Opel Vivaro

The mid-size van, and like the Combo it changed parentage entirely. To 2019 it is a Renault Trafic with an Opel badge; from 2019 it is a Citroën Dispatch and Peugeot Expert on PSA's EMP2. So the earlier van's twin-turbo 1.6 dCi and the later van's BlueHDi are unrelated engines in unrelated vehicles wearing one nameplate. Fleet duty at high mileage is the constant across both, which makes after-treatment most of what either sets codes about.

Information, not instruction

CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.

Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:

  • The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
  • What you measured, not only what you replaced.
  • What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
