Hi
I have a problem with my vivaro van.
The engine cuts out when i come to slow down at junctions.
When it as got warm, it happens less. But first thing in the mornings it seems to happen all the time.

Anybody else came across this problem...

how old is the van

[Ryan Phillips]

had a similar problem with mine took it to vauxhall who ran a diagnostics check it was a dodgy airflow meter but got it done under warranty

[NWH]

Could be the air flow mass meter.

[L.J.Thorpe]

i thought airflow mass meter problems showed up more under acceleration or perhaps it works either way ,if it is amm it should be relatively cheap and quick fix tho

[Sir Squeaky]

Sounds more like the idle sensor if it's when you come to a halt.

Is it under warranty?
I'm sure it'll be covered.

[see clear lee]

mass flow sometimes doesnt show up on diagnostics i had this once but it sounds similar however you say it happens when slowing down is it when the clutch is dipped? as this also is a sign of the idle control valve , is there not a vivaro forum to check,  maybe worth a google.

[david68]

No warranty
2002 Model
But will try air flow......Thanks

I did do a search on this problem and its seems common and they still cant find the answer.

The reports show that the van reliability is only 1.2 out of 10.

They say the tansit T280 is good for reliability and the VW t30

It does happen when you slow down and yes when clutch is dipped

I nearly brought a 04 vivaro,but i researched them 4 a while and spoke to 2 people who had them and all said stay well away,big time gearbox issues! Have a look on google,the best vans in my eyes r the tranny van,vw, and hiace which i hav. regards mike.

Gearbox problems are pre- 55 plate.
New ones are fine.
Transits aren't though apparently....

I have always thought these were excellent vans, but i saw some guys trying to get a 55plate started in asda car park last night, the engine kept cutting out!!! Seams they could be problematic!!
