Problems with overheating and indicator lights in an Opel Vivaro built in 2015 - possible causes and workshop tips

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2017 Opel Movano, diesel. I would describe myself as someone with little knowledge of cars. In the workshop, the cable on the pump / control unit was replaced on my car. This cost a total of 220.0 euros and then everything worked perfectly again. Could you give more details about your Opel? Motorization, mileage? That would help to be more specific about your problem. Hope this helps you a little!

Thanks for your answer! My Vivaro has 83348km on the clock so far. Everything is fine with the drive, it's a normal gasoline engine. The pump thing sounds logical, I have the mechanic next on my list. I would have liked to ask around a bit beforehand and get some information. 220 euros sounds okay at first. Let's see what he charges me in the end.

Hey, no problem, that's what we're all here for, to help each other, right? Well, if your Vivaro shows similar symptoms to my Movano back then, then I would really assume that it could also be the coolant pump in your case. In my Movano, the pump was no longer cooling properly, which caused the engine to overheat. At the time, I thought 220 euros was perfectly okay for the repair. Perhaps you still have a warranty on certain parts? That could also save costs! In any case, let the mechanic know what he thinks. And good luck getting your Vivaro running smoothly again soon!

Hello again! Thank you for the well-intentioned advice. Yes, now that you mention it, there is indeed still a warranty on some parts. I will definitely get that checked out. Hopefully that will save me a bit of money. And yes, I'll definitely get back to you as soon as the mechanic gives the green light and also hope that my Vivaro will be running as normal again soon. Thanks again for your help!
