If Vectra B. Remove brake master cylinder from Booster, then gently bend tubing and cylinder away to lift alternator up and out.

POWER STEERING. Illuminates when a fault is detected in the Power Steering System. from ZC Series Handbook (2004 ZC Vectra) - my car.. .lol Email me at tubbytuk@exemail.com.au if you need further assistance. Thanks..

On the cylinder head (gearbox end), under the vacuum pump.

Youll need to remove the air box if its on a vectra B. Then remove the cambelt cover. There should be a bolt between the cam pullies, undo it and left out sensor.Then put everything back in reverse

Hi,

Child locks are located in the normal place (accessible only when the door is open), and are small circles, red or black in colour, with a slot about the size of the tip of your key in the center. Use your key to rotate (ie engage or disengage child lock).

By far the easiest,quickest, and least expensive way is to find the wiring looms that you need at a breakers yard That way you keep the original wiring colours intact.

They don't need much tightening, just enough so as not to leak.

The Haynes Manual says 8 n.m. but that's not much at all so add a quarter to half a turn. The following sites are have a lot of vauxhall information: http://www.vvoc.com http://www.vauxhallownersnetwork.co.uk

It does not have one.

The idle is electronically controlled, and is not adjustable.

Hi there I had the same problem traction control kept kicking in on my 2.6 v6 sri vectra b when i really could have done without it in the snow. I overcome this by taking No. 35 (10amp fuse) out from under the steering wheel. This made a lot of difference as I managed to get my car home where as I couldn't beforehand. Though this is also the fuse for the ABS so be careful as this I presume will also be disabled. Hope this helps Jim

It means that the antispin has been activated

As long as the engine is the same size, manual or auto transmissions should bolt up properly. If the vehicle has different engine options, make sure they are the same engines or else they will not bolt up.

That's the simple and basic answer... Going from one to the other isn't simple plug and play. Manual transmissions are simple, require gear oil, no cooling for the oil, no independent ecu, and usually different length of a drive shaft or CV axles (rear or front wheel drive). An automatic require automatic tranny oil specific to the make's requirements, hooks up to the radiator to cool the oil, and an independent ecu. Wiring is also different along the engine's wiring harness. Also, The alternator's wiring harness maybe affected. Relays maybe required aswell.

Can a manual and auto tranny be changed/switched? Yes

Is it practical? Absolutely not! There is alot to it that just a bolt on. Auto to Manual is easier, but you will need hydrolic lines for the clutch.

For a basic change of a failed head gasket,reckon on about

first of all you run the diagnostic scans ; then reset all of the errors codes , in most cases the wheels sensors caused this errors ,sometimes cleaning this sensor well resolve the problem , else , check the dot3 brakes oil level because Low level of oil well cues the same problem in other hand you must out the air from the brakes and add brakes oil , finally the abs controller system can cues this problem you can change it or fix

Usually around £345.98 but i have looked around i have seen one for £234.45.

it has a timing belt. VX state it should be changed at 100,000 miles but 60,000 is safer. Get the water pump changed at the same time as these tend to go after being disturbed in the belt change. expect to pay about £250 from an independent garage.

In the transmission.

Yes i have a steering problem with a SRI V6 Vectra that is on 1999V. Its a strange issue where the tracing changes on its own. If you go around a left turn quite hard the steering will be straight. If you go around a right turn sharp then the steering will be half a turn out. When the steering is out the car still drives fine with no wobbles and doesnt pull anywhere. Have all the track rod ends etc checked, seems ok! Anyone got any ideas? Thanks Jay

Loosen the wheel nuts drivers side front wheel,jack up the front of the car and place it on axle stands and remove the wheel,remove the plastic inner wheel arch (just the piece to the right not all of it,its in two sections you want the small section removed) open the bonnet,place a trolley jack under the sump of the engine using a piece of wood between the jack and the sump and just take the weight of the engine,remove the front stabiliser arm from the front of the engine,locate the aux belt tensioner and using a 15mm spanner turn the tensioner clockwise to relive the tension on the belt and slip it off the alternator pulley,make a note of the direction of the belt and its layout on the pulleys,remove the timing belt cover,remove the spark plug cover on the top of the engine and remove number 1 spark plug,using a socket turn the engine using the cranckshaft pulley bolt until number 1 piston is at TDC (if you use a long screw driver in the hole where number 1 spark was you will see it rise as you turn the engine) check that the two marks on the camshaft sprockets and the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley line up,you will now need something to stop the camshafts moving when you slip the belt off,this is called a locking tool buy 1 it will save you money,place the tool between the camshaft sprockets it will be tight so tap it home gently,looking at the layout make a drawing of this,you now need an allen key and spanner,place the allen key in the belt tensioner and hold it in the position its in and slacken off the tensioner enough so the belt can be slipped off the sprockets(its better to buy a timing belt kit and replace tensioner and both belt pulleys),once the belt is off replacement is a reversal,replace the water pump as well when refitting the belt have the writing or any marks on the belt facing the direction of rotation which is clockwise,use the water pump to take any slack off the belt it makes it a bit easier when using the tensioner.I think that covers it.

There is a early and late style stud, the early stud is 10mm (the stud size) and a 8mm is the late style, the torque for the 10mm is 25lbs and the 8mm is 18lbs , by the way they are head nuts not bolts

The ecu unit in a 2002 Vauxhall Vectra is located in the engine compartment of the vehicle. The computer can be seen behind the engine in front of the firewall on the passenger side.

go on web page called MPG.com, you enter make, model and engine size and it gives you the book answers of top speed, 0-60 times and fuel ecomony etc

if its a vectra b (95 -01) then its under the steering wheel there is a recess you put your hand in and pull it. on the cover you pulled off its stamped on there?

It is located inside the V of the engine blocks under the plenums

Open your bonnet look where the ecotec cover is to the left of that there will be a wire that goes in a gap that's 4 your cam sensor
