Is there an inherent problem with Vx's easytronic semi-auto? I've heard a few negative comments re them fitted to Corsas, but I've just heard that a mate, who has a semi-auto Vectra, has had his 'new' car off the road for the last fortnight while Vx have been deciding who should foot the bill for repair. Trouble is, he's not earned while the car's off the road cos he's a taxi driver.  :-? :-?

He should get a similar car, as a courtesy car, from the garage.....

You can always find loads of Corsa 'easytronic' autos on ebay listed for spares/repairs. Again, at auction there's plenty about. The 3.0 V6 CDTI with the autobox also doesn't seem to last that long either.

Vectra Autos are quite unreliable to be honest.

Apparently Vauxhall has been argueing the toss as to who's going to pay for the repair, them or the warrenty firm. Vauxhall's doing now though.

Can you put taxi plates on a courtesy car?  :-/

the boss bought an astra with the shittytronic box and i had a go in it and was bloody awful so i let her have ago in my omega at the time and she was amazed at the difference and how nice the omega autobox is,she looked into it on the tinterweb and there was horror stories...one bloke was apparently doing 80 on the motorway and the box decided to go into first and he wasnt the only one

i have had no experience of this easytronic (or difficult-tronic as the posts suggest) but i can defo say they should give you a courtesy car.

I posted that too, but was corrected by 'The Great One' I believe early generations were kak, but later ones were fixed. Cooling was an issue i think, nothing lasts as well as good old AR25/35  8-)
