    Eek Vectra 2.2 sri 16v running poorly

    Hi all,


    my vectra c 2.2 16v seems to be running quite badly, I thought i heard the timing chain make a horrible rattle the other day but the car has been running like poo before this happened, the car shudders as if im in the wrong gear and does feel a bit under powered whilst driving im thinking maybe the timing is slightly out I maybe wrong, what sort of symptoms will I get if the timing is out thanks

    If the chain's rattling it's possible the tensioner's gone and it's jumped a tooth.

    that was first instinct, it only rattled for about 5 seconds then stopped, will the engine shudder like that if it has jumped a tooth

    As its the SE it's probably not going to be fuel pump related as they don't fail on the SE. But its more than likely to be the chain and in that case you really shouldn't drive it until its sorted. You wont go into limp with a duff chain.

    Make sure they are using a genuine Vx chain kit, and that its the new type. The newer oil jet comes in the kit. that doesn't sound like a bad price, the kits alone are about £130.
