Vectra 1.9 CDTi '04 vs '05 and after...

**th3sundanc3kid** · 14th November 2010, 18:50

I'm picking up a 2004 Vectra 1.9 CDTi SRi 150 on Tuesday.

Whilst looking I noticed the '04 versions are listed as doing 0-60 in 8.8 seconds, whereas anything '05 and after supposedly does 0-60 in 9.8 seconds, why the second difference?

I'm certainly no expert, but spec-wise they look almost the same, both 1.9, 150bhp, and the latter versions have more torque.

Can anyone explain why the '04 versions should be 1 second faster to 60mph?

one change is that 04 didnt have DPF, where its possible on the 05 onwards.

Would that explain the 0-60 difference?

07 CDTI 150 does 0-60 in 8.9 secs, according to VX figures.

You don't get a diesel for its 0-60 time, try 30-70 instead. LOL

Where are you getting those figures from? I was just going by what I've seen on AutoTrader and Parkers website (s), and they only list 0-60 times.

I'm just curious really, I don't see any obvious difference that would make a 1 second difference. Just trying to learn a thing or two

Using manufacturer's own figures. Admittedly not known to be 100% accurate.

If you search the net there are several different 0-60 times listed. I think the figure given in Parkers is just plain wrong! 9.8 seconds is too slow for a 150bhp car of this size.

Yep. But the 9.8 figure is close to VX quoted figures for 1.9 CDTI 150 Estates Signums and Autos. Maybe someone got their wires crossed.
