anyone have a vivaro?
whats your rev limiter set at, and what engine? Mines 4k revs, but whilst reading up on engine trouble, it seems some people think 4k is limited?
Must say mines a total dog, no power at all at low revs. Burns a litre of oil in 100 miles if you do 80 mph.

Sounds a bit dodge to be burning a litre of oil in a 100 miles, worn piston ring?

1.9cdti injector seals gone ,pull the leak off pipes and find oil instead of diesel around £400 to get a set of injectors sorted common fault and
thats where your oil consumption is coming from,affects a lot of vectras too

Got a few in work, excellent vans.
They don't use much oil and they're no dogs ! I think yours may be fuct.

nice one! It doesnt use any oil if i only do 60, and one time after a long period of full throttle, when i lifted off it started revving itself (ie
running on its oil). Does that all tie in?
im annoyed with the van as, in less than 10k miles, its needed a new turbo and gearbox.

Weve got loads of them......cant say Ive ever heard a good word about them.
On the limiter front ....The new transit is limited to 70 as well so big brother can have his way..........
