2.6 V6 Number of Valves
« on: 21 February 2008, 19:15:04 »
I assumed that my 2001 2.6 Elite had 24 valves, but when I was speaking to the local Vauxhall dealer today he stated that is was 12 valves. Is he correct?

Some of the early 2 ltr Migs were 8 valve however as Mark says he's a daft tw*t
p.s would you trust the VX man to change a cambelt when he doesn't even know how many camshafts the engine has? :-?

Something you have in the back of your wireless, isn't it? :-/

Mechanics don't do any real mechanics work any more, otherwise they'd have taken so many engines to bits, they'd know them inside out. Today it's a matter of replacing what the computer says is wrong, scratch your @rse when it doesn't cure the problem, then clean the car so the customer is happy.
