Is this the same as the Vectra engine, in so much as needs cam belt and tensioners done at 40k / 4 years?

You should do these at 40k / 4 years and it is recommended to do the water pump also.

i assumed you meant petrol?

Yep :y so it is a better engine?

Humm well its in a poor chassis and its FWD, like most chain driven engines if oil changes are neglected, then they can clog up, and cause chains to dry / snap.

Think Veccy 2.2 did do 150bhp tho :-/

Tunnie's 2.2 is very very quiet, almost at the stage of it being totally silent when we were driving around town at low speeds, quieter than all but one V6 I've driven.
Mine was a manual, not sure what a 2.2 auto would be like.

Mine is the quietest i've driven, as you say its silent at speed, where as most V6's have a nasty drone.

I put that down to 3k oil changes for last 46k and an old school double walled GM exhaust before quality dipped

147 to the Omega 144 according to details on autotrader site.  looking at a very nice Vectra SRI and possible a 2.2CD Mig, lost out on a bid for a Range Rover today, LPG Converted.......as you can tell, I know what I want.... ::) ::) ::)

Found me another, twin 75LTR tanks and only 100k miles with cloth interior, got to be worth a look.. :y
Still looking for a suitable Mig though..... :D :D :D

From some research looks like;

2.2DTi is 120bhp

1.9CDTi is 150bhp

What is CDTi ? strange that the smaller engine is the most powerful and a lot better on fuel consumption despite extra power...............

Must be a typo and 75L total... Can't see how they could fit twin tanks that size in :-/

;D that's actually rather odd. I saw an '03' DTI Elite saloon in Star silver with 103k miles, and decided not to bother to go and get it from auction as I wasn't sure of the demand. I know a 3.2 Elite will sell, but was unsure of the DTI's.

  ;D Don't let them out of your sight.... You know there's a demand!   ::):y
