You guys before installing the turbo, should remove and clean the dpf. Had a turbo failure in a Corsa D with the same engine. A clogged dpf can create high back pressure.
I tell you what might be a good idea on that, Dropping the sump and cleaning out all the sludge. I know it's a diesel and oil will always be black, but you don't know how often that engine had been serviced! Just a thought! I drive a diesel and have always bought low mileage ones, but with every service, I do on it, I always run the engine with a Liquid Moli, engine flush. (Please Note, Other brands are available). With my last car, A Ford Focus, 1.5 Tdci, I bought it at 22,000 miles and when it was time to renew, which was 3 yrs, 118,000 miles, It never once needed any top up between services.
Hi Chris & Rob, This locks on the van are what we call slam locks. So more for multi drop and courier drivers. So once door shuts the handle is disabled. So the key is required to pop the doors. It stops people from walking up and opening door if couriers arms are full and can’t lock it them selves. Just make sure you don’t leave keys in the back and shutting all doors. It’s a common occurrence for me to have to go open them. Cracking vid as always
Definitely change the oil feed and return line it a known problem that they get blocked on them, van's Keep up the good work, guys, save one or three cars at a time 💪
Already into January and we’ve got and interesting van fix guys 😀 Looks like no dosh 💰 for Chris but some nice trinkets in the back fir the work shop 😊 Hopefully just a blown turbo good service and timing belt and she’ll be as sweet as a nut 👍🏻 Result 🤩
I just bought one of these last week a 17 plate double side doors eleci windows basic stereo non eleci mirrors with 120000 miles steel wheels 1 years mot for £3000 good wee runner needs a couple of bits done to it coolant leak and a stiff gear linkage
If you ever get diesel with a knackered turbo remember to clean intercooler out. If you start it up and engine revs out the only way to stop it is to put it in 4th with breaks on and stall it..
We had one in work and it had stuck piston rings causing oil to blow in to the exhaust manifold and through the turbo it was I big job but fun to do 👍👍
They realised they had made a mistake buying Fiats pretty quickly. With the constant short hops the posties do, the DPF needed constant regeneration. Pretty much every other day. Fortunately with these, the driver can do a manual regeneration. Turning circle bigger than an ocean liner also. My local sorting office had six of the Doblos and 40 Peugeot Partners.
Interesting Challenge. Check the oil isnt diluted with diesel from a leaky injector. Some turbos have their own oil filter on the inlet, could have got blocked with debris also. no harm taking the sump off either to check the oil pickup. Best of luck guys.
Looks like someone attempted to change glow plugs they are tricky to get out & well known for breaking in the head.probably removed turbo to attempt the removal of the seized glow plug.good luck with this one.
I think that van has been to a garage and found out the turbo was toast and knowing some garages they contacted vauxhall and told the owner how much it would cost to put right and the owner would not pay the amount so garage had to get van sold to recover their time
A bit of an odd one if it was just a broken turbo but it does run. On the other hand if it was used for business often people can't do without a van for too long so they go and buy another one. Great video Rob and Chris and I will wish you a Happy New Year Gents. 👍👍
Guys I love the way you always put ‘us’ front & centre of the action while problem solving. First thought from Rob is always what is the camera view! Big respect to you both 👏👏👏
Should have drilled the glow plug out then re-tap the hole. Glow plugs expand when they aren’t all working and get stuck all the time in diesels and this is the only way to get them out.
The vans are not as exciting like that BMW, but you know the market to buy and sell, they are relatively cheap and easy to fix so nice profit makers for you. The body and interior on this one will apparently only need a 20 Pound clean up, it is very clean in and out. Hopefully the replacement of the turbo and some related parts will do the trick. I would be concerned with the muddled up glow plug, I expect you will find a good way to get it out and replace it too. Looks like it will be a quick turn around assuming no other issues.
Is it a 1 owner vehicle? If it is then judging by the plates it’s an alphabet lease vehicle - we get it at work where we strip so far and they decide to send it to auction!
Rollback? I've had MoT stations record the odometer as MILES when it should have been Km. Only noticed after the event and you have to jump through hoops to get it fixed so not worth the effort.
Easy fix for you lads. I think whoever tried to do the glow plugs though they had broken it off in the head told the customer it would need a new engine and the owner just got rid because it needed a turbo and new engine.
Happy New Year Guys, just a thought, as a Corsa owner myself I would check for water egress in the drivers foot well. Easy enough just lift the access for the chassis stamp and carefully slide you fingers under the carpet. The Corsa had a problem with the brake servo seal to the bulkhead. The company used 'cheap' mastic by the look of it and it tends to crack over time allowing water to run into the cab. It's worth checking for before you reassemble the engine.
Happy New Year Chaps. Looking forward to another great year of content and thanks for the past 4 years or so I’ve been watching now. Hopefully there’s a nice profit it that one, looking that way at the moment👍
Is there any particular reason you are not doing the numbers on the BMW as you always do them. We have been told the end result but no numbers. Very unusual this from a great channel.
Happy New Year To you both. Great video on first principles investigation of engine failures/faults. Got some interesting stuff lined up for us too can’t wait to crack on 👍🇬🇧😎
Happy new year Guys . & who gives up on a vehicle just because a turbo has gone ? Whenever that turbo leak happened maybe the driver new what to do and stalled the engine rather than letting it blow up
Mint video 📹 as usual fellas great dionstics as always 👍 hopefully should be a quick and cheap fix nice little van very handy having the twin loading doors, i hope that's their is some change in the cab for Chris take care and stay lucky and healthy 👍 😊❤
I’ve always loved the dynamic of you two. Mutual respect with a healthy amount of laughter 👏🏻👏🏻

Just hung a secondhand door on my car , thank you for giving me the confidence to try things like this , the door cost me £30 from a breakers 😊

Cracking vid as always
Loved this episode, enjoyed listening to the reasoning and thinking of you guys working. Just keep the camera rolling while you work!
Am always struck by the efforts Rob & Chris go to to clearly explain things. Brilliant channel.
Definitely change the oil feed and return line it a known problem that they get blocked on them, van's
Keep up the good work, guys, save one or three cars at a time 💪

I'd take the intercooler out and flush it through, it could well be full of oil and crude especially important if the turbo self destructed
May have missed it but did you check the oil drain from the turbo for blockages ?
My mechanic said only remove glow plugs when the engine is hot. I think the wise move would be to forget that glow plug until the engine is running.
They do come out easier when hot.
We had one in work and it had stuck piston rings causing oil to blow in to the exhaust manifold and through the turbo it was I big job but fun to do 👍👍
Oil pump is the timing chain cover it runs of the crank shaft
Happy new year to both of you and all your other subscribers. We are like an extended family
Guy's . When you have 4.6 k viewers who give you the thumbs up you know you've made it to the top ! Congratulations
My local Post Office sorting office bought about twenty five Doblo versions of this van back in 2012. I saw them delivered. They still look like new.
They realised they had made a mistake buying Fiats pretty quickly. With the constant short hops the posties do, the DPF needed constant regeneration. Pretty much every other day. Fortunately with these, the driver can do a manual regeneration. Turning circle bigger than an ocean liner also. My local sorting office had six of the Doblos and 40 Peugeot Partners.
That’s weird most of the vans near me are beaten to bits
Happy new year guys
Learning all the time now I know what a banjo bolt is.
great video,sorry for your loss rob&claire x
Might be an idea to take dpf off and clean it if it has one all that oil in exhaust will kill a dpf
I love the detail you spend on all your motors. Be it a £30k bmw or a £400 van.
A nice demonstration of analytical troubleshooting there guy's 👌👍
Gotta love you guys for your kindness, dedication and good nature. Looks like the owner had a go at fixing the turbo and the dog ate it!
Interesting Challenge. Check the oil isnt diluted with diesel from a leaky injector. Some turbos have their own oil filter on the inlet, could have got blocked with debris also. no harm taking the sump off either to check the oil pickup. Best of luck guys.
Good video as always chaps, so sorry to hear about your dog rob, chin up 👍🏻
Looks like someone attempted to change glow plugs they are tricky to get out & well known for breaking in the head.probably removed turbo to attempt the removal of the seized glow plug.good luck with this one.
Great content guys love your enthusiasm and energy for every single vehicle great work guys
I think that van has been to a garage and found out the turbo was toast and knowing some garages they contacted vauxhall
and told the owner how much it would cost to put right and the owner would not pay the amount so garage had to get van sold to recover their time
I see lots of retailers saying the van market is dropping like a brick. Btw, VHl Combo also comes in a 1.5L diesel as well as 2 x 1.3l’s.
A bit of an odd one if it was just a broken turbo but it does run. On the other hand if it was used for business often people can't do without a van for too long so they go and buy another one. Great video Rob and Chris and I will wish you a Happy New Year Gents. 👍👍
Funny, I bought a ticket for the same reason and it is not something I normally do, even if it was MA. Good luck to Ian and his wife.
Guys I love the way you always put ‘us’ front & centre of the action while problem solving. First thought from Rob is always what is the camera view! Big respect to you both 👏👏👏
Very true. Rob & Chris are great communicators. The way they go through the thought process is interesting, and generous.
Hello Rob and Chris, Happy New Year, sorry to hear about Charlie. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
Hi guy’s nice to see you both back rob I am sorry to hear about your dog pal
Should have drilled the glow plug out then re-tap the hole. Glow plugs expand when they aren’t all working and get stuck all the time in diesels and this is the only way to get them out.
Hi rob and Chris good luck with the wee van, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless

A woman will never understand a Man and an Engine ,Its an amazing thing
Is it a 1 owner vehicle? If it is then judging by the plates it’s an alphabet lease vehicle - we get it at work where we strip so far and they decide to send it to auction!
Happy new year guys.
Great video, as always, Rob and Chris , my condolences Rob and Claire on the sad loss of your family pet, i feel for you.
Please check the dpf! It will be blocked and back pressure will be the cause. Great buy tho 👌
Rollback? I've had MoT stations record the odometer as MILES when it should have been Km. Only noticed after the event and you have to jump through hoops to get it fixed so not worth the effort.
Nice video that guys good to have you back i have actually had to speak to the mrs over christmas amd new year, i will look forward to the next one
Easy fix for you lads. I think whoever tried to do the glow plugs though they had broken it off in the head told the customer it would need a new engine and the owner just got rid because it needed a turbo and new engine.
U getting through these vans lately .Great video.
Chris has done well with his copart bids. Well done guys.
Chris is wizard, and you also know your stuff Rob, look forward to the next one
can we have a "always a gaaaaaamble" t-shirt ?
Where’s the pre order 😂
Better be quick before someone does it 😂
Or been a to long shirt
@@rolliemania631What you doing here? Looking for that PS5?! 😂
He needs this as merch! Also t shirts that say “let’s crunch the numbers”
Not the weather to work on the truck. Nice handy van was that a£1 you threw at opposite door Rob when you asked Chris" Found any change yet"😅
Rob threw the black tape from the reg plate.
Maybe garage said it was knackered charged them for a turbo which they returned whilst customer put in co part
Thanks!
Many thanks John, that is very kind. Happy new year bud
Chris is so knowledgeable . Great video.
I wonder what’s on that dash cam SD card - maybe some clues as to what happened to that van.
Happy New Year to you both Rob, sorry to hear about the sad news about your dog.

Earlier model bud
Hi Rob and Chris, this could be a nice result, looking forward to the progress on this one guy's. Alex
Happy new year lads looking forward to seeing the next one one the combo van 👍
Hello Rob and Chris,it's a runner minus the turbo,fingers crossed a few things and a turbo it will be sorted, brilliant video guys.
Put camera down into cylinders to check for oil, just in case.
Happy new year rob & Chris keep them coming ❤
Brilliant video Rob and Chris
I know it didn't swing over much while testing but would around 300psi be the minimum spec for a diesel engine?
You get a nice mention on V Tuned channel this week re BMW batteries! 🇺🇸
Happy New Year Chaps. Looking forward to another great year of content and thanks for the past 4 years or so I’ve been watching now. Hopefully there’s a nice profit it that one, looking that way at the moment👍
I think that DeWalt multitool is missing a part, maybe Chris can fix that too 😅
Nice little mention on Vtuned’s latest vid lads👍
I just watched that as well, I thought I was hearing things!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Is there any particular reason you are not doing the numbers on the BMW as you always do them. We have been told the end result but no numbers. Very unusual this from a great channel.
It is a badge engineered Fiat Doblo.
Happy New Year To you both. Great video on first principles investigation of engine failures/faults. Got some interesting stuff lined up for us too can’t wait to crack on 👍🇬🇧😎
Interested if you can get the dtuck glow plug out. I can understand the M4 winner saying it's not the car for him, I would be the same.
Sorry for your loss of Charlie. Rob. I lost my Charlie last year after 16 years. My best mate
Cheers bud it’s broke my heart 👍
Glad you got something that proves you human, love it easy fix .👍👍👍
Hopefully a quick fix guy's, You both have a good eye for a bargain, brilliant watching you both.👍
Nice boots lads. About time Rob.
Happy new year guys..brilliant channel as always👍🇬🇧
Happy new year guys .Another quick turn around vehicle Rob .Another good profit by the sounds of it
👍🏻
Plenty of hydro locked vehicles coming your way guys!!
Loved it boys. Will the intercooler be full of oil?
Who did you sell the classic Range Rover project to?
It's a wait and see, hopefully just the turbo required. I look forward to following

Looks like you did well on that one Rob and Chris
Great video guys

Great profit coming
Happy New Year to you both 🎉

Happy new year Guys . & who gives up on a vehicle just because a turbo has gone ? Whenever that turbo leak happened maybe the driver new what to do and stalled the engine rather than letting it blow up
Really enjoyed the diagnosis cheers to the new year lads
A great welcome back to 2024 with another puzzling rebuild, will be interesting outcome. As always looking forward to the next one.👍👍👍

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS !!
Another fantastic year looms.
Hope this vauxhall turns out OK!!
Fantastic video as always guys.

Happy and successful new year to you both. Cheers, Bob
