Vauxhall Combo 2011-2018 | what you NEED to know | difficult to ignore??

[@PolioHamchild]

I had my 1.6 remapped 3 yrs ago due to living in a hilly area. 140bhp with 263nm and 50+mpg. It's made it far easier to get about. I love my van but the only issue to me is the hilariously bad turning circle. You need a sense of humour in supermarket car parks😂

Outstandingly detailed clear and concise review. Fantastic. 🙂

Thank you kindly!

will keep my astra van going as long as i can .

[@darenalexander7532]

The only thing i advise with combo's and doblo's is get your cam chain changed earlier than they recomend there milage life is only about 145k miles before they die so highly recomend regular cam chain changes before you get stuck in the middle of nowhere with no phone coverage and the road recovery people cant find you for 6 hours!!!! And after you finish paying 7k for it just days after !!! And regular servicing helps the 1.3 isnt worth keeping past 100k without doing the work...

100% correct

Turbos go around 80k and timing chain snap without warning 1.3

[@aspunkyyacker6850]

Aye the 1.3s are wank

[@jameslinton2836]

I can confirm.......turbo dead at 59k, timing chain snap without warning at 64k.

can you please review a vw calfornia ocean

[@bigend07]

Does the vauxhall share the same engines as the fiat doblo? I am looking at one of these to upgrade from my MK1 transit connect, i will not look at the new connect due to the weak engine.

[@ajackson1805]

I believe so, i've just purchased a late 2018 Fiat Doblo with 1.3 multijet diesel 95hp, it appears lots of parts same as Vauxhall. This 1.3 engine is used by Ford, Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Suzuki, Tata, Chevrolet, Citroen, Peugeot, Opel, Vauxhall, Fiat etc. Apparently change oil regular and all filters. As with any engine always helps with engine longevity!

i have a 2013 1.6 short wheel base, and i would not be with out it

[@MrGasho77]

Smokey, smelly, unreliable and possibly the worse van I've ever owned, expect it to constantly let you down, mine is currently broken down on the drive with the BCM failing. 97000 miles. If you love throwing money at your vehicles these are for you, Ive spent thousands keeping it running for the last 10 years, Its taken me to the edge with frustration. Avoid.
