1996 Vauxhall Vectra LS review from UK and Ireland
"Don't Waste Your Money."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine cutting out, bit danger when your going around corners!! new valve and breather modification £280.00.
Knocking in the steering, new steering knuckle £110.00 fitted joint, but steering wheel was up side down. they didn't notice??scary.
Petrol tank leaked first time I filled it. filled the back seats with petrol. parts £1.10 vauxhall to fit £61.00 (5 minutes job)
Air bag light comes on, no codes left, but vauxhall charge me £17.50 to reset.
Heavy smell of fumes when first started, no leaks in exhaust system??
Brakes squeal, new disc's and pads, still squeal??
ABS kicks in at low speed braking, thought car was falling to bits first time it happened. garage can't find a problem.
I will never buy a vauxhall again, high mile car when I bought it, but with full service history you would expect a better reliability. vauxhall prices are horrendous. master-fit are a joke.
Give me a mondeo any day.
General comments?
Average miles per gallon.
Average performance.
Expensive parts.
Don't touch them you will end up with an ulcer.
