    Just curious to all the vvt owners on here what mileage your car has done and has there been any major faults with the engine, mine is a 57 plate just coming up for 79k

    2008, done 44k.

    VVT solenoids replaced at about 38k. Air con compressor replaced about 32k. Electric window switch replaced about 35k.

    All under warranty.

    That's it.

    Although its MOT time next week.

    Not got vectra with this engine mate but wife's Astra twin top has it and its been fairly reliable in the almost two years we've had it and its got 28k miles on it,it's not a bad engine but I find the valve train pretty noisy on it and the clutch is on its way out,won't hopefully have it much longer so not really a problem

    Vehicle : Vectra C

    Trim : SRi Nav

    Engine : 1.8 VVT

    Year : 2006

    Mileage : 130k

    Default

    2006 with 97k and only a coilpack and a/c condensor replaced.

    Starting to get issues with the handbrake. I think i may have a sticky caliper.

    Could do with solonoids changing soon. Getting a bit to rattley on startup.

    Been a great car and the most reliable i have owned so far.

    Erm no! It's a problem with one of the slave cylinders or something,she's a good wee driver mate and not a clutch rider!
