Our team will walk you through the settlement process.
We do not charge any fees. There are no admin charges or anything like that. Just your van, your money, instantly.
By selling your van through our service, you join a robust network of over 4,000 verified dealers.
This can often result in a more favourable price compared to part exchange, where you might find yourself confined to a single dealer’s assessment, which might not accurately represent the real market value of your van.
Part exchanges often result in less favourable outcomes for sellers, particularly if the dealer is not intending to retail your van and plans to pass it along instead.
However, with our van buying service, you stand a better chance of obtaining a great price.
The process with us is quick and straightforward. Simply start with a free valuation and contrast this with your part exchange offer. You might be delighted to find how much more you could get from using our service than you’d get from a part exchange!

We buy any van make or model, and any body type. Get a valuation today and see if we can help you sell your van.
Fortunately, we buy any van even if they do not have a logbook, although it is advantageous if you have a full V5 Logbook, or at least the green New Keeper Slip.
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.
