If you own a Vauxhall Vivaro from between 2014 to 2019, you might be familiar with the potential need for a reconditioned engine. As a seasoned mechanic with over 15 years of experience working with a variety of vehicles, I've seen firsthand the issues that can lead to considering a reconditioned engine as a viable solution. But what exactly leads to this need, and what does the repair process involve?
The Vauxhall Vivaro's engine issues commonly stem from high mileage wear and tear or lack of regular maintenance, which can cause significant engine problems. Symptoms indicating your engine may be failing include unusual knocking sounds, excessive smoke from the exhaust, and a noticeable reduction in power. You might also notice your engine oil depleting faster than usual, which can suggest internal engine issues like a head gasket failure.
Several factors could be at play if your Vivaro is experiencing these symptoms. These may include: - Overheating due to a damaged radiator or insufficient coolant. - Oil leaks caused by seal or gasket failures. - Timing chain issues, leading to inefficient engine timing and performance. Typically, these problems can be extensive and expensive to rectify.
Repairing a Vauxhall Vivaro engine involves several detailed steps, starting with a comprehensive diagnostic to identify all issues. If a reconditioned engine is deemed necessary, the existing engine will need to be completely dismantled. Usable parts are salvaged or reconditioned, while faulty components are replaced. Finally, the engine is reassembled, tested, and reinstalled into your van. This process is not only time-consuming but can also be a considerable financial investment.
Given the complexity and potential cost of repairing or replacing your Vauxhall Vivaro's engine, you might wonder if it's simply better to sell your vehicle.

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.
