Vectra VXR/Signum 2.8 cooling system.
« on: 09 October 2015, 12:48:36 »

What is the capacity?

Can't seem to get a definitive answer from the Vectra C boys.

I'm pretty sure the car is on it's original coolant and I can't find any information with regard to changing it......merely topping up.

Sealed for life?

Best figure I can find is 7.7 litres.

Four litres of  GM red should sort it. :y

I've said to you before..... sign up to the UK Saabs forum.   Loads of people running that engine over there (in a proper car) and they know the differences between the Vx and Saab.  Don't be shy just because you bought the underdog!  :y

And the wrong engine!

How very dare you sir. ;D ;D

The 2.8 V6 is a friendly old hector with plenty of tuning potential hampered by the fact that it drives through the wrong set of wheels. :-\

Despite the banter, I bet your Signum is a wolf in sheep's clothing and capable of giving the Beemer/Audi boys a run for their money!  :y

Very true, Sir Tig. :y

It looks so ordinary with no big spoilers or skirts that many people are surprised at just how quick it is.
Far more muscular than even my 3.2 plod Omega.

Far quicker than BM's undernourished Saab. :)
