My Vivaro is possessed by demons
Discussion
HELP!
I've a 2005 1.9 Vivaro, with 176k miles. I'm having a major ongoing battle with it and I'm starting to lose patience
Couple of months in, it developed a couple of problems. Hot starting/diesel rolling back, and the glow plug light coming on and it going into a minor limp mode.
The EGR valve was replaced, which sorted the hot starting issue, and after a bit of googling I replaced the MAF which turned the glow plug light off.
Anyway, it passed it's MOT on Tuesday, and then threw the glow plug light on again on the way home, the b8stard.
Bit more googling, could be the MAP. I changed that, and cleaned the pipe to the inlet manifold, used a whole can of the old EGR cleaner to get rid of any gunk etc, no joy. Glowplug still on.
Bit more googling, try cleaning the big blue plug in the fuse box. Did that, cleaned it all up with contact cleaner, now the STOP and BRAKE lights are illuminated as well I tell you, it's possessed.
Any ideas what to do next?
