What are the common issues with the Vauxhall Vivaro's engine?

I recently purchased a Vauxhall Vivaro and have been experiencing some engine issues. I was wondering what are the common issues with this vehicle's engine and if there are any specific maintenance tips I should follow? Thank you.

It's common for the Vauxhall Vivaro's engine to have issues with the turbo charger. Sudden loss of power, loud rattling noises and blue-grey smoke from the exhaust are all signs of a malfunctioning turbo charger. Regularly cleaning or replacing the air filter and using high quality oil can help prevent this issue.

Another common issue is the build-up of carbon and soot in the engine's EGR valve. This can cause various problems such as rough engine idle, decreased fuel efficiency and even engine failure. It's important to regularly clean or replace the EGR valve and use high quality fuel and engine oil.

I have found that using a fuel injector cleaner every 3,000 miles can greatly improve the performance of the Vauxhall Vivaro's engine. It helps to remove any deposits or build-up in the fuel injectors, resulting in better fuel efficiency and overall engine performance.
