Why does my Vauxhall Vivaro engine shut off while driving?

I recently bought a used Vauxhall Vivaro and it has been running smoothly until yesterday when the engine suddenly shut off while I was driving. I managed to restart it, but this has happened a few times since. Is this a common issue with Vivaros? What could be causing this and what steps should I take to fix it?

Hi Jamie, it is not a common issue with Vivaros, but it can happen due to various reasons. One possibility is a faulty fuel pump, which can cause the engine to shut off suddenly. It is also possible that there is an issue with the ignition system. I would recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic for a thorough inspection and diagnosis.

Hey Jamie, I have experienced the same issue with my Vivaro. Turned out that the issue was with the fuel injectors. They were clogged and needed to be replaced. I suggest getting your injectors checked and cleaned by a professional.

Hi Jamie, another common reason for engine shut off is a faulty crankshaft position sensor. This sensor helps regulate the engine's timing and if it malfunctions, it can cause the engine to shut off unexpectedly. I would suggest getting this sensor checked and replaced if needed.
