Hi All, Can anyone tell me if a Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9 D.T.I. ECU will work in a Vivaro 1.9 DI They are both the same year van but i am not sure what the difference in the ECU is? I have the opportunity to purchase a Vivaro 1.9 DTI ECU with 2 x keys and the ignition barrel also the...

Hi All, Many Many thanks to all of those who have given me their valuable help & advise, i really do appreciate it, please keep it coming. Ok today i fitted another glowplug relay and another full set of relays just on the off chance that my problem could have been something so simple...

Ch427, Many thanks for your suggestions, what is the instrument binacle and where is it located,

Sparks, I am unsure but i think all relays have been tested? however i didn't actually see anyone test them! would this not show on the diagnostic report! just a thought what is the best way to test them!

Agile, No the stop light is still on.

Hi Guys, Wow i cant believe my luck! Ok here goes, but where to start!, I have had a mobile mechanic come out and have a play with the van in the hope of getting her to start, £80 notes down the drain? although he was here all day in all fairness to him. He eventually gave up and said its...

Hi guys, Thanks for the fast responses. Spark123, the same guy took a reading from this van using same equipment a few years ago when i was having Mass Airflow Device problems? thanks anyway ;-) Mursal, i have another key and it does exactly the same thing with both keys? im sure it...

Hi All, I've still not managed to get this hunk a junk working, however I've had a friend who has tried to connect his laptop and an Op-Com to the vans e.c.u to try and find the fault? however it would not initialise and he was unable to get any kind of information from the van! he seems to...

Hi ch427, I had the crank shaft sensor changed several months ago, as a result from advise in another thread! the advise was a life saver. However if the wires had come off wouldn't the glowplug light stay on as it did to me previously? Many thanks Gasnob

Hi Wotan, Thanks for your advise! where is the fuse on the glowplug circuit? i have checked all the fuses in the passenger side compartment and they are all ok. Many thanks Gasnob

Hi again everyone! Hope your all having a fantastic new year. I have recently had a new timing belt fitted to my trusty Vivaro 1.9DI 53 plate because it snapped! :-( The van was running ok for a couple of days no problems, the fault is probably nothing to do with having the belt replaced...

Thanks for the info on removing the temperature sensor, i have managed to remove the thermostat sensor, i placed it in some hot water and took some readings, it appears to be working ok. Is there anything else that could be wrong, ie fuse or relay? Best regards. Gasnob

Thanks, i will give it a go today and hopefully its just the lead that has come of due to my damn cat who thinks its funny to sleep under the van? Kind regards Gasnob

Hi all, Thanks Mursal, one last question if i may? standing in front of the vivaro with the lid open? where should i find this sensor! all i can see is a mass of wires in looms to the right side of the engine. Kind regards Gasnob

Hi all, Can anyone tell me what could be wrong with my Vauxhall Vivaro 53 plate 1.9 DI, the engine temperature needle on the dash has stopped working? i have no clue as to what could be wrong as everything else is ok with the van well except a little noise i get when i start it up! its as if...

Update, update, gather round! When your van is on axle stands and your too fat to get right underneath it you know its time to make that life changing decision to diet. bye bye bacon sarnis. Ok cos of the weight issue and my crappy trolley jack wont lift the van any higher i am unable to...

Ohhhly sh*t, it disappeared into the loom somewhere then gets lost under a plate, even with my torch i cant trace this lead from underneath the van! Im starting to think that's the problem! it just dont have a starter motor!!!! lol Ok now for another look! remember its boiling hot today...

Silly question and all! Any ideas where the damn starter motor is! is it hiding somewhere or do i need to get under the van. Thanks so much guys i feel im getting close to a cure.

Hi there, Thanks for that advise! i have just done that and unfortunately its still the same. Any more suggestions! please keep em coming.

Hi all, im back again! My trusty Vivaro has just let me down again? Could any of you guys shed some light on my problem! Vivaro 1.9 DI 120k on clock. Key turns in ignition but not even a click, lights dont even go dim when in starting position? No click from starter or solonoid. Runs like...
