hey!, ive come across a 2.0 auto lpg facelift w reg mig. i already have the 2.6 auto lpg and iam really happy with it, so iam thinking of getting the 2.0 for my brother who presently drives a civic on a t reg and wants to get rid of it. anything in particular i need to look out for on the 2.0 migs?. Car starts up fine drives fine, engine sounds way different compared to my 2.6 but i guess since its a smaller engine. it changes gears fine too. there is no service history but the oil and all looks fine.

There’s a big difference between a 2.0 4 pot and a 2.5/2.6 V6, the 2.0 ecotec is grossly under powered, and lpg to the 2.0 is pretty much a waste of time in my opinion especially if its factory fitted from Vauxhall's, nothing but problems.

i competely agree that its underpowered, i drove it for a bit and then i went back to my 2.6 and felt i was in a ferrari or something!. but my brother drives a 1.4 civic and the omega 2.0 definately feels that it has better power with the economy. as for the lpg, its not the factory system. its an after market system fitted by some approved installer, what issues can i look for out for?
thanks!

Post what LPG system it is, a lot of the after market systems do a good job if economy is what you’re after. Is the LPG single point or multi point?, does it have a LPG certificate?, remember that LPG is around 80 to 90 less percent over normal power.

Again in my opinion, being an auto, I reckon your going to be better off with an LPG 2.5/2.6 or even a 3.0L over a 2.0L.

If were taking economy.
