i have an 51 plate 2.2dti elite saloon with a y22dth engine in it that has covered 182k and needs replacing,
would a y22 dtr from a vectra fit and if so how easy is it?
straight swap? or ecu and different bits and bobs required?
please help me out with this ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
-
Yep although some ancillaries will need swapping over as the DTR was from the vectra
As a clue
Y=Euro3 Emmissions
22=cc (2.2)
D=Diesel
T=Turbo
H=High Output
and
R=Increased output
The R variant has about 5-6hp more

thanx for the reply, 31 others have not! lol
any idea how big a job it is to do?
will take to a garage to be fitted if i buy it,
can you or someone else please enlighten me as to what ancillaries would also need changing???????
-
I would expect all rotating ancillaries would need changing (aircon pump, power steering pump, alternator).
Its not that bad a job on an Omega as there is quite a bit of room under the hood.
Whats wrong with the old donk, they are known to do 300K + miles with regular oil changes

just a few niggly problems with her, snapped glow plug and an easy out on top for a start!
maybe a new head would do but just getting a few ideas :y

Quite partial to left handed drill bits though. Either drills it out or unscrews it.
Or snaps and makes it a real fun and games fest, just like the easyout! ;D

Where are you GreenFingers? Maybe one of the regular guys (myself, Elite Pete, Darth Loo-Knee) could do it cheaper than a garage :y
-
Would the sumps need swapping over too?
Thinking of aquiring a replacement engine for when mine pops as the original is on 165k :) :D
