Vectra 3.0 v6 cdti
Discussion
They are on the whole, a fine car. There are isolated incidents of the SCV valves in the engine mounted fuel pump giving up, resulting in lumpy idle and poor performance, but these are few and far between. If it does show up, it tends to be at the 100k or so mark.
The engine is pretty refined and not too bad on fuel. The later ones fitted to the facelift cars do not respond well to tuning, so is best left alone. The prefacelift doesn't seem to have the same issue. It's mainly down to a change of spec to the fuel pump.
Apart from the above, they don't give any trouble at all. Just keep on top of the oil changes, like any car, and it'll be fine.

I did 120k in my V6 Signum. Cam belt change cost £300. servicing was either £110 or £190 at a main Vauxhall dealer. Front tyres would do 15k rears about 30k. Nothing went wrong with the car. Fuel consumption averaged out at 38-42 mpg worst was 32mpg in a mad dash back from France. Engine sounded like a proper V6. well worth a test drive
