    Default What engine have i got ???

    I recently brought a Vectra V6 Turbo and was told it was the 280 (Z28NET) bhp version. When i insured the vehicle the insurance company also quoted the 280 bhp for the vehicle reg.

    I hooked the car upto OP-COM today to set the clock and date so i ran through the diagnostics aswell to see if anthing came up, whilst doing this i went on the vehicle ID page and it said that it was a Z28NEL.

    How would i find out what it is?

    If you have access to EPC try a decode on your chassis number... assuming it's the original engine it'll give you the correct code for that unit.

    None of the police cars are registered as vxr's unless they are internally and externally a vxr. They are registered SPECIAL.
