Vauxhall Vivaro Engine Failure Hazard

[@rf7931]

25k miles between oil change is a joke. Great vid as usual fella.

[@liambyrne591]

Crazy , you should never go over 20k or one year

[@hughmarcus1]

@@liambyrne59110k max. With these Euro6 engines & oil dilution the oil is like water in them.

[@mehmedjakubovic8401]

Manufacturers just want your money, they want to sell you more replacement parts or another car hence this interval. Same with lifetime oil on gearboxes.

[@danpeters7850]

@mehmedjakubovic8401 or there try sell you a milk float not my sort of thing

[@danielseibert4082]

@@danpeters7850 even more weid the twinturbo version has the same intervals but also gets like 3L more oil 😅

[@BTurner.]

You really should be teaching all of this in a college as your knowledge about these things is something that needs passing on. I bet there isn’t a main dealer “technician” in the country that can even come close to you.

You’re the man . I owe you a beer as cause Iv watched all your videos I learned how to do my vapourizer and clean the dpf . I bought the kingbolen k7 too to help me. It took a few days to kind of get what I wanted but I never touched the regen button. Thanks again matey .

[@ORileysAutos]

Glad to help

The van whisperer strikes again. Well done Jimmy!

[@markpiper8082]

Your renault and alike video have help be out sorting my fleet dpf faults.

[@bradleymotorsport]

Love the content Jimmy, keep the Vivaro vids coming! A lifeline🤣👍

[@ORileysAutos]

More to come!

[@tomcurran65]

Brilliant diagnosis, fault finding, and fix!

[@neildean7515]

Top job jimmy. That customer is lucky to see you. Engine dash faults are not always clear on these opels, Vauxhalls etc. pop up for all sorts of reasons(my zafira drives me mad), but I have learnt so much from you regarding EGRs, Dpfs, oil (Now 5k change with filter) and glow plugs which i recently changed. My basic launch scan tool is a bit limited, so need to upgrade.. what Launch scan tool iS this one???? Looked good

[@NigelsModellingBench]

I had this alarm when foxes chewed through my DPF pipes, (2015 Vivaro Biturbo), then again this year when the barstewrds chewed through the temp sensor wire and shorted the two cables together. No DTC, but i noticed the EGT reading number 3? was at 458 degrees just after start up...

[@hughmarcus1]

Have you access to a rifle. 😉

[@bobrose7900]

Do you get many NOX sensor faults? Both mine have suddenly gone out of range, but they look spotless.... Replacements on order. Great video, this would have beaten a lot of mechanics before they'd even started.

[@rossp446]

Great video Jimmy what type of cable did you run through with the drill ? Would welding wire work ? I am experiencing this fault also , thanks

[@danielseibert4082]

@@rossp446 no. Solid one piece wire wont work. Twisted steel wire ist best

[@shaunblakemore7150]

Nice one Jimmy 👍

[@ORileysAutos]

Thanks 👍

[@sylwiom12]

Perfect job

[@Franco-shepherd]

Hi Jimmy.. fantastic work.. what model Launch scanner are you using in this video?

[@MummaBear]

Is it in the show notes?

[@danielseibert4082]

In german the failure hazard warning is even scarier. here it says "engine can be destroyed"😂 (but of course in German)

[@gjt2209]

I noticed you didn’t use your usual Mityvac, when testing for the blockage. What brand is that one Jimmy?

[@beetboob]

Hopefully, it's a bit cheaper

[@gjt2209]

I managed to bag one on AliExpress for around £20 delivered.

[@adamcotter6447]

Great video once again 👌 what's the operating tempature that these van get up to on a drive? Should they hit 90 degrees and hover around there? Stuck at the moment and no better man that knows these vans to answer the question 👍

[@ORileysAutos]

80-90

[@trevororegan]

Can anyone help and advise what is the most effective way to inject the launch fluid. Boost pressure sensor, o2 sensor or direct into the side of the dpf. Thanks

[@Emtbwebb]

These vauxhall vans are getting worse 😢

[@adamevo6]

You really know your stuff should the dipstick read like that permanently I’ve always gone to top line

[@mikeberry304]

Oil level can increase when the van does a dpf regen on its own , and if it does it too many times without dpf regen success, oil dilution fault occurs

[@adamevo6]

@ I was referring to when he topped up after changing the oil

[@mikeberry304]

​@@adamevo6 so was I , that's why we don't fill to top level nowadays 👍

[@adamevo6]

@@mikeberry304 oh ok, I’ve had mine since new 2017 and I’ve always kept it at the maximum line. Now on 100k no issues apart from adblue nox

[@Sylvester-gl6ox]

Keep trying to contact you re my golf. With dpf problem?

[@ORileysAutos]

What is the problem with it
