Been asked by a mate what sort of price he would be looking at for a new fuel pump for his T reg 2.0 Diesel Vectra. Anyone got any ideas.
The car is starved of fuel so he had the AA out to check it over and he said the fuel pump is knackered. Anyone had any experience with them.
Thought I would ask you lot as your all up on your vauxhalls :D

Very very common problem with 2.0/2.2DTi engines about £1400 for a pump + fitting
btw the car is worth about £350 with a bust pump i can put you in touch with an aquaintance of myn that buys them (Broken) i sold him a neighbours DTi W reg for £350
it costs more than the cars worth to fix in a nutshell
-
Is it worth changing the fuel filter first before condeming the pump? Diesel pump failure is usually write off time for a car thats more than 5 years old. :(
If it is the pump you could try someone like this:-

Hes received a quote for £500 to supply and fit a new one, but by the sound of things it would be cheaper to buya new car ::)
-
£500 is cheap for pump replacement!!!!!!! we were quoted £900 alone for a refurb pump
its a very very common problem with them that the pump fails
-
sorry off topic, but do the 3.0V6 VeccyC oil burners have the same issue?
-
i believe the later Vectra C's with CDTi engines dont suffer from pump failure

Personally i`d go out and buy a newish veccy theres loads of decent uns out there rather than try to fix T-reg...... ;D

or buy a Ford Focus similar money better reliability :y
-
i was looking at VeccyC 3.0 V6 CDTi's - It seams if i want to stay Vx, VeccyC it is after the Omega.
Mondeo is too bland of the same age, BMW's cost too much to run, Mercs don't appeal..
Might have to be a VeccyC 3.2 V6 or 3.0 CDTi

Definately would not agree with the latter statement!
Dont get any real issues wth the Veccy C and would have sold better if it had not been called a Vectra!

Is it true the 3.0 diesel is good to tune? Read on some VeccyC forums, it was detuned cause it was ripping autoboxes apart, same as 3.2.

Don't help when it's spinning driving the front wheels!
Nice little project to install it into a more deserving RWD chassis though :D

i meant a focus to replace the vectra B
Alfa Romeo use the GM 3.0 V6 Diesel in there 159 JTD thing! and they go very very well!!!
Vectra C is nice they handle very well i like the look of the facelifted ones but not the pre face ones

I know its RWD, but until 4WD Insignias are down to usual Vx prices (give it 5 years) it will have to be a VeccyC to fill the gap, unless my 2.2 will last that long ::)
-
It dont need tuning, its not far off 400Nm of torque anyway!
Nice Isuzu derived lump!
-
i raced a signum CDTi V6 and it could keep up with a v6 vectraB

It should have beat it......must have been a wus behind the wheel!

he did try for the overtake a few times he backed off when i went over 120 >:(

They do have a serious amount of torque and unlike every 4 pot diseasel these days, its not over blown so has a flatter power delivery!
