Have you encountered issues with the turbo in your Vauxhall Vivaro, specifically models from 2014 to 2019? As a master tech mechanic with over 15 years of experience in the automotive industry, I understand how troubling and inconvenient turbo faults can be, particularly with this specific model.
The typical signs of a turbo fault in the Vauxhall Vivaro may include a significant loss of power, excessive exhaust smoke, and a noticeable high-pitched whine from the turbo. You might also notice your van struggling to maintain highway speeds. These symptoms can stem from various sources, such as oil starvation, which damages the turbo bearings, or debris impacts disrupting the turbo’s blades.
The root causes often involve poor maintenance practices, such as irregular oil changes or using low-quality oil, which can severely affect the turbo’s operation. Additionally, general wear and tear over the years contribute to diminishing turbo efficiency and eventual failure.
Repairing a turbo fault involves intricate steps which can be costly and time-consuming. The process generally entails the complete removal and disassembly of the turbocharger to inspect for damage. Faulty components like bearings, seals, or the turbo shaft might need replacing. Moreover, ensuring that the engine and oil systems are free of contaminants is crucial before reinstalling the turbo to avoid repeat failures.
Given the complexity and potential cost of repairing a turbo fault, have you considered selling your van instead? Operating from locations all over the UK, Vandervan offers an effortless selling process. Selling your Vauxhall Vivaro to Vandervan could eliminate the hassle and financial burden of repairs. You can receive a quick quote almost instantaneously and, if you agree, we can arrange for next-day collection absolutely free.
Moreover, the instant payment feature ensures that the funds are transferred directly to your chosen account, allowing you to consider investing in a newer vehicle without the downtime associated with extensive repairs. Transitioning to a newer model not only reduces the likelihood of recurring mechanical issues but also provides better fuel efficiency, reliability, and the latest technology, enhancing your driving experience.
Are you ready to move on from your turbo troubles and perhaps upgrade to a newer van? Feel free to reach out and contact us at Vandervan; our team would be thrilled to assist you through a smooth and straightforward selling process. Remember, investing in a new van could save you time and money in the long run!

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.
