vectra problems

[General Baxter]

right the ring on the n/s shaft corroded away, thus no speedo, abs or traction control

replace the cv (what a messy job), and it still dont work :(

also put another new sensor on it, as well as a hand brake cable

looks like another £50 down the drain, just to go to the scrappy :(


an ideas what else i could try ?

Have you reset the Fault codes? These things can be tempramental so resetting the codes/ECU is probably the best option.

[General Baxter]

well i had the battery off for 3 hours,

cant take it to have the codes done, no mot

Vectras such so much ass it hurts. I changed the injector pump in my 2.0 DI and now I need to get the security codes from the Main dealer and an Opcom back on it to sort out.

I'm buying another Cav.

have you road tested it since?

[General Baxter]

i cant, no mot

[General Baxter]

just risked driving it, still all inop

i think its one for the scrap heap

oh i remember, i did take it for codes, last year, the ecu would not talk to the computer

Ive just had to change the cv joint on my parents vectra b because of the same problem. ABS ring had split due to rust and caused the abs to constantly kick in, speedo went about on its own aswell;) Now its changed works fine!

Its easy on the vectra, undo the 2 bottom arm bolts, undo the shaft nut and pull it out!:thumb:

[General Baxter]

iv changed it, and it still wont work
