Does anyone know the location of the front crash sensor and have a picture of what we would be looking for.

Have had 2 lights on the dash for the past few months airbag and service light, garage diagnosed it to be the front crash impact sensor and said they wouldn't be able to fix it only vauxhaul dealers can.

We want to check it for a loose connection or see if water is getting in anywhere as it only happens when it rains alot.


Many Thanks

Front Wheel Wobble

Hi All

I am new on here and own a LWB 2003 Movano which has suddenly developed heavy wheel wobble under load.
This feel like the wheels are oval and is really bad from 35 and upwards, but only under load.
I have replaced the N/S Driveshaft, there were 2 needles missing out of one bearing but the brand new shaft has made absolutely no difference.
I changed the Nearside shaft because with the van jacked up I noticed the inner joint rotating unevenly as the wheels were rotated.
So my guess is...

Right please bare with me this could turn into a bit of an essay,

Sometimes when I start up and drive the van feels under powered, as in have to change down a gear to pull up hills compared to when it's driving well, and generally have to give it more accelerator pedal than normal when driving my...

Key issues to prevent hassle, 1.9 my own prevention measures, Parts bill to date of £3000 this is the cheaper way to find out

Cambelt kit every 30,000 (Gates Kit)
water pump same as cambelt (Genuine)
Aux belt around every 2yrs (Gates belt) (Known to snap and snap the cambelt)
Injectors Yearly removal and re-copper grease
Replacement MAF ( Vaux / Renault / Siemens ) not cheap more hassle than they a worth
Glow plugs every 2 yrs (NGK) not cheap

Greetings all,

Can anyone recommend a dignostic lead/disk so that I can test my 08 Vivaro. Glow plug and spanner lights come on intermittently resulting in temporary reduction in power. Switching the van off and restarting has been curing it so far, but would like to get sorted before it lets me down completely.

Ideally listed on EBay.

Cheers

I found £5 in change in the cab after taking out the bench seat to clean the mat properly. Result :D

Oh and loads of crud in the foot wells under the plastic where it can obviously get a bit wet. No drain holes in this area either so i'll be checking here periodically just in case.

Hi all

New here so please take it easy on me!!!

Looking for a bit of help. I'm currently trying to do the cambelt on my 2003 vivaro 1.9DTI.
I'm having a mare trying to get the crankshaft pulley off.
1) Is it left or right hand thread?
2) Do I absolutely have to have a locking tool or has anyone discovered a different way?
3) Having found the plug at the front of the engine for crankshaft locking, I'm assuming I can't put something in there to lock it as it would likely snap whatever I put...

Hi again guys, a few weeks ago i posted about the intermittent flashing I had on my dash, which apparently vanished of its own accord after the auto electrician had been over the loom.

Anyway long story short it's now back and worse than ever! I noticed it creeping back a few days ago, again while accelerating, and today it actually came on and stayed on for around 5 seconds before flashing again, then stopping until I accelerated again. It's the STOP light and the bottom left battery light...
