having run a vectra b v6 petrol for last 9yrs. at 74k it decided to drop a bolt from the egr valve straight through inlet=exit engine.
Having purchased a 2.0dti as a stand in car, with same alloys....the car handles aweful.

Tried ringing skurrays for tech/spec difference..No joy.

Question..what is difference and can i do a complete suspension swap.

Thanks in advance

I'd of thought the V6 springs would be a higher poundage due to the extra weight of the engine :dunno:

Thats correct. the v6's and 2.2dti use different front springs to the rest of the vectra range due to weight.
