The head gasket has a well known manufacture fault which brings on the dreaded "pot 4" syndrome
the gasket breaks away between the water jacket and pot 4 of the engine and fails repeatedly.
30,000 miles between repairs is average, some are very lucky and get away with no head gasket failure, however most do not.
Water is dragged in to the engine, on down stroke and gases escape in to the water on up stroke and firing, early symptoms are the blowing of the heater matrix valve due to increased pressure as it increases the emmisions light will light as steam is detected in the exhaust
Vauxhall do not want to know and will not listen, end of story
They all fail eventually !
its a head off job, a pressure test on the head it needs skimming to get the crap off where the water is dragged through, a new gasket, timing belt and top gasket set, its also a good idea to get the head cleaned out to remove any crap from the breather ports.
It is not a job for a DIY mechanic.
expect to pay around £500 for a fix.
To diagnose use a water tester bulb that detects for exhaust gasses in the water.
