People!!!!
ive been fighting vauxhall over the last 2 weeks to get them to fix my vectra 2.2 due to the dreaded cam chain problem.
after finally speaking to someone who knows about vauxhalls at the customer services i got a case number and took it to my local dealer.
the car got recovered into the dealer yesterday and they left it with me that they were going to investigate.
today i got a phone call from them saying they believe that the chain may have jumped which may have bent some valves! not good!
they said it could of jumped due to the tensioner failing but they need to dismantle the engine to check.
i would hate to think how much a new head or maybe even a whole new engine would cost, i work for honda so have a rough idea and its not gonna be cheap!
i know that the whole problem with the cam chain failing on the 2.2s is due to a lack of oil lubricating the chain, surely this would also cause the tensioner to fail. would it?
anyone got any ideas or views please?
