1998 Vauxhall Vectra CDX review from UK and Ireland
"I will never buy Vauxhall again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust Gas Recirculator valve replaced.
Light on air conditioning control panel blew, whole unit has to be replaced.
Fan belt snapped.
Warning that headlights not working, even when lights are switched off.
Rear windscreen wiper motor worked loose from it's mounting.
Lid to storage pot between front seats clips driver's seat, leather wearing away.
Stitching on seats pulling through the leather like a cheeswire.
Map pockets in back of front seats not very strong, pulling away from the seat.
One speaker replaced in drivers door.
CD player does not like CDs at random and refuses to play them.
Steering wheel squeaks turning corners.
General comments?
This car has all the gadgets and none of the reliability.
The depreciation is horrendous, even after buying it secondhand.
It is difficult to find a comfortable driving position.
Wing mirrors need to be adjusted every so often as they drop out of position, or is that the seat going out of position?
