My Vectra
« on: 23 January 2009, 18:47:27 »
I have finally decided to sell my 03 vectra (with failed fuel injection pump). Was just wondering if it is better to break it and sell the bits, or to sell the whole car as a non runner?

what trim level is it? does it definately cost what you said it would to replace the fuel injector pump?

I agree.....that sounds far too much!

I assume its a tractor.....diesel pumps are loads more than petrol.....but even so.....i had a merc diesel fuel pump replaced (c220 td) by a merc dealer a few years ago.....and with flushing the system out (it had petrol put in it, hence why the punp failed) it was around £1500......i think the pump was around £800, the rest was labour.

i just sold a friends vectra estate DTi with the same fault we got £360 on eGay for it

it was a 2000 W Estate in silver with 100k on it

its not as simple as replacing the pump! a Tech II is required and also changing a Chain driven diesel injection pump is highly skilled work so £££££££££

i can give you the details of the bloke who bought my friends he is a VX breaker who fixes the faulty pump problem

this is a common fault i believe with all 2.0 Di/DTi engines made between 1999 - 2004

That would be the ideal replacement if itll go in the older shape!

Sorry been at work, it's 2003 new shape vectra 2.2 DTi SRi the fuel injector pump has perished and it is £2500 for a replacement one fitted. It hasn't ever touched a drop of petrol always ran on diesel just decided it didn't want to put fuel into the engine one day. It has 132000ish miles on it and apart from that and a small dink on the front bumper it is in great condition. So what would you do? Strip it down and sell the bits, or sell the whole car?
