Post by: saltyone on 13 February 2011, 12:08:14

hi am back after selling my 51 reg 2.2gls auto (bad move) and buying a 06 vectra 1.9cdti 150 (even badder move ) but i must say the vectra hardly used any diesel ( as it was always in the bloody dealers getting fixed )  . so its up for sale now and ive returned back to trusted omegas .
now proud owner of a 53 reg 2.6cdx auto in star silver (good move )  :) :) :)

so hello again guys/dolls

Welcome back.
Just wandering what were the problems with the Vectra (those italian diesel engines were supposed to be really good)?

had the vectra since late October last year .

faults i had where

1.. alternator belt snapped due to bottom pulley failing cost 189.00

2.. erg valve stuck open and fooked up dpf valve cost 996.00

3.. swirl valve in manifold came of rod (common fault) needed new updated manifold cost 768.00

4.. rear n/s caliper seized cost 163.00

all costs included fitting by main dealers

the caliper /belt&pully where covered under my AA warranty and £500 was paid towards the manifold job by the AA .
 but only the cost of the erg valve was covered as they say the dpf valve is classed as exhaust parts  >:(

all this from a one owner full vauxhall service history and verified mileage car .

the 150bhp model (my one) has the fiat engine fitted with dreaded swirl valve . been told the 120bhp model don't have them so a better buy me thinks .

3750 and the cars yours lol lol
