Great another head gasket lol
I've got 3 month Warrenty with it so if goes straight back there.
Let's hope all goes well with it . I'll post pics when I pick it up next week. I know it's not omega but I'll stay on here for advice from you all .
-
my ones fine totally different animal to the omega and I want to go back to a omega only that I have seen the light of the 3.2....head gasket not a problem tbh.....high pressure fuel pump on the other hand can be...only problem is it will throw up all sort of errors none of which points to fuel pump :y
-
I'll kerp that in mind then . Is there any breathing problems on the vectra as I know the astra suffers from breathing issues .
-
if not serviced correctly as with any car you will have problems
-
It's being serviced before I pick it up . Are these 2.2 direct vectr sri belt or chain driven as when I look some are both the year is a 56 plate registered 2007 .
-
the 2.2 direct is timing chain and need to be replaced if it rattles...but if oils changes are kept upto date should be ok :y
-
Nice one glad to hear that . Thanks
-
think it maybe 80,000 miles to change cam chain and water pump ....otherwise it will be a problem.. :y
-
no does NOT need changing unless it is rattling whole idea of a chain as opposed to a belt:y
-
Famous for the chains snapping on these i'm afraid. Worst engine VX have ever done. Got 3 friends who had these previously, of which 2 had snapped chains. The last got rid of his soon after. One even had his dealer serviced and asked about the chain at 3 years old to be told they weren't a problem and it would be changed as per VX servicing. 2 weeks later the chain snapped and had to have a new engine. As a member of Vectra Sport back in the day with the wife owning a veccy, they were avoided like the plague.
-
Isnt there a modification that can be done to prevent the oil feed blocking up that supplies the oil to the chain?
-
Slightly off topic,but there's a 56 plate Vectra advertised for sale near me that is said to be a 3.0L diesel.I didn't know VX had done such a big diesel.
