You can also try Autovaux.co.uk They don't list Vectra/Signum parts on site but if you email them they will supply the parts you ask for and will post to Finland.

Is the car running bad? Mileage?

Also at this time car works perfectly almost 350 km and then "ventpipe" freeze blocked and oil came out of the engine.
Now it looks like cylinder liners is moved or if Im lucky just head gaskets needs replacement.

Yes, it running now very bad but still running

. About 150 000km.

Tell me about it ,PERKELE, really.

Im not sure what that pipe is in english. It could be Crankcase Vent Hose? It froze and oil sprayer through out the dipstick.

I read a few threads here and I understand that you're switched to a similar motor vehicle? Was it hard to do?

By the way, im always said that finnish is very easy language

Can you point to the hose here? Is it the one far to the right near the belt?

I have worked on an engine that was already out of the car.

Finnish is easy to read because 1 letter = 1 sound

It is a pipe that goes from the left, the timing belt housing. It passes through the plastic protective cover and it is a stupid design. Ends close to the turbo. I think the pipe is a different type Z30DT engine and I believe it to be better.
Is that image just z30dt engine?

The picture shows a Y30DT.

Oh I know which pipe you mean now. But how can that make the engine shooooot oil out of the dipstick is beyond me...

That the hose through the engine pressure discharge valve cover. If the tube becomes blocked, the pressure there is no other route out of the dipstick, oil cap or oil seal .. This is the exclusive North and frosty region issues.
