Vauxhall Vectra 1.9 CDTi 150 Life 5dr

overall, i find the Vauxhall Vectra 1.9 CDTi very good. i have had to put it in for repair twice on warranty, first time for a worn thrust bearing, which was replaced, and secondly for a sticking valve in the emission system, which was also replaced.

I recently brought my Vauxhall Vectra for towing a caravan, I check the spec to the van should be no problems. On my first trip clutch started to smell while reversing, on my return home clutch burnt out, new clutch fitted, second outing it was smelling again so back to garage. No problems third outing slave cylinder packs in new one fitted next ouying clutch starts to burn again. Can antone help?

Comfortable, good space (cabin and boot), nice drve (at least comparing to my old Passat), quite shifty with 150bhp.

I am enjoying the car (mostly used for work).

Good for motorways but not so well geared up for build up areas.

Gear changing in the Vauxhall Vectra CDTi is not smooth at all. The indicators will drive you to distraction - they won't stay on when you really want them to (i.e when trying to change gear on a roundabout), but then won't cancel themselves when you have gone around a corner. If you try and push the indicator the other way to turn it off you end up signalling in the other direction. The car is less than 3 years old and already has an electrical fault.

Not pleasant to drive.
