Service guide for 2008 1.8 Vectra

**michael89** · 17th February 2013, 23:06

I'm planning on servicing my 2008 1.8 Vectra tomorrow. I've searched loads of forums but cannot find a DIy/how-to. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I have ordered fuel filter, Air filter, oil filter, oil and spark plugs. The only car I've ever serviced was my 2002 E46 320s so have no idea about spark plugs etc and don't want to break anything or cause any damage

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Spark plugs easy

remove cover (slides to right then lifts off)
t30 socket remove coil pack then sparks are their.

everything else is easy enough. Be gentle with fuel filter pipes

How to in the How2 section for everything service wise. Engine code is Z18XER if that helps too.

Fuel filter will be the hard part hope you ordered new clips

I looked in the how to section but didn't find anything unfortunately. If you have a link to a thread that would be a great help

And thanks for the engine code, I'm sure that will come in handy in the future when searching for things

This is the type of thing I mean, things that are easily broken. I am not even aware of these clips, on my 320d the fuel filter was under the passenger footwell and held in with two jubilee clips. Do vauxhall normally keep the clips you speak of in stock?

Das, thanks so much for taking the time to do this for me. I really appreciate the help, those links will surely speed things up for me and make things a lot easier. Just need one for the fuel filter now, seems like its the hardest part
