I was fortunate to get hold of an immaculate Citroen Nemo during the first lockdown. It ran like clockwork in the time that I had it. I did quite a bit of research on these vans, particularly the numerous variants of the 1.3 diesel engine,and having ploughed through the lovers and haters of them online,I also asked around amongst real owners and mechanics etc; the consensus was that if the engine is maintained with regular oil and filter changes,perhaps more than the book says,they can and do run in excess of 250k miles.Oil change was regarded as perhaps the most important change.I treated mine well in general,changing all filters and fluids,and it didn't skip a beat and pulled really well.I had the same engine in an LWB Doblo too,and that too was fine,and so were most of the ancillaries too. I had a minor issue with the DPF in the Doblo,but this was rectified by a DPF specialist without an extortionate bill-the clutch sensor switch and exhaust pressure sensor had pretty much simultaneously failed,meaning the DPF couldn't regenerate, so the engine went into limp mode-once these sensors were replaced at a very affordable cost(£50-60 for both sensors),and the dpf was flushed without taking it off the van,the van was like new.I was fortunate enough to find an honest DPF specialist,i.e. the type who will thoroughly test it first, including test drives as part of the fault diagnosis.Anyway,treat these vans and these engines well,and they will go the extra mile literally 👍

I had a Bipper for three years trouble free motoring. Absolutely fantastic little van good on fuel so cheap to run. I didn't have any of the issues you are talking about?

Since Marty Mcfly and doc Brown went back in time to 1885 they have never come across anyone who checks the oil with the engine running 😂😂🎉😊

I have a 2010 model with 350 000 km

My Nemo has given me 110k without any real trouble. The one Achilles heel is the front suspension: it's not sealed properly from water ingress; then rusts and costs £100+ a pop to sort.

What I did. Bought the bearings. Openend the bearings (only screw driwer needed). Remowed grease and regreased using salt water resistant grease for boats. Much stiffer grease. Use a lot of grease. No problems for 150.000 miles and still running strong.

white smoke would likely be a injector fuel stuck open , letting excess fuel into the exhaust system, its too specific to say white smoke - turbo bad

My nemo went runaway today i put it into 5th gear and stopped it but the transmission is fried 💀

If the turbo is fault You’l have low oil….. ffs mate your embarrassing, low oil could be the head gasket gone or a leak from multiple areas, it could even by just burning and not been topped up. What a melon

Timing chains generally don’t break, they generally skip a tooth or multiple teeth or come off altogether. Extremely rare to see a timing chain break altogether. Your a typical salesman with no mechanical knowledge

my bipper 14 plate has a vauxhall engine in it is that normal
