    Default GM's 3.0 V6 CDTI engine

    Any show stopping common faults with them? any milage related turbo dying/chains/belts eating themselves etc?

    is there a REAL difference in the drive between a 1.9CDTi 150 and the 3.0?

    Ive been thinking about these lately as the vectra's with the 3.0's are peanuts compared to the 150 baby brothers.

    Thats what i saw, MPG is very similar and obv with the capacity differences it should be half as strained!
