Can I fit a 2.2petrol as a direct replacement for a 2.0 petrol engine?
Will all the 2.0 electrics fit the 2.2 lump and will the 2.0 ecu etc need to be changed?
Thanks in advance.

Hi you will need the wire loom and ECU, check at a scrapy, some wire are the same but best to get the right wire loom for the engine, ECU has dif setting on 2.2 than 2.0. :y :y :y

2.2 is DBW so you'd need the throttle position sensor and loom from inside the car. It'd be easier to source another 2.0 to be honest :y

I hope that I am not making myself look thick by asking this but what does DBW mean?
-
DBW = Drive By Wire
Electrically controlled by servo motors not directly by a steel cable .. :)

Thanks, silly me.
Could I fit the 2.2 engine in using the manifolds and other bits from the 2.0 engine as they look the same except for the 2.2 block being taller?
-
dead easy just swop manifolds off 2.0 and some sensors might have to change cam cover :y

Jamie, have you got a 2.2 lump already?

Jamie, have you got a 2.2 lump already?
No, not yet.
My engine went in the early hours of tuesday morning, had been running perfectly all night (It is a taxi) until I pulled away after dropping a passenger off when the power dipped and this tapping noise started.
I got the car home and had a look at it later in the day, before looking at it my first hunch was that the timing belt had slipped but I was wrong. All the timing marks line up perfectly.
I then did a compression test and No 1 registered 0, needle didn't move but No's 2 3 & 4 registered nearly 200 psi. It starts but is very smoky and is burning a lot of oil and runs really rough and noisily.
Since I am going to have to replace the engine any way I thought I could possibly replace it with the slightly more powerful 2.2 lump as the 2.0 seems a little under powered when full of passengers and when I am using the car to tow my caravan.
A local breakers has a 2.0 lump for £150 + vat but another breaker has a 2.2 lump from a frontera for £180.

I have a 2.2 I'm breaking here, it still running ATM (till tomorrow anyway) with all the correct loom etc..
-
not sure if frontera lump is that same as the Astra/Vectra 2.2 or the Omega 2.2
-
I got a 2.0 engine from my local breakers yesterday and have started removing the old one.
Thanks for everybody's advice.
