GM's 3.0 V6 CDTI engine

[amggsi]

Sisters boyfriend has one this past year and done 50k in it with no real problems.
It can be a bit "lazy" to start first thing in the morning, but Vauxhall can find nothing wrong with it.
Have heard of them doing in pumps, but they all seem to be remapped or tuning boxes that have done the damage.
He's getting 35-37mpg out of his, but it's well laden down with tools etc so maybe not a fair test.

They're a totally different drive to the 1.9 CDTi's, just a big lazy cruiser, don't like to be hurried along, but they can move when required!

Dont forget the Signum is availble in the 3.0 as well!

Thats the primary one we are looking for, a veccy would 'do' though

bargain if you dont mind losing a clutch pedal

Ideal to hear.

Ben, saw that earlier... given SWMBO's lack of diesel driving skills, an auto might be the way forwards lmao

TBH the Vectra autobox's are pretty solid and with the tourqe from the 3.0 i imagine would kick down quite well

It's an Isuzu engine too which probably explains the slow starts, 3.0 Troopers are famous for it!

^^ thats vectra looks alright , might go have a look thuis weekend , need rid of this golf

Fuel Pump, injectors, flywheels, done all of these things in the last 2 months on a 56 plate modle with 66,000 on the clock
And yeah its an Isuzu.. .

[Balley]

The Pump was 1200 quid and injectors are 350 each, and the fly wheel was 800 with a clutch BTW

drove a signuim elite 3.0 cdti, went extremly well, i serviced it. Only had to look at how big the front brakes were and thought this should go well then . It goes well and stops

mind you i think the 1.9 cdti goes well as well
