poundy anyone know what would be a reasonable life span?? in terms of milage? what would be considered high milage for a 2.2?
MikeS Re: what sort of life are we expected to get out of our z22s seen a vec c with over 220k z22yh swopped it for a brand new astra 1.6 [noob] engine was running perfect so he traded it in
vectra2k9 Re: what sort of life are we expected to get out of our z22s mines 143k miles and the compression is god showo..
poundy Re: what sort of life are we expected to get out of our z22s jwalker said: 160k and still going strong well thats encouraging
Daz Re: what sort of life are we expected to get out of our z22s Mine had 133k on it when i broke it for spares, its been in its new home for 3 years now so i wud imagine its around 160k by now..
Mordoklej Re: what sort of life are we expected to get out of our z22s 52k on mine and I don't expect it to die anytime soon. I would say 200k is possible if the engine is looked after. I probably won't go that far as I do 6-7k miles a year.. at that rate I would need 20 years notsure.gif

Stu08 Re: what sort of life are we expected to get out of our z22s There is a Z22SE powered Vec C on another Vauxhall forum with 275,000 miles if I remember correctly! One on here as well with high mileage. Will see if I can find my thread.

JohnnyN Re: what sort of life are we expected to get out of our z22s I never saw any smoke from Daz's hearse. We even did the trip upto Courtenay and back in it and it never missed a beat. It also held its own with all the other z22se cars on the rolling roads that I attended with him.
Daz Re: what sort of life are we expected to get out of our z22s She was a good ole hearse. Final power was 178bhp iirc...didnt even have a remap..

JohnnyN Re: what sort of life are we expected to get out of our z22s If its abused and not subject to regular servicing then anything will have a shorter life. There is also a 'safe' limit. The engine and it's components are good.
vocky Re: what sort of life are we expected to get out of our z22s I managed to get 750 miles from one of my engines 🙁
Maverick Re: what sort of life are we expected to get out of our z22s Mine son 29000 miles and over 9 years old so I think I have a fair bit of time left! 😃
