1996 Vauxhall Vectra LS 1.6 16v from UK and Ireland
Faults:
Long running engine cut out problems which cannot be solved by the dealer. Vauxhall aren't very interested as the car is no longer under warranty. Fitting of a new water pump resulted in cam belt snapping and major costs.
It's a shame, nice car to look at but totally unreliable and I am not the only one from all accounts. The engine management unit has still to be mentioned to me after 11 visits in 11 weeks to the garage! I will certainly not be buying from Vauxhall again!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

What is it with the engine management light???
The engine will only go to 4500RPM, and the light (engine management) is still on, even after lots of trips to the garage??
