Has anybody tried/owned a V6 Signum Elite. ?

Friend of mine is considering getting an 06 plate and would appreciate any advise or areas to be to aware of

[tunnie]

Henryd has one, he is quite chuffed with it.

V6 petrol or diesel?

[amba]

He was looking at a 3.2 automatic petrol engine with full Irmscher kit .

Pictures looked nice but unsure how it would shape up to his Omega

[Elite Pete]

Didn't the auto gearbox fill with water due to a duff gearbox oil cooler on them

[henryd]

Chuffed with my V6 3.0 diesel Elite auto,goes very well and averages 34mpg driving around down here in cornwallshire,gets up to about 38 on a good run and thats not driving with economy in mind,not quite as good a ride as the Omega was but has most of the toys

Earlier Vectra C's/Signums did have a problem with their gearboxes, EP is right, they were sorted on later models as Tunnie said .

I'm pretty sure there was recall for the problem too, could be wrong though.

I ought to check if mine was one of them as its an 04

Yes I read that the water went into the 6 speed auto box too from cooler failure.

Looks a nice car though and with the Irmscher kit on sets it apart.

Mines a 5 speed but probably the same cooler

My old man had a 2.0 Turbo one with Irmscher kit, they do look well

Last shape astras had the same issue,
this time caused by a rad letting go and coolant going into the auto box.

Its a Vectra-C (which all the problems that brings) with less seats.
