If you're driving a Vauxhall Vivaro from between 2001 and 2014 and are experiencing issues with the turbo, you're not alone. As a seasoned master tech mechanic with over 15 years of hands-on experience, I've come across many cases of turbo faults in these models, and I understand the frustration and potential costs involved. Let’s delve into what causes these issues, how to identify them, and the usual steps required for repair.
Several factors can lead to a turbo fault in the Vauxhall Vivaro. These often include:
● Degradation of the turbocharger due to old age or wear and tear.
● Blockage in the oil feed lines, restricting lubrication.
● Foreign objects entering the turbo, causing mechanical damage.
● Failing to warm up and cool down the engine properly, stressing the turbocharger.
Symptoms that suggest your Vivaro might be experiencing a turbo fault include:
● A significant drop in engine power.
● Increased exhaust smoke, particularly blue or grey in color.
● A loud whining sound from the engine, which increases with throttle application.
● The engine warning light appears on the dashboard, indicating a diagnostic check is necessary.
Repairing a turbo fault involves several steps, which can be costly and time-consuming. The process typically includes:
● Diagnostic testing to confirm the turbo issue.
● Removing and possibly replacing the damaged turbocharger.
● Flushing and replacing oil feed lines to ensure no blockages harm the new or repaired turbo.
● Checking and repairing any collateral damage to the engine or exhaust system.
Considering the complexity and cost associated with diagnosing and repairing a turbo fault, you might find it more practical and economical to sell your Vauxhall Vivaro. Handling such an intricate mechanical issue can not only be costly but also time-consuming, possibly leaving you without a vehicle for an extended period.

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.
