I am selling my Vauxhall Vectra 5 Door Estate, 2.0L, 16 V, 138,551 miles, Gold, “R” reg, automatic, petrol and central locking.It unfortunately requires a head gasket or water pump. Other than that it drives beautifully, no other faults! I drive this vehicle to work and back with no bother, but I don’t want to take it on longer runs in case it overheats and recommend the buyer to fix head gasket. It’s a car well worth doing with pretty low mileage for the year - these cars in sale condition can fetch in the region of £600 - £1000. Asking for £350 o.n.o.
Please feel free to ask any questions,
Here’s the symptoms as best as I can describe.
The car heats to midway after around 5-10 miles, then creeps up to high temp,
There’s no oil in the water or water in the oil,
I’ve been told the car is most likely pumping air into the water system through the head gasket or it possibly could be the water pump.
It’s not an economical repair for me to do which is the reason for sale.
Tax till 31 May 2010.
No MOT.
Anyone interested?
