Guest's review of Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9DTi LWB

“vivaro's need looking after !!!!!”

★★★★☆

written by on 17/02/2013

Had my long wheel base 06 vivaro for six and half years,just let me down for the first time.
had new clutch,slave cylinder and master cylinder and gear oil,a supply pipe inc labour £543.00
I drop the oil every 10000 mile and keep the brakes up to scratch.
One thing i would pass on to other owners is cover the engine with a sheet of visqeen as best you can because when it rains,the air intake on the bonnett leeks and the water drops onto the top of the engine and seeps down into the cylinders,found this out not long after i bought it as it used to blow out clouds of condensated smoke always after being stood in the rain,it was cured overnight with this simple solution and i believe has saved me a fortune over the years.
Great van but next time its a toyota or vw for me

REMOVE SCUTTLE PANEL, SEAL WITH SILICONE AND BOLT BACK TOGETHER, NO MORE WATER ON INJECTORS, COUPLE HOURS WORK, EASY JOB FOR HOME MECHANIC.
ENGINES ARE SO REFINED, QUICK, AND ECONOMICAL FOR SIZE OF VAN.
SLICK GEAR CHANGE ONCE WARMED UP.
BEST VALUE FOR MONEY ON MARKET IF YOU BUY WISE IE 1 OWNER,FULL SERVICE HISTORY, MINT CONDITION ETC EVEN A 7 YR OLD WILL BE RUST FREE AND SHOULD LOOK HALF IT AGE....BEST THING IS THERE ARE HUNDREDS FOR SALE SO YOU CAN BE FUSSY.
BEST VAN ON THE UKS ROAD BY A LONG MILE
